Story Behind The Song

Written after a conversation between both writers about where they would spend Christmas, to escape the snow and cold of the typical holiday scenario. Both agreed LA would be the perfect choice, and the song was naturally conceived in the mindset of The Beach Boys.

Song Description

In the Style of the classic sound of The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson, California Christmas is currently in demo form, but offers the option of a harmony laden, timeless hit for years to come. Incorporating all the sights and sounds of California and mentions of Santa and Rudolph, its driving rhythm will blast out of cars all through Christmas time.

Lyrics

WELL I'M TIRED OF FREEZING AND SHOVELLING SNOW
WRAPPED UP TIGHTER THAN AN ESKIMO
SO I PACKED MY BAGS AND I BOARDED A PLANE
AND I'M NEVER EVER GONNA COME BACK AGAIN
WELL THERES ONLY ONE PLACE THAT I WANNA GO
HANGING ON THE BEACH IN MY BUNGALOW

CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS

WELL I SAW 'OL SANTA CLAUS CATCHING A WAVE
SO I GUESS I BETTER NOT MISBEHAVE
HE'S SPLASHING ON SUNBLOCK CHEEKS AGLOW
FLIRTIN' WITH THE BEACH GIRLS HO HO HO
SOAKING UP RAYS WORKING ON HIS TAN
SIPPING ON EGGNOG FEET IN THE SAND

CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS

WELL WHERES THAT RUDOLPH WHERE'D HE GO?
HE'S HANGING OUT AT 90210
LITTLE NIP TICK GET HIM ON HIS WAY
GOTTA LOOK GOOD HEADING UP THE SLEIGH
CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS

CAR;S ALL DECKED IN CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
CRUISING DOWN THE STRIP, AIN'T IT QUITE A SIGHT
BEACH BOYS BLASTIN' ON THE RADIO
GOT THE DASHBOARD TRIMMED WITH MISTLETOE
GONNA HAVE OURSELVES A PARTY WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
DON'T YA KNOW THAT SANTA CLAUS IS BACK IN TOWN
CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS

WELL WHERES THAT RUDOLPH WHERE'D HE GO?
HE'S HANGING OUT AT 90210
LITTLE NIP TICK GET HIM ON HIS WAY
GOTTA LOOK GOOD HEADING UP THE SLEIGH
CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS
