Since everyone imagines the snow in Christmas, San Francisco weather in winter is nothing like Christmas. Despite it, San Francisco appears in popular Christmas songs. The most famous is “Christmas in San Francisco”. Another one is “Christmas by the bay”. The last one is “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco”. Since the author does not know any Christmas songs for New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, for example, the city must have some harmony with Christmas. Such harmony may be the romantic atmosphere this city has.
Among these Christmas songs, “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco” is the one makes people happy and smile.
It starts with rhythmical country and western-style music; “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco. There is not a snowflake to be found. There are no sleigh rides or snowmen like I see on a Christmas card.” This phrase is short but concise in describing the Bay Area in Christmas. It is short but enough to get people’s attention.
The song continues; “Oh but we got a lot of Christmas in our heart.” This short music line makes San Francisco people strongly nod and whisper in their brain; “Yes, we do. Yes, we do.”
Next phrase repeats the first phrase. Women chorus joins in the main vocalist and goes; “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco. There is not a snowflake to be found. There are no sleigh rides or snowmen like I see on a Christmas card.” This time it sounds more cheerful with women vocals. They make such a difference.
Early part ends with the repeating of the Bay Area people’s mind; “Oh but we got a lot of Christmas, we got a lot of Christmas, we got a lot of Christmas in our heart.” This part is also mixed vocal chorus and sounds more colorful. It sounds almost like seeing snow glittering.
This is the song singing for the Bay Area people. Many houses in the Bay Area started to dress up for Christmas with colorful lighting illumination. On eucalyptus Avenue in San Calros, Bay Area, there are houses extensively illuminating their homes for Christmas. Some of the houses there bring in snows for children to play. Children in San Francisco Bay Area look forward to Santa Claus coming. Although San Francisco does not have a weather like Christmas in many other areas, they share the spirit of Christmas. They celebrate Christmas like others. All San Francisco is looking forward to it. They feel exactly the song goes, “Oh but we got a lot of Christmas in our heart.”
