Drawing us in with a descending Christmas melody featuring bells, guitar and rhythmic drums, Mick J. Clark opens It’s Getting Near Christmas with timeless notions and anticipation of the festive season. We immediately connect with the wholesome nature of the song and the vivid painting of Christmas cheer that Mick brings to life with his lyrics.
Accompanied by sublime vocal harmonies, Mick sings, “It’s Getting Near Christmas, decorations wrapping presents no more time to spare, everybody hurrying and rushing everywhere, yeah it’s getting near Christmas, Santa Claus will soon be loading up his sleigh, now the snow is falling everybody knows that Mr. Snowman will appear and when he’s here it means it getting near Christmas…”
In essence, It’s Getting Near Christmas is about the excitement, joy and anticipation of Christmas as it draws closer. We are writing this with a mere sixty days until Christmas 2026 and the narrative of the track poignantly captures the busy preparations of decorating, wrapping presents, shopping and getting ready for festive celebrations.
It perfectly highlights the familiar magic of the season, with falling snow, Santa Claus, snowmen, Christmas crackers, party games, carol singing and ringing bells, whilst expressing the happiness of counting down the days we can all be together again. Alongside the fun and festive atmosphere, the song also celebrates the warmth of love and romance, with a tender moment of cuddling by the fireside and sharing a kiss beneath the mistletoe.
Speaking on the release, Mick succinctly shares, “I hope my song It’s Getting Near Christmas captures the excitement leading up to Christmas Day, the stress and the romance!”.
