HIM:
Put on your Santa hat
And don't worry about the rest
Then come meet me in the kitchen to bake out a Christmas fest
I will knead and roll your dough
And then cut out a soft embrace
You can eat my snickerdoodle
I'll wipe cinnamon from your face
Oh baby Santa hat
Put on your Santa hat
HER:
Put on your Santa hat
And that's all you need to wear
When we go erect your Christmas tree
And we trim it with great flare
My sweets will make your stocking bulge
Over my chimney so warm
In my closet I have games to play
While we're snowed-in by the storm
Oh baby Santa Hat
Put on your Santa hat
They say when the year reaches its end
That you should be near your special friend
So this is the time to make that hold true
And this is the time for me to show you
That "All Through the Night" is not just a carol
And we don't need much Christmas apparel
If you obey the mistletoe
No matter which way it will go
Yeah
Mistletoe
HIM:
Put on your Santa hat
It's the greatest time of year
HER:
The greatest time to kneel down
And remind us why we're here
HIM:
Take the one you love to hold
And really hold them dear
HER:
Let's make every day like Christmas,
Come and fill me with great cheer
Oh baby Santa hat
Put on your Santa hat
If I took cocaine I might be more in touch with my surroundings
And this Capra film might move with magic once again
But I don't do drugs, and you shouldn't start on Christmas
Because the holidays are just to bridge the gap from now to then
If we get too numb, we won't feel the snow freezing our limbs off
But it's difficult to concentrate all of the time
Because the path's snowed over, and you can't clear it on Christmas
We'll stay in, stay warm and listen to iced-over chimes
For the season we'll pretend that we do not give in to anger
We'll dust off the songs and tell the world just how we feel
Because we always fight, but you shouldn't start on Christmas
Every year the world should take a month or two to rest and heal
about
The Christmas single the world has been waiting for.

Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
