Lyrics

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Hope you feel as
Good as me

On the water
In the sea
It's alright
To do it differently

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Merry Christmas
From the beach

I see the white caps in the ocean
Pretend it's snowing when it's sunny
I'm decorating a coastal pine
Our little Charlie Brown Christmas Time

We're making angels in the sand
Digging holes to nowhere
Bit different than tradition
Hanging tiny light around the palm tree
It's a little bit chilly
At least to me...

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Hope you feel as
Good as me

On the water
In the sea
It's alright
To do it differently

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Merry Christmas

On a bright December night
Walk the coastline with me
Maybe we could grab a ring
And light a bonfire

I hear that Kyle got a campsite
Up in Carlsbad
You know he always got that good beer
The good green
The good times
Are you feeling fine?
Then sing along with it:

Merry Christmas
From the beach
Hope you feel as
Good as me

By the ocean
In the sea
It's alright
To do it differently

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Standalone holiday single (December 13, 2024 · Beformer), not on US, Moonlight Beach, or A Very Doobert Christmas, Vol. 1 (that's the Michael Bublé, My Santa Buddy era). Same seasonal lane as don't join the skeletons!: holiday song, California register.

The hook is the whole argument: merry Christmas from the beach, it's alright to do it differently. White caps for snow, a coastal pine for the Charlie Brown tree, sand angels and palm-tree lights, a little bit chilly / at least to me. SoCal winter as its own tradition.

The invitation is homie geography like Feels So Good: a December coastline walk, a bonfire, Kyle's campsite up in Carlsbad with the good beer and the good green. Not trying to win Christmas, just to mean it from where you actually live. See: Catalog.
