“Green, gold, red & silver,
as we fall asleep”
-The Duds, ‘Christmas Daze’
Those lyrics remind me of my childhood. I loved going to bed and seeing the multi-coloured lights on the eves of the house paint colours on my bedroom ceiling.
It’s a simple memory but one that makes me happy.
I think that’s part of the power of a great song - it allows you to connect to something within yourself. Something like a nearly forgotten memory of Christmas lights.
The Duds released 3 other holiday tunes in 2021 — they are all worth checking out.
So go do it. Now.
More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador
Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.
I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2022 NL Music Advent Calendar.
Follow along on Instagram stories and get playlists here.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas… and be kind to yourself
