about

A friend asked me to make a Christmas song for his annual holiday mixtape that he makes for his friends. I jumped at the challenge, and decided I'd make it about Portland.

lyrics

It's Christmas in Portland
But there's no snow on the ground
There’s never snow on the ground
For christmas in Portland anymore

But we string up the lights here
Across every fence
From St. John's to the Pearl
To the Eastside down to Lents

It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X

The stag turns to a reindeer
Off the Burnside Bridge
I got postcards and greetings from my friends and my family
Taped to the fridge

Let’s have a thrift store christmas
You’ll get a second hand gift
Locally handcrafted with love by an artist
Stitch by stitch

It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X

The Blazers are playing
But my set's on the fritz
So I walk to the upscale dive bar and watch the game with my friends

There's a meth head on the corner
Picking imaginary fights
And I see a dreadlocked weirdo
Riding a really tall bike

It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X

Yeah it's Christmas in Portland
Another year gone quick
Portland is changing
Brick by brick

It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
It’s christmas in P-D-X
