From The Tell Alls comes a quaint, poignant, and supple Christmas tune that retains its jovialness despite its quietness. The tidy and string driven folk tune has an endearing core to it, the kind of unavoidable sincerity and purity in emotion that’s bound to leave you smiling at life and the festivities around you without completely revelling in the cheer and pomp of it all. It’s got the right atmosphere to take in the holiday season when you’re feeling a tad bit low, not entirely ready to fully sink and immerse yourself in the grandeur and celebratory elements with complete commitment.
But, not for a moment does that make ‘It’s Christmas Time’ the slightest bit melancholy. Rather, it’s got this sort of tears from joy feeling to it, the emotion that comes out when you find yourself just so overloaded with happiness but somewhat tired to express it through cheer. Now, listening to it after a wonderful holiday week with friends and family, its ability to evoke nostalgia is simply unmatched.
