about

On a placid Christmas Eve-Eve some seven years ago, a new wintertime tradition was sparked when Max took to the only quiet room in his family’s house to record an intimate rendition of Welcome Christmas from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. From the initial effort, the tradition has earned more pizzaz and character with each passing year thanks to collaboration with fellow lover of yule Joel Matthew Gray.

This time of year has always held a special place in the lives of Max and Joel, and their intention has always been to try to share the utter joy they feel with others, regardless of how and what others celebrate. We hope you will enjoy listening to our funky, blue-eyed soul anthem of unity for 2020, and will find a place for it in your yearly traditions.

lyrics

Wintertime is back in the grande north
Every lane is glistening and swingin'
And every smile rings in the new day
And all our problems seem to float away!

The season of giving is here
The most wonderful time of the year!

The feeling grows
It's time to let one another know
We're in this together for worse or for better
In all the nurturing ways we can be here for each other today
We are one!

Bells are ringing out through the cold air
Festive home hang mistletoe and holly
Folx will gather in old and in new ways
And everyone can celebrate better days!

The feeling grows
Let's let one another know
We're in this together
In all the nurturing ways
We're here for each other today
We are one!

Ooh feeling grows
Let's let one another know
We're in this together
In all the nurturing ways
We can be here for each other today
We are one!
