Jakarta (ANTARA) –
Menurut Songfacts, tayangan spesial tersebut merupakan alasan utama mengapa Williams dijuluki “Mister Christmas”.
Williams memasukkan lagu itu dalam album natal pertamanya “The Andy Williams Christmas Album” yang dirilis pada 1963 melalui Columbia Records.
Lirik lagu itu menampilkan cerita yang berfokus pada kegiatan yang dilakukan saat kumpul-kumpul antara teman dan keluarga di hari natal, seperti mengadakan pesta memanggang permen gelatin (marshmallow), berbagi cerita hantu atau cerita seru tentang natal sebelumnya, dan menyanyikan lagu-lagu natal di cuaca musim dingin.
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time
Of the year
