Julie on her second tour, reminiscing Three Decembers in New York City, sellin' fir trees Pack a truck with 90 fir trees, pack 'em tight The drive down from St. John Was almost always easy The drive back On Christmas Day was not Julie on her second tour, reminiscing The cassette of Daydream Nation, worn out The Bernadette Peters autograph on my cast The CBGB T-shirt I'm wearin' The drive down from St. John Was almost always easy The drive back On Christmas Day was not Julie on her second tour, reminiscing The cassette of Daydream Nation worn out The Bernadette Peters autograph on my cast The CBGB T-shirt I'm wearin' The drive down from St. John Was almost always easy The drive back On Christmas Day was not Julie on her second tour, reminiscing Three Decembers in New York City sellin' fir trees Pack a truck with 90 fir trees, pack 'em tight

about

"Julie on her second tour, reminiscing..."

Two versions of the holiday classic "Xmas Trip", a fantasy on the imagined memories of a touring Canadian musician recalling her former employment selling Christmas trees on the streets of NYC. [shoutout to Julie Doiron, ex-Eric's Trip, who maybe never really did this...]

Along with the original recording from our album _Start Packing_, here is also a "live on the radio" version.

Video directed by Mark Steiner: youtu.be/Uk6TD1PX22c (Please ignore the 'joke' on the mondegreen involving a certain loathsome ex-mayor. See lyrics for correct words.)

Free to listen, but please consider a purchase and know that we are donating all proceeds from this to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. ( afsp.org ) You could also donate to them directly, of course - but whatever you do, try also to reach out to friends and others who may be depressed or hurting.

Please remember that the drive home isn't always easy...
