The Barefoot Movement is back into the Christmas Spirit | Eastern North Carolina Now

    What do you know, I just found a fine little performance by The Barefoot Movement of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", Bluegrass style. It is a wonderful, understated rendition of this Christmas season standard, more than appropriate to sing along with should you feel so inclined, and to that extent, we have provided the words below the video, should you need the assistance.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
