Since everyone envisions snow at Christmas, San Francisco weather in winter is nothing like Christmas. Despite this, San Francisco appears in popular Christmas songs. The most famous is “Christmas in San Francisco.” Another is “Christmas by the Bay.” The last one is “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco.” Since the author does not know Christmas songs from New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, for example, the city must have a certain harmony with Christmas. Such harmony can be the romantic atmosphere that this city has.

Among these Christmas songs, “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco” is the one that makes people happy and smile.

It begins with rhythmic, western-style country music; “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco. Not a snowflake to be found. No sleigh rides or snowmen like I see on a Christmas card.” This sentence is short but concise to describe the Bay Area at Christmas. It’s short but enough to grab people’s attention.

The song continues; “Oh, but we have a lot of Christmas in our hearts.” This short line of music makes the people of San Francisco nod hard and whisper in their brains; “Yes we do. Yes we do.”

The next sentence repeats the first sentence. The women’s chorus joins the lead vocalist and leaves; “It’s Christmas once again in San Francisco. Not a snowflake to be found. No sleigh rides or snowmen like I see on a Christmas card.” This time it sounds happier with female vocals. They make a big difference.

The first part ends with a replay of the minds of the people of the Bay Area; “Oh, but we have a lot of Christmas, we have a lot of Christmas, we have a lot of Christmas in our hearts.” This part is also a mixed vocal chorus and sounds more colorful. It sounds almost like seeing snow sparkling.

This is the song that the people of the Bay Area sing. Many homes in the Bay Area began dressing up for Christmas with fairy lights. On Eucalyptus Avenue in San Calros, Bay Area, there are houses extensively lighting up their homes for Christmas. Some of the houses there bring snow for the children to play. Children in the San Francisco Bay Area are looking forward to the arrival of Santa Claus. Although San Francisco doesn’t have Christmas-like weather in many other areas, they do share the spirit of Christmas. They celebrate Christmas like everyone else. All of San Francisco is looking forward to it. They feel exactly what the song says: “Oh, but we have a lot of Christmas in our hearts.”
