Riley Green Brings “Christmas To Me” to the Stage

Country favorite Riley Green released his heartfelt holiday track “Christmas To Me” around this time last year. The song is packed with nostalgia, painting a picture of the Alabama native’s childhood Christmas memories.

“And all them in-laws are showin’ up late /
For a five-star meal on a paper plate /
The sound of barefoot feet runnin’ through the house /
The football game’s just about to start /
About the time momma has a come-apart /
‘Cuz of sister’s new tattoo she just found out about /
There’s a string of lights all tangled around the tree /
That’s Christmas to me.”
