about

Chaz's 15th annual original Christmas single! This one's a tribute to those who play a crucial role over the holidays who have gone overlooked for far too long! Written during a back-to-back screenings of 'Black Christmas' and 'Dial Code: Santa Claus.'

All proceeds will be split evenly between RAINN and Wigs For Kids

lyrics

It takes a lot to make the holidays happen
More than the cookin', more than the wrappin'
the chain reactions, the mom and pops
Jingle Alll the Way, the holidays don't stop
But even those who don't observe play a crucial part
undervalued and overlooked from the start
so this is for the helpers who you really should consider
come and make their wishes all the warmer this winter.

And this is for...

This is for the elves helping Santa at the mall
taking pics of Santa while the sticky children crawl.
This is for attendants at Christmas Tree Lots
picking up the pine after a chop-chop-chop.
This is for my people in snow removal,
the hours are erratic with no approval.
This is for the ground service at the airport
moving back breaking baggage after split-second sorts.
This is for those behind the wheel in transit
passing passengers in perpetual panic.
For the bartenders, bouncers, waitstaff and cooks
I hope you all get a bonus and it's all off the books.

And this is for...
