There’s something nice about Christmas cards. Obviously, it’s nice to know that the people in your circle are thinking of you and wishing you well but, more than that, a card (or letter) makes it tangible. You get to hold in your hands an object held and written (or at least signed) by a friend who may be miles away.

It’s a kind of closeness for when you can’t be close.

The new song by Chris Ryan (co-written by Chris Kirby) runs with that idea. It’s about feeling that kind of comfort, joy and love the whole year through. It’s a well-crafted country-pop song.

I like it… and so does Hollywood.

‘Christmas Card Feeling’ appears in the 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Wolf Creek.

More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador

Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.

I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2022 NL Music Advent Calendar.
