10: Merry Christmas, Alabama (Never Far From Home)

Notices

Christmas Island is Jimmy Buffett's 1996 collection of Christmas-themed music and is his 22nd studio album. It features covers of popular Christmas songs in Buffett's musical stylings as well as two tracks which Buffett wrote for the album. "Twas the Night Before Christmas" is a hidden track.

Although Christmas Island only received lukewarm reviews and is somewhat unpopular among parrotheads (not me!), several tracks remain very popular around the Christmas season. "Ho Ho Ho & A Bottle Of Rum" was the track chosen to be played live for promoting the album when first released, and seems to remain the most popular off the album.

Although no singles were released, "Jingle Bells", "Mele Kalikimaka", "Ho Ho Ho & A Bottle Of Rum" and "Merry Christmas, Alabama (Never Far From Home)" get considerable amount of radio airplay during the season.

Another Buffett song, "Christmas In The Caribbean" (released as a single in 1985 and later on Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads) is also known to be a favorite on radio stations.

I'll Be Home For Christmas
Jimmy Buffett and Matt Betton
From the Album Christmas Island

Merry Christmas, Alabama
Merry Christmas, Tennessee
Merry Christmas, Louisiana
To St. Barth’s and the Florida Keys

Merry Christmas, Mississippi
Where I started this wild and crazy run
Such a long way from that first birthday
Merry Christmas, Everyone

And Merry Christmas, Colorado
Though far from you all I have roamed
‘Tis the season to remember
All the faces and the places that were home

‘Tis the season to remember
And to count up all the ports of call I’ve known
And to thank his mercies tender
For I’m never far from home

Merry Christmas to my saints and guardian angels
Who protect me as I roam
All the faces and the places that were home

Guess my life’s moved at near light speed
Since I started this wild and crazy run
Such a long way from that first birthday
Merry Christmas, Everyone

‘Tis the season to remember
That we’re never far from home

Merry Christmas, Everyone
