Christmas by the Bay

[PPHBOYS]

Love this song! I am actually from the southbay but I am always in the city to watch Giants games and eat at the restaurants. Sf is a magical city.

[ledisko00]

Love love love this song. I live in the Bay Area but have just recently missed San Francisco a lot because I've been in socal for college, and on top of that, I've been obsessed with Christmas music this year. I just heard this song for the first time on the radio yesterday and it tied everything together perfectly!

[sarabooswimfly]

Thanks for posting this song! I heard it on KOIT and had to hear it again. I can't find the chords for it anywhere so I guess I'll have to try to transcribe it! A fun task...

[wonderglory]

That was really wonderful! I was born and raised in San Francisco.

[mochaproductionss]

it's a rainy day here in socal. listening to this song and looking outside at the bay area-like weather evokes great feelings of homesickness. i love the bay area

[carrotjuse]

Makes me so homesick.

[Allstar955]

Makes me think of the time my boyfriend came out to visit during christmas to SF. Best memories ever made. <3 Who would have known that Christmas by the Bay would lead to the most wonderful future that lies ahead of us both. I can't wait. <3

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome song! I've never heard of Tim Hockenberry until recently, when I listened to the song Believe, from Trans-Siberian Ochestra's newest cd, Night Castle. Great Christmas song. I love it!

[nycboyforlife]

This song brings tears to my eyes. One of the most beautiful and heartfelt Christmas songs ever. Tim Hockenberry's voice makes it that much more wonderful

[chaallus]

Absolutely lovely! Thank you Tiffany!

[TICOABROAD]

[mstewart73]

I can't believe i'm sitting here listening to this .. but it's as great song! If anyone listens to KOIT during their Holiday Music Blitz, this is the first song they always play.

[Jiggilee]

ROFL

[kruger611]

Beautiful. Makes me grateful to be an SF resident.

[tiffanyshanel]

i agree..that's why i had to post this video..i couldn't find this song anywhere on youtube!

[memphisjosh]

I am glad you did.I had looked everywhere for it.I remembering the first time I heard it when I lived in Livermore back in '03.Now I live in Los Angeles and miss the bay.

[sassyreggae]

@tiffanyshanel

and bless you for posting it ! It brings tears to my (Eastbay) eyes too. For my money Vic Damone's Xmas in SF does not even come close to this.
