"Step into Christmas" is a Christmas song by Elton John (Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin) released in 1973. It was originally released as a stand-alone single in 1973 with the B-Side "Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd Be a Turkey at Christmas)", peaking at #23 in the UK.
According to liner notes about the song by Elton John and Bernie Taupin (in "Rare Masters" and "Elton John's Christmas Party"), the track and its b-side, both produced by Gus Dudgeon, were recorded during a quickie session at Morgan Studios in London, owned by drummer Barry Morgan, who had played on several of Elton's early albums. "Step Into Christmas" was mixed to sound like one of producer Phil Spector's record, using lots of compression and imitating his trademark "wall of sound" technique. This was according to both Elton and Taupin intentional, an homage of sorts to Christmas songs by Spector-produced groups such as The Ronettes.
Song Lyrics:
Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me(ohh)
Step into Christmas
Let's get together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat and drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free(hold on)
Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me

@BNPpatriot I reckon you're right...something's going on. Probably big record company insists on Chritsmas song and gets his way. Petulant Sir Elton.
