Step Into Christmas-Elton John

Step Into Christmas
Released as a UK single in November, 1973
Music: Elton John
Lyrics: Bernie Taupin
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
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
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

"Step into Christmas" is a Christmas song by Elton John (Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin) released in 1973. Though 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. Due to Billboard magazine editorial policy it was held off the Hot 100. It did, however, make #1 on a specially designated Christmas chart, and it appeared in the Cashbox Top 100 charts. It was later included as a bonus track on the 1995 remastered reissue of the album Caribou, even though it was released in the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road days. It also appears on the albums Elton John's Christmas Party, Rare Masters, To Be Continued, and The Best Christmas Album In The World...Ever!
[edit] Other versions

It was covered by the band The Wedding Present on their 1992 album Hit Parade II, and also covered by The Business for the Bollocks to Christmas EP.

An rough mix was needed to shoot this video clip and have it ready in time to ship out to the UK and European telly nets. While it was being edited, the band redid the vocals and a new mix was used for the single. By that time, this version was already out the door and on the air and it was too late to correct it. Thus a rare mix that I had completely forgetten about until stumbling across it tonight. I have not seen this since 1974!!!! Thanks Shamara!
