Yule-tide always means to me, first and foremost, people gathering inside to stay safe from cold weather, feasting on the still-recent autumn harvest and sharing stories to pass the time. While Covid-19 has prevented large in-person gatherings, the idea of that winter feast is still very much possible within our own households. My focus on the fire in particular has to do with a project I've had going to ready a fireplace in my home for use - it needed a hearth to protect the floor, and some safety checks to ensure nothing would catch fire that wasn't supposed to.
Musically, this one is rather unusual for me - a pretty simple polka rhythm, just voice and squeezebox. Anyone trying to play this on guitar or similar sorts of instruments will probably want to capo 1 fret. This also sits fairly low in the vocal range overall, so if you're someone with more of a tenor or soprano voice you'll want to shift it up several keys.
