In "Every Day Is Christmas," artist and author Armando Heredia delivers a heartwarming ballad that beautifully encapsulates the bittersweet joy of the holiday season, especially when loved ones are far away. This episode explores the emotional depth of the lyrics, the nostalgia it evokes for past Christmases, and the motivation behind a father crafting this song for his sons, particularly one who can't be home for the holidays.

The song's opening lines, "Soon it will be Christmas day / And we’ve hung the lights with care," instantly transport listeners to a cozy and festive atmosphere reminiscent of classic Christmas carols like "Deck the Halls". However, a poignant undercurrent of longing surfaces as the father acknowledges the physical distance between him and his sons: "And I know we’re here and you’re there / But you’re right here in our hearts". This sentiment echoes timeless Christmas ballads like "I'll Be Home for Christmas," expressing the universal yearning for family during the holidays.

Heredia's lyrics paint a vivid picture of past Christmas Eves, where he and his wife would stay up late wrapping gifts for their young sons, creating a tangible sense of nostalgia for cherished family traditions. He acknowledges that "time is a thief," yet emphasizes that it can never steal the precious gift of his children. This powerful sentiment encapsulates the enduring love between a parent and child.

The chorus bursts forth with the heartwarming message that every day feels like Christmas because of the love and joy his family brings him: "It’s like everyday is Christmas / Like everyday is Christmas". This refrain shifts the focus from the holiday itself to the deeper meaning it embodies: celebrating love, connection, and gratitude for family.

Despite his son's absence, the father affirms their commitment to upholding Christmas traditions, gathering to share the joy of giving, even if it's through phone calls. The lyrics highlight the adaptability of family rituals, emphasizing that love and connection transcend physical boundaries. He underscores that the most precious gift is his family, "the gift that makes it like Christmas everyday".

The song concludes with a message of love and hope, acknowledging the son's absence while celebrating the gift of his existence. The father expresses his longing to hear his son's laughter through the phone and dreams of being together, "if only in our dreams".

"Every Day is Christmas" is a deeply personal song born from Heredia's own experience. His son's inability to come home for Christmas due to financial constraints inspired him to write this heartfelt ballad. This personal touch imbues the song with authenticity and makes it resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet longing for absent loved ones during the holidays.
