Wonderland Burlesque's The 12 Days Before Xmas: You Make It Feel Like Christmas

Wonderland Burlesque's 
The 12 Days Before Xmas: 
You Make It Feel Like Christmas

The 6th Day Before Xmas

Pop star crushes may come and go... but this Diamond is forever!

What girl wouldn't love a Diamond for the holidays?

You Make It Feel Like Christmas began life as a track on Neil Diamond's sixteenth studio album, 1983's Primitive. Written by Diamond and released as a single, the song managed to reach #28 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary singles chart.

It was later included on Diamond's twentieth album, 1992's The Christmas Album and 2009's A Cherry Cherry Christmas, thus cementing it's place as part of the holiday canon. Diamond performed the song on his 1992 television Christmas special. 

On December 4, 2009, Diamond told The Sun: "I wrote it to reflect my feeling that sometimes Christmas is too much about gifts and parties and the spiritual part is a secondary theme. I want to make a point of celebrating that part of the holiday."

Yes, a kiss on the lips may be quite continental, but Neil Diamond is a girl's best friend!

What makes it feel like Christmas, for you?
Me? Gin, darlings. Gin.

I'm sure Neil Diamond would enjoy a gin or 12 with you. I am rather concerned about the size of his bauble in that last picture, though - it seems he'd be rather lopsided...

Always liked this dude. Saw him in concert in his very early days. Still one of the best I've attended. Nice imagery in the video!
