"Green Christmas" is a Christmas song by the Barenaked Ladies from the soundtrack for the 2000 film How The Grinch Stole Christmas!. It was later re-recorded a studio acoustic version for the Christmas compilation Maybe This Christmas Too? in 2003, and re-recorded again for the band's own holiday album, Barenaked for the Holidays, released in 2004. The song was performed on several television appearances promoting the album.
Famous quotes containing the words green and/or christmas:
“With sudden roar and aged pine-tree falls,—
One crash, the death-hymn of the perfect tree,
Declares the close of its green century.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Monday’s child is fair in face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for its living;
And a child that is born on a Christmas day,
Is fair and wise, good and gay.”
—Anonymous. Quoted in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire, vol. 2, ed. Anna E.K.S. Bray (1838)
