"Christmas in Georgia" my version of the Alabama hit song

By Jtfried | Music and videos | 3 Dec 2020

This is a video years in the making. I first took the midi (free download) for the ALABAMA song, "Christmas in Dixie" and I changed the lyrics.
I took out anything that mentioned California, Chicago, Memphis etc... and replaced then with places in Ga where either I or some of my family have lived.
Then, after a year or so, I added harmonies.
Then after another year of so, I found images from Fannin County, Smyrna, Metter, St Simons Island (all of which are mentioned in the song) and ending it with a mention of my hometown, Claxton Ga.

All instrumentation outside the original, bare bones midi,
Are me.
All vocals are me.
I hope you enjoy.
