When Canadian actor, singer/songwriter, and screenwriter Michael Dickson sat down to pen his first Christmas song, he wasn’t expecting to write a COVID Christmas tune; it just sort of turned out that way. The result? “Dear Santa… that’s enuff,” and it’s available now!
“The song started simply as a child's letter to Santa,” the Ottawa-based artist shares. “Then, while writing it, the child realizes just how fortunate he really is. As the song evolved,” Dickson continues, “the events of the past year kept creeping in. I just couldn’t tell the story without acknowledging the struggles people everywhere are going through; families losing loved ones… Their jobs... Their homes...
“Similar to last year, this is going to be a difficult Christmas for a lot of people.”
Once all of the elements of the song fell into place, Dickson felt he had something many people could relate to. “I wanted to get the song out there, but knew it wouldn’t have the same impact with me singing it.”
Watch and listen to “Dear Santa...that's enuff” (feat. Viggo Hanvelt) here:
