Canadian Country Artist Lynne Taylor Donovan Offers Special Holiday Wishes with “Dear Santa”

Canadian Country Artist Lynne Taylor Donovan Offers Special Holiday Wishes with “Dear Santa”

More toys? More tech? Not so fast, sings a voice of reason.

Lynne Taylor Donovan’s stirring old-school alto delivers a potent—and perennial—holiday message in “Dear Santa.” Adult contemporary- as well as country-friendly, the ultra-listenable track lends itself to multiple playlists and diverse formats. The timely lyrics by Tony Koenen offer both an appeal for peace to the universal Father Christmas and a plea for family spirit over excess spending to the Santas on the home front:

It’s not the gift, it’s the thought
And I’ve thought this one through

Giving of a gift is so easy
But giving of yourself makes wishes come true.

Recording this song was a no-brainer for Donovan: “I was conditioned by advertising as a child into believing that Christmas meant gifts and gifts meant love.” “Dear Santa” dispels that seasonal myth with a classic melody and the singer’s trademark warmth and style.
