ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE GREENBELT FOUNDATION

The Greater Golden Horseshoe is growing rapidly while climate change becomes a greater reality. The ways we protect, enhance and utilize the 2 million acre Greenbelt are vitally important. You can help ensure a flourishing environmental and agricultural legacy for future generations by donating to the Greenbelt Foundation.

Guelph friends and musical collaborators Thomas Hammerton and Nick Zubeck have teamed up to compose a modern Holiday classic. Told from the perspective of a young child pondering the potential implications of climate change as Christmas draws near, the message is poignant and clear: we all need to help. Calling on friends to bring the project to life, they enlisted 7 year old Delmont Wall to sing, musical wizard Drew Jurecka to arrange and perform the strings, and producer Sandro Perri to mix and master. Filmmaker Dustin Seabrook captured the cozy yuletide setting to create the inviting video, while Sarah Hammerton puppeteered our narrator musing in front of a crackling fireplace and Christmas tree.

lyrics

I need to ask my parents
I wonder if they know
There’s only 3 more sleeps left
But where is all the snow?

I wish that I had that feeling
I wish the ground was white
There’s only 3 days left
But something isn't right

if planet earth is changing
and things get really bad
Santa's home could vanish
And that just makes me sad

But when I have a problem
I ask a grownup’s help
So grownups if you’re listening:
Please don’t let the North Pole melt

Will Mrs. Claus and all the elves
have a place to stay?
Will Rudolph and the reindeer
just disappear one day?

There’s only 3 more sleeps left
and time is running out
I’m trying to remember
What Christmas is about

So I don’t want any presents
I only want your help
If anyone is listening
Please don’t let the North Pole melt
