Bluegrass Band Spreads Joy with Country Song ‘Christmas Time’s a-Comin’

The Petersens sing a lively Christmas song called Christmas Time’s a-Comin’.

Although it’s not yet Christmas, this talented family of singers and musicians seems to be in the Christmas spirit.

The Petersens are a full-time family band based in Branson, consisting of Katie Petersen on fiddle, Ellen Petersen Haygood on banjo, Matt Petersen on guitar, Julianne Petersen on mandolin, Karen Petersen on bass, and Emmett Franz on dobro.

Christmas Time’s a-Comin’ is a classic Christmas song written by Bell Labs engineer Benjamin “Tex” Logan. Originally sung by Bill Monroe in 1951, it was later covered in 1994 by country music singer Sammy Kershaw.

Christmas time’s a comin’, Christmas time’s a comin’
Christmas time’s a comin’ and I know I’m going home

Snowflakes are falling, my old home’s a calling
Tall pines are humming, Christmas time’s a coming
Can’t you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
When it’s snowing I’ll be going back to my country home

The Bible goes into great detail about the prophecy and miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. It is one of the most important events in biblical history. As we celebrate, let us remember the love of God for us and spread the good news with others.
