The Boarders - Looking For That Christmas Feeling

from Songs by Doug Hubley: Scary Christmas Polka by The Boarders / The Fashion Jungle / Doug Hubley

about

In December 1981, I was stressed by finals and the demise of my current band, the original Fashion Jungle — but also electrified by my new affair with Gretchen Schaefer. That peculiar tension informs this song exploring the longing for some kind of meaning to Christmas that didn’t involve, well, Christ. I added the intro in 1984.
