At Xmas Time, I m Always High

The Holiday Anthem They Didn’t Want You to Hear

“At Xmas Time, I’m Always High” isn’t your typical holiday track. It’s a cheeky, playful, offbeat anthem that celebrates the weird, wonderful chaos of the festive season, with a beat that bounces and a vibe that dares to be different.
But apparently, not everyone is ready for that.

The track was unexpectedly removed from Spotify, with no clear explanation. No warning. No context. Just… gone. And while the reasons remain mysterious, one thing is certain: this song struck a chord. Maybe too hard. Maybe too honest. Maybe too human.

A Festive Song That Doesn’t Pretend

Written in the whirlwind of December, “At Xmas Time, I’m Always High” captures all the highs and lows of the season: the sugar rush, the nostalgia, the exhaustion, the silliness, the joy that feels slightly out of control. It’s not about perfect harmony, it’s about real life. Messy, loud, lovable life.

You will find sleigh bells, hear bold synths, unapologetic lyrics, and, yes, the authentic background sounds of my two kids, adding their spontaneous sparkle to the recording. That wasn’t a studio trick. That was real-life December, captured in one chaotic, beautiful take.

Too Much Holiday Spirit?

Maybe it was the title. Maybe it was the irony. Maybe Spotify just doesn’t like songs that laugh a little too loud. We don’t know. But the takedown only proves one thing: this track matters. And it deserves to live, breathe, and make people smile, far beyond any platform’s approval.

So here it is. Still alive. Still weird. Still high on Christmas.

Bandcamp doesn’t filter joy. Or cheekiness. Or indie honesty.

I didn’t write this song to please an algorithm. I wrote it to smile through the madness of December, to laugh with my kids, to dance barefoot in the wrapping paper, and to remind myself that joy often comes when you let go of perfection.

So go ahead, play it loud. Add it to your non-traditional holiday playlist. Share it with someone who feels a little extra at Christmas too. Let’s keep the indie spirit alive: irreverent, playful, and free.
