Lucky cat : ) (on the bed) - makes me think of me - I get to listen to my wife singing all day long, non-stop; a wonderful thing.

such a wonderfully eclectic group od songs you are inhabiting for your ukelele advent calendar (the idea itself is pretty advenurous.) this is one of m favorites, perhaps because am not familiar with the song, so your interpretation stands alone for me. but also, it is so generously out of time with the stale playlist of christmas and holiday songs that are regenerated every year.

I remember the melody from school, it’s lovely to hear this again after many years.
