No snow. Too much fog. Nobody can make it to the party. It\u2019s going to be a colorless Christmas, until her man comes through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reminiscing about the day they wrote it, Urban says, \u201cWe started writing in my studio, which I decked out with colored Christmas lights, a tree, tinsel and of course I put the A\/C on arctic, so it was freezing! Shane says to me, \u2018Do you have a piano?\u2019 and I say, \u2019Yeah, but it\u2019s upstairs.\u2019 So, we head upstairs to the living room \u2014 nice and warm and toasty, with no Christmas decorations of any sort. Of course, we end up writing the whole thing there \u2014 go figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fcmt%2Fvideos%2F2159930390979845%2F&amp;show_text=1&amp;width=560\">www.facebook.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1815444\/keith-urban-makes-the-season-bright\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 9m ago In a career stretching back more than two decades, Keith Urban just did something new \u2014 he\u2019s released his first Christmas song and video, \u201cI\u2019ll Be Your Santa Tonight.\u201d He wrote it with Shane McAnally.
