　　這張聖誕專輯非常特別，也是我每年都會拿出來聽的聖誕專輯，有別於其他聖誕專輯營造出的銀白色聖誕假期，這張聖誕專輯可以說是專門為南半球的聖誕節打造的。

　　鄉村天王Keeny Chesney在2003年發行的聖誕專輯"All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan"，光看名稱就知道這是一張非常熱帶感覺的聖誕專輯(還有專輯封面竟然穿著無袖背心啊！)。一般的聖誕專輯給人的感覺就是充滿聖誕鈴聲，營造出冰冷的聖誕氣氛和溫馨的年節氛圍，不過Kenny這張聖誕專輯幾乎可以說是為了讓避寒而到南半球過節的人發行的。
　　從專輯同名歌曲"All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan"就可以體會到在熱帶海灘上吃BBQ一邊聞著烤肉的香味，一邊還有椰林樹影的美麗的黃昏(天啊！我真想到熱帶地區旅遊)。這張專輯裡的聖誕歌曲聽不到傳統聖誕歌的聖誕鈴聲編曲(喔喔，每一首都沒有，真好)，即使連Silent Night的編曲都非常鄉村。如果覺得聖誕專輯有太多不知道要買哪一張的話，建議這一張是可以收藏的喔！

All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan / Kenny Chesney

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
take me to the Islands put my feet in the sand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean.
singin Silent Night with the palm trees ablowin'..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for christmas is a real good tan.

Well, if you're thinkin' bout getting me a present this year,
let me put a bug in your cute little ear,
How bout two tickets to a tropical shore,
where we don't have to wear these winter clothes anymore,
instead of turkey we'll have mahi-mahi grill,
and Pina Coladas in the blender chillin'..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
take me to the Islands put my feet in the sand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean,
singin Silent Night with the palm trees ablowin'..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?(its a real good plan)
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..

Well everybody's praying for a Christmas so white,
come to think about it, that'd be alright,
as long as it's sand and not snow on the ground,
and everyday our skin gets a little more brown,
We'll string some lights in a coconut tree,
I'll rub some oil on you, and you can rub some on me..

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan,
I can see us baby on the beach hand in hand,
rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean..
Baby won't you say you and me we'll be going?
Ooooo, I can almost feel my toes in the sand,(my toes in the sand)
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan..

Don't worry baby, we'll celebrate plenty,
I'll buy you some shades and a brand new bikini..
We won't have to worry about the holiday rush,
it'll be you and me fallin' deeper in love..

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?(its a real good plan)
All I want for christmas is a real good tan..
(a real good tan)

All I want for christmas is a real good tan..
