Earth, Wind & Fire – December (Official Video)

“December” is a song by the American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire, and it’s a self-cover version of their massive 1978 hit “September.” It was included on their 2014 Christmas album Holiday.

The original “September” lyrics reminisce in December about events from September, but for “December” they were rewritten to focus more on Christmas.

It’s an up-tempo, high-energy dance track that was huge in discos, making it a perfect song for enjoying the winter season!
