Story behind the song
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was founded in 1996 in New York City by composers Paul O'Neill and Robert Kinkel, and Savatage lead singer Jon Oliva. The group's name is inspired by the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia which Kinkel says connects many cultures otherwise isolated, much like music.
Lyrics
AND SO IT WAS IN FRONT OF THIS HOTEL OUR ANGEL DID FINALLY ARRIVE AND STANDING AT ONE CORNER WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO CAUGHT THE ANGEL’S EYE HE HAD A SMALL GROUP OF CHILDREN GATHERED ROUND HIM THERE WHO ALL WERE QUIETLY LISTENING WHICH FOR CHILDREN IS QUITE RARE HE WAS TELLING THEM CHRISTMAS TALES AND EACH ONE BROUGHT MORE CHILDREN NEAR WHERE THEY NESTLED ROUND HIM ON THOSE STEPS SO EACH WORD THEY COULD CLEARLY HEAR HE THEN TOLD THEM A CHRISTMAS STORY ABOUT HOW ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS AND WHEN THAT STORY HAD ENDED THE CHILDREN CLAMORED FOR ANOTHER “WHERE DOES CHRISTMAS GO WHEN ITS DAY IS THROUGH? WHERE DOES CHRISTMAS GO,” THEY ASKED, “AND WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS DO?” NOW CHILDREN HAVE SUCH SIMPLE REQUESTS THEIR WISHES ARE SO SMALL THAT THE YOUNG MAN SAW NO REASON WHY HE COULD NOT GRANT THEM ALL THEY LIKED HIS STORIES SO MUCH THEY BEGGED HIM NOT TO LET IT END SO HE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE WIZARDS OF WINTER WHOSE WINTER BALL THEY MUST ATTEND HOW THESE WIZARDS DECORATED THEIR WHOLE WORLD WITH ICICLES, FROST AND SNOW AND HOW WITH THE DREAMS OF THIS NIGHT BENEATH IT IT ALL WOULD MAGICALLY START TO GLOW AND THE SNOW SEEMED TO OBEY THE YOUNG MAN’S EVERY GESTURE IN THE COLD DECEMBER’S AIR AND AS FOR THE WIZARDS’ IMPERIAL BALL WELL, THEY WERE ALREADY THERE
