Time", please welcome my friend Macklemore.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - MACKLEMORE, "IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME"]
Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time.
Couldn't go bed that night.
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway.
Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy ass family.
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh.
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again.
Now fill up the gas in the SUV.
He spent way too much time tryna pick out our tree.
The ceiling ain't as tall as we thought, I see.
Gotta cut a couple inches off the top to proceed.
And now we stringing the lights up.
Five hours later, we stringing the lights up.
Listening to Bing Crosby by the fire.
Frank Sinatra.
Nat King Cole, Mariah.
Turn off that Michael Bublé.
Turn on that one movie about the kid who licked the telephone
pole on the Blu-ray.
Red Ryder BB guns, stayin' up all night.
Jimmy Stewart, It's a Wonderful Life, now am I right?
The collar's puffy, the beard is long.
The belly's tubby, but the reindeer are strong.
It's Santa Claus.
And it's Christmas time.
Let's go!
Oh, wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time.
Wouldn't go to bed that night.
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway.
Under the lit-up Christmas tree, with my crazy ass family.
Singing oh, oh oh, oh.
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again.
I wrapped presents like a kid wearing mittens.
Blindfolded, with a pair of left-handed scissors.
Janky, but the gift inside?
Ridiculous.
Better than whatever it is you had on your wishlist.
Dig in, then whip up the BizQuick.
Go outside, then throw 'round the pig skin.
Dad now, but still feel like a big kid.
Best time of year, can I get a amen?
Amen!
The Almond Roca, the hottest cocoa.
That track around the tree with the locomotives.
I wanted the Jordan poster to measure my growth spurt.
Starter logo, Georgetown Hoyas.
I'm going off of the head, y'all.
Homemade cookies that I dip in the eggnog.
I wanna take a second and shout out my dead dog.
Toby, he's dead.
Oh, wish it was '99 when I was a kid at Christmas time.
Wouldn't go to bed that night.
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway.
Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy ass family.
Sing it.
Oh, oh oh, oh.
Wish I was a kid.
Ellen!
Oh, wish it was '99 when I was a kid at Christmas time.
Couldn't go to bed that night.
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway.
Under the lit-up Christmas tree with my crazy ass family.
Singing oh, oh, oh oh, oh.
Wish I was a kid at Christmas.
Oh, oh oh, oh, Wish I was a kid at Christmas again.
It's Christmas time!
Happy holidays.
[APPLAUSE]

Oh my God, thank you so much!
