LYRICS
Please listen to this
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Clearly, a very merry Christmas
Winter solstice bliss
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Hold dearly this very merry Christmas
In the tale
Peace will prevail
In “The End”
The message we send
Grand total
Peace for all
In “The End”
Peaceful

As you’re passing pass
“Merry Christmas”?
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
Query: a very merry Christmas
Let’s say everyday
“Merry Christmas!”
Here’s wishing you a very merry Christmas
And did you hear
… a “Happy New Year!”

December Snow

So, you know…
When we witness the Lord sow snow
See a glimpse of beauty
Ohhhh…
Snow
Turn the dark to bright
Absorb the sound
Reflect the light
Peace is found
Clinging tight
So, Lord, sow snow!
Ohhh….
Snow
Looking back at my track
Into the virgin snow I go
So, Lord, sow snow
Ohhh…
Snow
Let the crystals flow
Ohhh…

Hush now baby
Don’t cry
Shhh… don’t make a peep
Night of safety
Kissed by
An angel as you sleep
Hush now baby
Night of safety
Hush now baby
Night of save-ty
Save me!

Hush now Mama
Don’t cry
Shhh… no need to weep
Night of karma
Kissed by
An angel as you sleep
Hush now Mama
Life’s a drama
Hush now Mama
Free from trauma
Tragedy…
Or, comedy?

LYRICS
Can’t wait ’til the fill
Of the chlorophyll
Makes it colorful

Dread the leaves
Turning brown… then, dead
The drab attire of the tree
Starts to get to me

Waiting for the neutral Fall
To turn wonderful
In the Spring
Hatching the amazing

All hail Mother Nature
For she’s sure
To bring green
To our grayscale scene
Hail the Queen!

LYRICS
If it’s redundant
To savor the flavor
Then, so…? Let it be done!
Please don’t let the taste
Go to waste
Making haste of leaving
Nothing to waste

Holiday pundit
“To savor the flavor”
Let’s go! Let it be done

Could you’ve meant
Flavor the savor?
I don’t know… can it be done?

A redundant chant:
“Savor the flavor!”

LYRICS
Drink from the angel well

The more you put into it
The more you can get
The more you get
The more you can give
The more you give
The better “the live”
What’s it take to initiate?
Given the livin’
Lovin’ the givin’
Givin’ the lovin’
Is a given

The more you can take
Before you break
The more you can break
From harsh intake
The more you deflect
What’s incorrect
The more intake
To facilitate
Given the livin’
Lovin’ the givin’
Givin’ the lovin’
Is a given

You fit the angel well

LYRICS
The cooks are in the kitchen
Smells like it won’t be too long
The scent gets me itchin’
For a savory holiday song

Takin’ a trip down memory lane
Do you want to remain
Or come along?

I feel that appetite
And, it’s coming on strong
Gonna try with all my might
Temptation don’t steer me wrong

(chorus)

What dish do you fancy
Something we have or you brought along
Maybe turkey with gravy
Dilute with moonshine… we all belong

(chorus)

From the heart
It’s coming through true
From the soul impart
The “thank you” you are do!

Christmas Candle Light

LYRICS
There’s a way
A cold day
Gets the season
Underway
Then, the glow
Sunshine in the window
Participant in the radiant
With warmth, come to know

The leaves left
Leaving in the light
Shadow’s theft
Looming is the night
Afterglow
Lighting candles in a row
Participant in the radiant
With warmth come to know

If time must transpire
Might as well, light a fire
Participants in the radiance
If time must transpire
By the light of the fire
By a candle light’s glow
With warmth come to know

LYRICS
The candle is burning
As our hearts are yearning
From both ends
Godspeed to learning
Combine with some smiling
The spirit mends
Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why

Survival of the fittest
The human race’s race quest
Hard to digest
Self-preservation
Situation frustration
Really for the best…
Is it really for the best?

Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why

What is on your Christmas wish list?

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to give a hand
To your fellow man?
You can!
Would you like to join the band
I’m your man
You can!

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to rehabilitate

Would you like to join the band

Get up in arms

We can all bear peace
May music sooth our souls
Before the bell tolls

Little lamb
That’s who I am
If you assume wolf’s costume
Then it may accrue you
To think… and think, again

Little lamb…
That who you are?
I wouldn’t go so far
As to mock God’s flock
So please…
Think and think, again

Have you heard
The lamb’s shepherd
To the light
Keeping watch over night
From: the little lamb
Thank you and thanks again

LYRICS
The temperature dropped about 20 degrees
Won’t be long before a freeze

The children jump for joy
Every last girl and boy
The children jump for joy
… for joy!

There’s a chill I’ve come to know
Right before it’s ready to snow

The scent of pine fills the air
Signaling the season is there

Holly and mistletoe
All the stocking hanging in a row

Mouth watering turkey
Mash potatoes and gravy!

Good tiding we send
Another year’s glorious end

This is the season
For another one to begin
