Christmas Potpourri
01:03
|
|||
|
A hint of pine
A hint of berry
And I am feeling
Very merry
It is time for
Christmas potpourri
I’m traveling back
To race car tracks
A year when I was
Much less hairy
It’s a sentimental
Memory
I walk into a room
Take a whiff and then:
Zoom!
I’m traveling back
To that Chipmunk soundtrack
It’s hardly arbitrary
It is time for
Christmas potpourri
It’s a sentimental
Memory

Learn From The Snowman

Learn from the snowman
Who may only last one day
But it’s a day
That’s filled with smiles
And uninterrupted play
Learn from the snowman
Who dropped down from the sky
That children’s hands
Have gathered up
And gave the day a reason why
Because even a day that’s frosty
Can be filled
With the warmth of love
And all the greatest gifts
Are given from above
Learn from the snowman
Here one day and gone the next
There’s a magic in this world
So stop and pay respects

Christmastime Reflection
01:52
|
|||
|
Christmas time is a season
Not only of rejoicing
But of reflection
The grace of God
In a world bent on
hatred and rejection
The fragility, the endurance
Of the human spirit
The hope of humanity
When you only fear it
The fresh beginning before
An arduous journey
The things that are worth
More than money
How the maker of the universe
Can start so small
Until his enduring goodness
Has blessed us all

Staying Inside
00:44
|
|||
|
Jingle bells
This cold wind tells
Of snowing on the way
And since I’ve got
This beat up car
Instead of a sleigh
I’ll stay inside
And try to start
A warm and cozy fire
Read a book
And drink cocoa
Listen to a Christmas choir
(We wish you
A merry Christmas...)

We went into the forest
Level and axe in hand
Looking for the very best
Christmas tree in the land
We found one so majestic
Almost ten feet tall
Carried it on our sturdy backs
But it was quite the haul
CHORUS
The woods are full of spirits
The woods are full of eyes
So if you take it home with you
It should be no surprise
We put it in the living room
We found the perfect place
Decorated it with ornaments
With popcorn and with lace
We looked at our brilliant Christmas tree
But found something looking back
Two big glowing circles
Of yellow and of black
CHORUS
It turned out we had a woodland pet
A northern white-faced owl
It didn’t seem upset with us
But wasn’t quite a pal
We just wanted to deck the halls
It’s the holiday syndrome
But we didn’t think in doing so
We’d bring a spirit home
CHORUS

Advent Chocolate
01:45
|
|||
|
They say keep Christmas in your heart
Every day of the year
Well the advent calendar's 25
They say good Will towards men
And be of good cheer
Be patient
As long as your alive, but
CHORUS
I ate all the advent chocolate
In one day
I’m just a little ashamed to say
If you’re the praying type
Maybe for me you could pray
I only lasted one day
They say there’s 12 days of Christmas
That’s eleven more than one
They even gave five golden rings
It’s a pretty clever way
To stretch out the fun
I’d be so thoughtful
But here’s the thing
CHORUS

Hark
01:03
|
|||
|
Though the night’s so dark
Hear the angels
Singing hark!
Every darkness
Is followed by the morn
On which a child of promise
Is born
May every night
Be like a Christmas Eve
Where like a child
You simply believe
|

The story goes
That Christmas Day
Is when God became a man
For one who seems
So far away
It was a pretty clever plan
Welcome to the human race
Where there’s grudges
And there’s grace
Sadness and euphoria
And each person
Has a story
The story surrounding Christmas
Was one of miracles and drama
But one where the
Sacred gift of life
Is more powerful than trauma
Welcome to the human race
Where there’s rest
And where there’s chase
Death and new beginnings
Where love is stronger
Than any sinning
Welcome to the human race
Where there’s hatred
And embrace
Hope that’s stronger
Than the grave
That’s why they say
He gave

Christmas morning when I was young
Was a bit of a paper whirlwind
Pour our stockings on the floor
Batteries, candy, enamel pins
For a couple of hours we exchanged
Presents and then pleasantries
But after all the days of hype
After all the pageantry
CHORUS
Christmas was pretty chill
Like a cherry tree upon a hill
Like a lazy leaning daffodil
Nowhere to spend our Christmas bills
Pajamas all day
Our bellies filled
Taking in all that good will
Yes, Christmas was pretty
Christmas was pretty chill
Christmas evening didn’t come
With turkey or with pumpkin pie
We didn’t change into 3-piece suits
Ironed slacks or Christmas ties
We played our music, our video games
Until we finally dozed to sleep
My parents were the coolest then
These are the memories that I keep
CHORUS
