When you were young d'you ever look upon a globe of snow A perfect world, a christmas scene Inside you'd like to go A simple shake would bring to life A flawless winter sight A pure escape from daily strife the snow comes down so white Well, in our globe a special group of people play and sing They're twitch musicians one and all, come hear them do their thing Christmas Christmas Colab aaaa majiiiig Collabamajig matched by chance to make a tune a brand new seasoned song Time ever ticking by so fast They worked hard and worked long.. The world below them hushed and quiet they gather on the hill, Their melodies embrace the town, give warmth where once was chill The songs play bright, enjoyed by all, with festive Christmas cheer But better yet all proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières Christmas Christmas Colab aaaa majiiiig Collabamajig

Jack Frost nipping at your nose Ugly sweater parties with folks you hardly know Kids singing Silent Night Right next to the pretzels at the shopping mall On a random Tuesday night Used to be so magical Used to be so fun But year after year without you here I’m just trying to get to December 31 Red, green, silver and gold, Sweet smelling pine, fruit cake and wine sleigh-bells and sleds in the snow Stockings hung by the fire It’s beginning to look a lot like that season again No matter how hard I try It used to be so magical It used to be so fun But year after year without you here I’m just trying to get to December 31 Every winter, a stark reminder Of how good it used to be Friends try to help by inviting me out But I don’t think they really see that I don’t need gifts or a mistletoe kiss It’s nothing that they want to hear... but All I want for Christmas is an end to the most wonderful time of the year Darkness falls much faster now The stores are all closed, friends have gone home Nobody else is around Look at the lights all aglow That holiday jingle was always your favorite, Follows wherever I go It used to be so magical It used to be so fun But year after year without you here I’m just trying to get through December 31 I’m just trying to get through December 31

I used to love this time of year All the laughter and chatting around But the years went by and soon you weren't here And now this room makes no sound I close my eyes and I can see you there In the lights on and the rocking chair When I breathe in I can still smell the scent Of every year together that we spent I want this Christmas to be More than just me... Cause I can't have this Christmas without you Can't believe that it's been so long The Christmas bells ring out of tune Is this the year where I right this wrongs To bring you back for Christmas soon? If you were I'm sure it would be the same As it was before we went our own ways And if I could, I would go back And tell myself to cherish those days This has to be the year I see you again Can't you just imagine the joy it'll bring? I'll save a spot for you next to the Christmas tree I'll see you there I'll see you there this Christmas... I know I might be asking too much But maybe there's a chance, you see That the festivities began as such With my loving family I want this Christmas to be More than just me... Cause I can't have this Christmas without you I want this Christmas to be More than just me... Cause I can't have this Christmas without you I want this Christmas to be You.....and.....me...... Cause I can't have this Christmas without you

Grew up raisin’ Christmas Trees my dad, my brother and me. In the end we’d cut ‘em all down, And sell ‘em for a little fee You think it’s so charmin’ Christmas Tree farmin’ It didn’t seem that way to me I was a Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’ All I wanted was to cop some ‘Z’s. White Pines, Red Pines, mainly Scotch Pines Spruces: White, mainly Blue & Firs: Douglas, Frasers, Balsams, Concolors In rows so straight and true In summer we’d swing our machetes in the hot June and July sun Hackin’ all the new growth back A haircut for every one. It ain’t all that charmin’ that Christmas Tree farmin’ At least It wern’t that way for me I was Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’ I’d rather a boat on the sea Come fall we’d walk amongst the trees Take a look at every one. The best got a stapled tag on his branch that said he’d get cut down. And then we ran that baler, & wrapped em up real tight And loaded ‘em up on big old trucks Until we could call it a night You might think it’s charmin’ to be Christmas Tree farmin’ Didn’t seem that way to me I was Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’ All down to my nobby knees. We’d follow our own semi, haulin’ trees down south four guys in a twenty foot trailer, living hand to mouth We’d sell those trees til Christmas Eve & finally our work was done Drive three hundred miles back north on our Christmas midnight run. You might think it’s charmin’ to be Christmas Tree farmin’ It didn’t work that way for me I was a Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’ But finally we got some sleep The house shines bright with a glow in your eyes, as the tree lights up so fine, It's enough to make me forget my work, and enjoy this Christmas time

let’s bring it back, christmas in the 80s all i want is underneath the tree i hope it’s a light bright, maybe a light saber i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later the night was cold, i walked home from school all alone the snow fell, i thought about my friends, they were talking up all the things they got, GI Joe and Barbie and a rubik’s cube. Could that be true? christmas in the 80s all i want is underneath the tree i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later the holidays can make us feel alone and the good times, sometimes, feel so unknown and all we’ve got are these memories, deep inside feeling like they’re trapped in 1985 christmas in the 80s all i want is underneath the tree i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later Light saber spirograph lava lamp casio slinkey battleship speak and spell christmas in the 80s all i want is underneath the tree i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later

I guess that makes a year It passed so quickly Wonder was I really there Or was I sleep walking I haven't seen you since We went our separate ways If time can heal all wounds Then maybe pain is just a phase This winter air is killing me it chills me to the bone I have a drawer filled with your things and I still can't let them go I guess that makes a year Since I’d last seen your face I’d like to say the pain is gone And on to the next phase I hate playing cold But crying’s getting old I sometimes ask myself “if only…” I feel lonely… This winter air is killing me it chills me to the bone I have a drawer filled with your things and I still can't let them go swirling shapes of ice and stone I'm lost out in this storm If help should come to save me now It'd still be you that keeps me warm The headlights spark and swallow me I'm the unsuspecting deer I'm overwhelmed by circumstance realize my deepest fear as the tires squeal to save my skin i stand there in a daze Am I being punished for my sins or is this some form of grace Well I heard some people say That nothing gold can stay But you'll never quite be gone Once I write you in this song I'll never say another word a lie could not be more absurd I'll move along as you suggest and sew my heart back in my chest connect the veins where they belong pump the blood and eat this song something sad and bitter sweet getting stuck between my teeth Why do I feel so lonely (When I'm not sorry) so pour my heart on frozen ground The snow will melt away reveal the grass there beneath my feet Let's me know I'll be okay

Dear Santa I am writing sincerely to you, I hope this gets delivered before the year is new, I’m not saying I’ve been perfect but I don’t know what to do…. Cause naughty kids deser-ve Christmas, too! I’ve pranked my sister, my brother, Aunt Edma and Aunt Lou, I’ve snuck into the nextdoor attic To scare the neighbors, too I try to be good but what else can I do? Cause naughty kids deserve christmas too! I’d like to have a say in what the government will do, I want a full sized roller coaster, Who am I kidding? Make it two! I try to be so heccin’ good but what else can i do Cause naughty kids deserve christmas too I throttled this dumb kid, Cause he wouldn’t leave me alone, Could one of this year’s presents Be the next iphone? As the season nears, I’ve thought “What would Santa do?” But then I realized, you would beat him up, too! I’ve done this– I’ve done that— Yes, I’ve even done the worst of things, don’t you even dare to ask! I saw the TikTok of your fight, And I totally can relate, That Andy had it coming, That kid spews nicknames that I hate, I recall when I was your age, Before I donned the red, Danny Lucco called me a fatty…. So I punched him the head You punched him in the head?! So I punched him in the head So remember every Christmas when the silver bells all chime, Standing up to that one bully, isn’t quite a crime After all the year’s transgressions, and all the sins accrew Naughty Kids Need Christmas Naughty Kids Need Christmas Naughty Kids Need Christmas Naughty Kids Need a Christmas, too

Feels like summer’s barely gone The way the seasons can fool you My eyes are tired and my hands are numb And I've got a hundred things to do I pull onto the street and look at the lights Spilling red and gold on the ground I take in a breath of cold dark night And I know that winter’s come around I push the door and I’m home The fire burns low And we’ve got no place else we have to go The wind coming down The streets of this town Brings in the smell of snow and I know That everything changes and maybe one year The snow won’t fall no more But right now I’m safe here All the busyness falls away I’m in a festive chrysalis Nothing to do but live out the day That’s the gift of the solstice So put up your feet and look at the lights Spilling red and gold on your skin Short cold days and long dark nights I take a breath and I settle in I’m here and I’m home The light’s getting low And we’ve got no place else we have to go The wind coming down The streets of this town Brings in the smell of snow and I know That everything changes and we change too But right now I’m here With you

Sleeping trees in the meadow Missing the birds from ages ago Chiming bells in the distance Calling the wind for another dance I wish you could be by my side I will think of you tonight I will send you light from my mind To make sure your stars keep shining bright Shining bright I would call on the woods To melt the snow if I could Warm your hands by the fire Till the sun comes back to your sky I wish you could be by my side I will think of you tonight I will send you light from my mind To make sure your stars keep shining bright Shining bright

Silent snow is so softly falling And I'm walking back home Alone My hands are cold And the moonlight is darker ‘Cause you're not with me here anymore It's been years since you left But I still can't forget The way your love made me feel Now, alone as I am Alone, alone And down on my knees Again, a light over me You're the only light I need I was a ghost before You stood outside my door Flowers and wine in your hand Laughed all around the fire You brought me back to life So why did I ever let you go? Now when December comes The dark overtakes the sun I wonder where you are now Oh now (now) now (now) Now, alone as I am Alone, alone And down on my knees Again, a light over me You're the only light I need

That joyful time of year Or so it used to be But now it seems that joy Has long forgot me... Beneath the starry sky the cold wind hits my face reminding me of memories that used to warm this place The crackling of the fire Lights gleaming on the tree The scent of pine, an empty chair That's all that's left for me I can't fake one more smile These feelings last a while I know they only want me to be happy But please don’t make me say Happy Holiday In the distance, they may be But their love's still here with me Through the cold and lonely night I find solace in the starry light I can't fake one more smile These feelings last a while I know they only want me to be happy But please don’t make me say Happy Holiday I can't fake one more smile These feelings last a while I know they only want me to be happy But please don’t make me say Happy Holiday That joyful time of year Or so it used to be But now it seems that joy Has long forgot me...

How do you know When you’ve done all that you can? How does it feel When it hurts to breathe again If you’re in the dark and wandering Take a step outside Close your eyes And look up to the sky Let it snow While the world is fast asleep Let it go All the worry that you keep Let the quiet of the winter weather Echo through the night Let it quiet your mind Let it snow How can you tell if you're ready to begin How do you know if your heart can sing again If you’re in the dark and wandering In the midnight air Close your eyes The magic will be there Let it snow While the world is fast asleep Let it go All the worries that you keep Let the quiet of the winter weather Echo through the night Let it quiet your mind Let it snow Let it snow While the world is fast asleep Let it go All the worries that you keep Let the quiet of the winter weather Echo through the night Let it quiet your mind Let it snow Let it quiet your mind Let it snow Let it quiet your mind Let it snow

Now it’s time to slow it down Have you ever walked in winter snow Wrap all the presents, enjoy yourself Sing to the radio Play with toys you’re way too old for And decorate a tree Finally take the break you need And share the memories. Even though you've had enough I know it's been a little rough And these last days are hard to bare We are almost there Let's take the short way home We've been away for far too long The precious moments we can share We are almost there What If I’m too broke to afford the gifts I’d love to give Stuck and exhausted in december rush Just trying to make ends meet Sometimes life isn’t like the movies And these darker days tend to get me down Despite all the lights in the street. Even the music can be bittersweet These moments they still feel too hard to reach Give me a chance Let’s make this tune our own I promise we will find our way back home Maybe this could be the year, You’ll be singing christmas almost here Even though you've had enough I know it's been a little rough And these last days are hard to bare We are almost there Let's take the short way home We've been away for far too long The precious moments we can share We are almost there

I’ll hang the garland and trim the tree The white string lights glowing softly Place ornaments from years behind Back from when you were my Christmastime The light’s went out I’m left in the dark Snowflakes chill this empty heart I look for my North Star and wish to rewind Back to when you were my Christmastime Every December I’d look forward to Lighting this candle next to you Watching the flame flicker so bright Burning forever with no end in sight Another year, another December I search for the candle we’d light together The memory of its warmth fills my mind Just as when you were my christmas time Every December I’d look forward to Lighting this candle next to you Watching the flame flicker so bright Burning forever with no end in sight But maybe this magic can still live and inspire I’ll take my candle and share it’s fire Showing the world a love so bright It sparks all month till Christmas night Every December I’ll look forward to Lighting this candle because of you I’ll watch the flame flicker so bright Burning forever with no end in sight

I’ve been waiting For this time of year So dark and bright It’s cold outside But I feel warm When anyplace can feel like home Ahh ohh Ahh ohh I've been thinking at this time of year Postcards, winter nights take me back in time now I am home and I don’t feel so alone Merry Christmas from us all May the new year bring you all you dream of while the chill of winter slowly melts away Take another day another day Slowly melt away it melts away I’ve been wondering do you feel it in the air? Seasons changing now every time I go outside the Christmas lights Make me feel warm inside Merry Christmas from us all May the new year bring you all you dream of while the chill of winter slowly melts away Take another day another day Slowly melt away it melts away I’ve been waiting for this time of year Postcards, Winter nights take me back in time But I feel warm, Not so alone When any place can feel like home Merry Christmas from us all May the new year bring you all you dream of while the chill of winter slowly melts away Take another day another day This time of year Slowly melt away it melts away This time of year

I’ll be alone this Christmas, It almost was my choice, Stuck at home this Christmas, I might as well rejoice. I won’t miss the London traffic, And I won’t miss the lights, Mister Frost can’t hurt me, But the mistletoe just might, So I’ll stay away from Holly, And bundle up real tight, And celebrate Christmas alone. I’ll make myself a snowman, If I need company. He’ll appreciate my cooking, And he’ll maybe talk to me. We’ll make plans for our children, And places we’ll all go, And the fantasy will melt with the snow. I’m by myself this Christmas, (chuckle) That’s more gingerbread for me. Mmmmm (chuckle) No one else this Christmas, Why bother trimming the tree? I’ll hang a single stocking, And I'll fill it on my own. I’ll somehow stop Checking my phone. I won’t believe in spirits As the rafters groan, And I celebrate Christmas alone. I’ll be alone this Christmas, For the first time in a while. Ooooh But at least this Christmas, I won’t need to fake a smile. Ooooh mmmm

Now it’s coming around again, our favourite time of year. In times gone by, we came together in festive cheer Little ones wrapped up in bed, lights fade as darkness falls, and mum and dad ready themselves, to prepare for it all… It’s mistletoe, cold and snow, the grinch and elf on video, mince in pies, family ties, Christmas trees, shining lights, jingle bells, santa baby, turkey, gravy, gingerbread, games and sweets, and a cracker each. There’s office parties, filling stockings, Christmas carol singers knocking, let it snow, present bows, hot cocoa, snowball fights, silent night, roaring fires, candle lights. It’s Go! Go! Go! Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s Nöel Here it comes, once again, we raise a glass, we eat too much. Home Alone and Mr Scrooge. Kids lie in bed, with one eye open. For the next day, presents waiting under the tree. Unwrap them all, toss them on, and then it's over... It’s mistletoe, cold and snow, the grinch and elf on video, mince in pies, family ties, Christmas trees, shining lights, jingle bells, santa baby, turkey, gravy, gingerbread, games and sweets, and a cracker each. There’s office parties, filling stockings, Christmas carol singers knocking, let it snow, present bows, hot cocoa, snowball fights, silent night, roaring fires, candle lights. It’s Go! Go! Go! Ho!

Woke up without snow today But still cold for LA The Coffee in the kitchen Is calling out my name hour it will take to drive 5 miles in this rain The boring obligations that they call a holiday No, I don’t need no Santa Claus No fancy gifts from Amazon Don’t care about the things I lack I’m happy without all of that So keep your shiny, pricey things My joy comes from this song I sing… Christmas is overrated Christmas is overrated Don’t wanna do my makeup But I’ll do it anyway The most wonderful time of year Is such a chore for me Now I’m stuck inside this parking lot they like to call a freeway Miss me with that noise, it’s causing clutter in my brain No, I don’t need no Santa Claus No fancy gifts from Amazon Don’t care about the things I lack I’m happy without all of that So keep your shiny, pricey things My joy comes from this song I sing… Christmas is overrated Christmas is overrated I just want to be home With my cat With my hair undone On the couch Bundled up In an ugly blanket Is that too much to ask? Is that too much to ask? ‘Cause, I don’t need no Santa Claus No fancy gifts from Amazon Don’t care about the things I lack I’m happy without all of that So keep your shiny, pricey things My joy comes from this song I sing… Christmas is overrated Christmas is overrated No, I don’t need no Santa Claus No fancy gifts or fake applause For things that I don’t care about Ideals I could live without Don’t care for fame, don’t need the clout If that’s your game, have fun, I’m out Christmas is overrated Christmas is overrated Christmas is overrated

I've been walking the same road I've been carrying the same hope Someone will walk down the same road as me home I just wanna feel love this season I just want something to believe in it's been an uphill battle all year can someone take it from here But I keep on forgetting That I live in this body And no one can hold me quite like I do I been fighting my battles Finding hope in the shadows Seeing joy in all the snow covered trees I'm giving my love this Christmas to me I’m giving my love this Christmas to me But where did the year go Why am I sad now the wind blows? I’m swept up in all of these doubts As I stare out the window Watching sparkling lights glow Trynna to save myself from burning out I'm giving my love this Christmas to me I’m giving my love this Christmas to me I should be laughing when no ones around I should wearing my own paper crown I should wrapping the gifts that i found for myself I should be putting the star on the tree Lighting the candles I got just for me Finding the time in this space just for me that I need I’m giving my love this Christmas I’m loving myself this Christmas I’m finding myself this Christmas I’m giving my love this Christmas to me I’m giving my love this Christmas to me I’m giving my love this Christmas to me I’m giving my love this Christmas to me

Snow falls, covers all the trees around us Quietly, inside; our hands clasped by the fireplace On our walls, the pictures of the life we’ve built they are Memories (they bring a) sense of peace; frozen in time Way down memory lane / we take a stroll and see Who we were and grew to be, looking back it makes me Sway now, recollecting dancing by the tree On Christmas Eve, all was calm / all was bright All the lights shining bright all around the town Children sing in angels’ wings while snow is falling down All the things the season brings; with you they’re much better now You are all I need this Christmas Eve Come now, let’s make snow angels then we’ll figure skate Around the lake, might even take some time to just unwind We’ve found; our special place in making Christmas time Feel safe and sound; no one around just you and I You feel, like home my sweet, the things you do for me (They bring a) sense of ease, like I can just let go / not worry so We’ll fall asleep; under the stars this gorgeous winter night Serenity; the silence brings a restful peace All the lights shining bright all around the town Children sing in angels’ wings while snow is falling down All the things the season brings; with you they’re much better now You are all I need this Christmas Eve

Loud thoughts in my head Quiet when snowflakes are Falling Falling Can you repeat that? I wasn't listening Sorry Sorry Focus keep silent You’re moving too much Stop with the stimming, it's weird You're embarrassing us If I don't behave I'll get Coal in my stocking I'm trying Trying I smile and I chuckle But deep down I know that I'm Lying Lying They say I’m ungrateful While hovering over My Body My Body He breathes in my face As he asks me if I have been Naughty Naughty Hug them they love you Stop making a fuss But the sounds and the smells and the people are hurting too much I fill my plate with the Food that all day I've been Craving Craving Try the green beans Your auntie worked so hard To Make it Just taste it Can my joy and comfort Be something you value as much As the look on her face when I bite down And you hear a crunch Please excuse me I'm in the bedroom to Silence my senses Hiding Hiding A book under covers I'm cozy and safe Finally Finally Footsteps and engines And now they’re all gone Loud thoughts in my head Quiet when snowflakes are Falling Falling

Burrow and hold, in your meadow of snow We face the cold, blinding bold Stories of our own, woven and told They keep us warm When winter’s born When winter’s born When winter… Sheltered away on shortest days They flutter and play, a crystal ballet Settle in to stay when winds give chase Weighted by snow Of winter’s storms Of winter’s storms Of winter…
