Hard Conversations
01:46

The presents are opened..
The eggnog's been poured...
We’ve all got our phones out
Coz we’re stuffed and we’re bored
But the fun of the evening has not yet commenced
It’s time we reached over this familial fence
(cause) Christmas is a time for hard conversations,
for sitting down together
and speaking from the heart
We may not vote the same
but we share a last name
Basic Human Rights
is a lovely place to start
We don’t have to agree on the
ham or the prune cake,
but one thing must be true
...that no matter where I'm from,
who I am or who I love
I deserve the same freedoms as you
Its a privilege
to avoid a conversation
and this conversation is
with someone who cares
Its high time we learned to
sit in our discomfort
cause holidays shouldn’t end
in empty chairs
Christmas is a time for hard conversations
For finding one and one
still do make two
It only takes an open mind,
A little love, a little time
There’s still a lot
a heart to heart can do
What is family?
It’s up to me and you.

There’s a new dance sweepin’ the Ol’ North Pole
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
Mrs. Clause and the elves are all outta control
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
Stomp your feet! Grab the toys!
Spread around the love and the joy
Clap it up and make some noise….
Its the Yule Hall Stomp!
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
The Yule Hall Stomp
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
They’re dancing in the streets and the drug store too
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
Yea, you just can’t stop when the stomp rolls thru
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
Sleigh Bells Ring! Hear the sound!
Send good cheer all over town!
Clap it up and break it down!
For the Yule Hall Stomp
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
The Yule Hall Stomp
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
When the snow is tumbling down outside
And there’s just no where to go
Go on and fill your cup
Turn the radio up
and let the season move your soul
and do the Yule Haul stomp
(oh yea, its the Yule Hall Stomp!)
Its a sweet little bop for the young and the old
Yea the Yule Hall Stomp Blows away the cold
Stomp your feet! Flap your wings
Ring your bells, Jing a ling dong ding
Clap it up and make the winter sing
Its the Yule Hall Stomp!
The snow isn’t movin...
We might as well start groovin

A Wish

Deck the Halls-
Haul out the Holly
Fill up your hearts with
Friendship and Folly
Time to be Merry
Yeah, tis the season
But my heart is searching
For a sensible reason
Why you're not around
and why I’m still so low, im drowning
Don’t know up from down
without your smile- its true
But Merry Christmas from someone who loves you
Joy to the world and
Peace on earth forever
Lets raise a glass
and hope it all gets a little better
The fresh fallen snow
on the rooftops is glistening
but my spirit sinks
when I think of who’s missing
and why you’re so far away
and why I’m still just praying I’ll hear from you
Don’t know then from now
without your smile- its true
But Merry Christmas from someone who loves you
I’ve cried a river
and its frozen over
but this winter feels like
it'll be here forever
And I thought I’d let it go
I thought I knew how to set down
the sadness and laugh
still at Christmas I can’t help
but wish you’d come back
So I’ll make a wish
Tonight at the window
on a bright star That looks like
the gleam of your eyes
and I’ll send some light
through the cold
through the distance
to remind you,
somewhere out there,
someone's missing you
Tonight

First Single Christmas

|

The snow is falling on the street below
All dressed up and nowhere to go
The clock is ticking and my glass is full
Its the best freaking Christmas Eve
Brand new dress and some jingle bell shoes
little elf hat now i’m over those blues
All the hallmark movies, and I just can’t choose
I guess I’ll eat some shredded cheese
Its my first Single Christmas
Since my first Christmas with you
I’m all by myself, watching Elf
Doo doo doo doo doo doo dodooo doo
Cookies and eggnog all night long
Warm Ugg Knockoffs and some holiday songs
Dancing to Mariah in the Christmas Thong
Its the best freakin Christmas eve
Credit cards are maxed out with gifts for me
There’s an amazon fortress under my tree
Handsome guy at the door-who could that be?
My GrubHub Delivery!
Its my first Single Christmas
Since my first Christmas with you
Its only 7 bucks for Disney Plus
Doo doo doo doo doo doo dodooo doo
All the old movies tell you that you shouldn’t spend Christmas alone
But this year I don’t need your love, I’m doin’ just fine on my own
Its my first Single Christmas
Since my last Christmas with you
I’ve got fuzzy socks, bagels and lox
I’ve got two great cats, imagine that
I don’t need you here to find holiday cheer
Doo doo doo doo doo doo dodooo doo

Quiet Year
03:13
|
|

|
We’ve got candlelight and mistletoe
Sweet music in our ears
and It’s only just the few of us
Yea, It’s been a quiet year
When i think back to the springtime
My head begins to spin...
It’s a December to remember where we’ve been
Chorus:
We’ve had a long hard year
But we made it here
We’ve come a long hard way
To where we can sit and breathe and say
We have this night and we have this love
And that is enough
We’ve got good food and company
String lights and kitten friends
We’ve got warm gloves for chilly walks
To the store and home again
Thinking back on a busy, dizzying wintertime
Well, This one is not
(but) It’s a December to be glad for what we’ve got
Repeat Chorus
So, Count up your gratitudes,
press them close to you
It’s been a mess just getting thru, but we’re doin’ it!
So raise a glass and sing along
Cheers to the year it all went wrong
But if Home is where the heart is
This home is stronger
We’ve got tinsel wrapped integrity
And popcorn on a string
We’ve got friends that melt the cold away
So we’ve got everything
