Ho, Ho, Oww, Thanks for the help of the Biab soloists- Leftwich, Jarvis & Franklin. Sounds like

a legal firm….

I posted this in a longer version under a different title back in 2013. Happy Holidays to all! Tom

If The Dog Don’t Bite Santa


Santa saw your facebook page and to make your Christmas merry

He’s buying you some brand new clothes and a great big dictionary

Grandma bought some batteries and attached them to a note

Toys are not included and that is all she wrote


If The relatives they start to fight like they have in the past

Put some mistletoe in your back pocket and they can kiss your

Well I guess it’s time to celebrate so pass the Christmas cheer

And if the dog don’t bite Santa we’ll have a Happy Holiday this year


Lights are on the front porch but no snows on the ground

Cause it’s 80 degrees and the wreath we hung is looking mighty brown

Frosty the snowman ain’t gonna melt cause he’s made of styrofoam

Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant :-) Tapped my foot from beginning to end. Lyrics (and their humour) is/are superb, the vocals make it really special, the writing is stellar, the solo mandolin is a great choice ... seriously, BRAVO. Hats off! One of the more pleasant Christmas songs I've heard in a while :-) Merry Christmas!

Tommy, you are on a roll! Saw those names, and had to give this a listen. Cool song. I was going to mention some of my favorite lines, but realized I'd just be reposting the words to the entire song! Creative and funny and a great sound!

Pure genius. All the boxes are checked on this.

What a hoot.

Best Christmas song I've heard in a long time (okay, I usually skip Christmas songs, but you get the idea).

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your lyrics and how you deliver them. Brilliant!

HA! A very original Xmas tune.

Killer tracks. Gorgeous mix.
Nicely sung.

Merry Christmas!

Tommy,

Fun, rockin’ Christmas tune . . . nix mix, too! Cool, holiday vibe—really love that piano in the mix, and a great guitar solo. Wonderful!

Oh, man, this is brilliant, Tom. What a great band. The lyrics are just perfect and the changes are superb and ideal for a Christmas song. A lot of tension building in and the release is such a treat. You're right, that law firm really can jam. The lyrics are all terrific, but this is my favorite line: "Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home." Sounds like a Yogism.

Tommy this is absolute fantastic. Everything is profession.

Loved it.

You definitely put the Merry in Christmas on this song, Tom!
Janice danced around the kitchen listening to this one several times yesterday. wink

“Grandma bought some batteries and attached them to a note
Toys are not included and that is all she wrote”

The above cracked us up. Your song beats Keen’s “Christmas with the Family” as our new favorite.

You’ve got that Western Swing groove down perfectly and we do love it.

FUN! Merry Christmas to you and Benji!

Superb, sort of a Jimmy Buffett vibe among other things.

Hope you had a good Christmas.
