Well I thought I would join in with contributing a Christmas song. I'm excited about this one, because I was able to coerce my wife into singing with me on it. (Although she sings with me all the time, I think it is easier to get a personal phone call with the queen of England than it is to get Rachel to slow down enough to stand in front of a mic in my little studio and sing!)

The instruments are RT's/RD's, and I threw in some organ, percussion, chimes and bells. Hope you enjoy this!

It's Christmas Time (My Favorite Time Of Year)
© Stephen W. Young

The frost is on the ground, and the days grow short
And the children dream out loud of all they're hoping for
And the embers in the fireplace are crackling as tender as a prayer
There's a sound of carols ringing in the air

And it's Christmas time, my favorite time of year
When the meaning of this life becomes so clear
And the angels sing, the hosts of heaven
Rejoice before the throne
'Cause in Bethlehem, the Savior has been born

I love to hear the laughter in the afternoon
When the smells of a home cooked dinner fill the room
And the mistletoe starts working, and love is flowing in the air
And the joy of Christmas time is everywhere

And it's Christmas time, my favorite time of year
When the meaning of this life becomes so clear
And the angels sing, the hosts of heaven
Rejoice before the throne
'Cause in Bethlehem, the Savior has been born

Here are the RT's/RD's...
