Hello and Happy Holidays Forum friends!! I have always loved Christmas songs and the season in general. To me, the beginning of school in the Fall (for those of that age) and Christmas season are the 2 times of the year that really connect a person to the past. I have so many memories of Christmases with family and friends, and hearing the songs (particularly Nat King Cole, Sinatra, and Happy Christmas by John Lennon) bring back those wonderful and care free days. Although I love the religious songs (Silent night, etc.), I tend to lean toward the standards of the 50's era. This is one of those songs. Hope you like it! I treasure your feedback. Take care, and Merry Christmas all! Greg

Christmas Lights

Christmas lights, on those stormy nights
Help to keep my spirit bright
And I like to call, when snow starts to fall
Just to make sure you’re alright
And I count the days, in my weary haze
Until we meet again
But the Christmas lights keep me goin’
Until then

Christmas time always has a shine
Brings a warmth into my heart
And, the great surprise, in the children’s eyes
Guess that’s still my favorite part
And it’s understood, peace and brotherhood
Are the joys the season brings
With each jingling bell
An angel gets their wings

Ebenezer gets to save his soul
George Bailey’s friends come through
And I can’t wait to share it all with you

The fire is burning low, so to bed I’ll go
I know I’ve got to get some rest
So I’ll blow a kiss, to you, the one I miss
And pray the angels keep you blessed
And I’ll hold you tight, through the stormy night
That sweet dream will pull me through
And someday soon, I’ll watch those Christmas lights
With you
