about
Every Songwriter worth their salt has had a go at writing a Christmas song, hoping to find an idea that hasnt already been done, whilst creating a sense of excitement, wonder or just a different point of view on the festive season.
I am no different...
This is my first attempt at a Christmas song, I had the first verse and chorus idea for quite a while before seeking help in finishing it as each December would arrive and I would be reminded that I still hadn't finished the blessed song!
So, a few years ago now I collaborated with a fine writer called Kevin Hadley and we managed to knock into shape.
Now, I know its not a particularly original take on the Christmas somng but I feel it captures some of the essence of Christmas, cosiness, warm sentiments and of course has some sleigh bells in it!
I am a sucker for nostalgia (although it's not what it used to be!) so, make yourself a steaming hot chocolate, sit by the fire, relax and enjoy my festive offering; Love This Christmas
lyrics
At Christmas, a kiss must be under the misteltoe
A present is more pleasant when wrapped with a ribbon and bow
and children love singing the carols that we love to hear
So give love this Christmas, a beautiful time of the year
The Holly looks jolly and red like the Robins breast
A warm family welcome, for christmas dinner guests
To old friends and new ones all people that we hold dear
We give love this Christmas a beautiful time of the year
While we're feasting and having fun
give a thought to the lonely ones
who may not be quite as lucky as you
its not just at Christmas that they need love too
Across nations, celebrations are now coming to an end
decorations are taken down and packed away again
forgiving and forgetting all our worries and all of our fear
is the message this Christmas and should last throughout the year
So give love, this Christmas, a beautiful time fo the year
So give love, This Christmas
A beautiful time of the year
