"What would Christmas Eve sound like if it was just music and composed by you?"

This Christmas song was in response to a question posed by my cousin. It seeks to explore what Christmas means to me.

lyrics
Verse
The house is frenetic and bustling
have we got all the ingredients and presents
Let's just take a chill, forget the drill
put on some Ella and some Ronnie Mils

The festive melodies cranked on high
Nostalgic melodies from our favourite tunes
We've got Kenny G, Dolly P
Decking the halls of our little abode

Chorus
Oh Christmas
My favourite time of the year
We need to take a moment to reflect
Give thanks to the one, who made it all possible

Oh Christmas
My favourite time of the year
We need to take a moment to reflect
Give thanks

Verse
Getting ready to go to church
I can't believe another year has flown by
You look so dazzlin', enchanting
my bride glowing in your dress and your new necklace

The tree's all set up and lookin' lit
decorations hanging all around
I wonder what's waiting for, waiting for,
waiting for me under the tree

Chorus
As above

Bridge
I've set up the crib meticulously
I'm reminded of the simplicity
God to man, a woman gave birth
He came to save this fallen Earth

Verse
Christmas day is finally here
The family will make their way to mom and dad's
there'll be carolling, sorpotel
everyone's loquacious and high

Chorus
Oh Christmas
My favourite time of the year
We need to take a moment to reflect
Give thanks to the one, who made it all possible

Oh Christmas
The years stream on by
We need to take a moment to reflect
We need to take a moment to reflect
We need to take a moment to reflect
And thank the Lord for Christmas Day
