Baby It's Alright: By Evan Cunningham
ring them bells
the winter swells and
whiskey pulls the stories
thanks for your time
feels costly I believe you
you say that you’re there for me
but the new year’s coming soon
and i’ll raise a glass with you
i blame it on the shorter days
and the longer nights
merry christmas baby
it’s all right
another decade for the taking
blue that I’m still in the making
colder thoughts abound
it’s all good things given
in the land of the living
to find and feel the light and sound
but the new year’s coming soon
and i’ll raise a glass with you
i blame it on the shorter days
and the longer nights
merry christmas baby
it’s all right

Bluer Christmas

Bluer Christmas: By Ali Groves
Bluer Christmas than I every knew
Almost two years now without you
and I’m full to the brim
not ready for this again
I’m too full for seconds this Christmas
It must be a dream I think it’s a dream
But I keep waking up, crying off all my makeup
Will I really not see you
I thought last Christmas was blue
But it’s a blue bluer Christmas
So blue I know I won’t see you
walk through the door track snow on the floor
I might skip Christmas this year
(I’m gonna skip Christmas this year)

California Christmas: By Bernard Chadwick
The Hollywood sign is lit up like it always is
but tonight it looks a little brighter down the Sunset strip
The Christmas lights are strung up along the boulevard
with all the window shoppers I can't find a place to park my car
It's Christmas in California
where it's brighter than any snow
It's Christmas shining for ya
the city lights give out that heavenly glow
The palm trees fly past me on the 101
All the stores are closed everybody's gone to see someone
There's a Christmas tree on the Malibu pier
There's a north west swell on it's way bringing everybody cheer

Jack's New Girl

Jack's got a girl this year, and it's almost Christmas
Only two months in, oh where to begin
She's not the type to bring home for Christmas
She's really best at hangin around the college crowd
Oh please don't let the fam
Find her instagram
Oh Jack, we're glad you've got a girl
But don't bring her around this Christmas
Oh of you, we think the world
But we don't want to meet your mistress
Oh it's time for Christmas cheer
Best to leave her out this year
For Christmas
She really knows how to aim the camera right
She wants to go out dancing every night
But when it comes down to holiday cheer
It just may be best to wait a year

I Hope On Christmas: By Alex Strahle
Tis the season to be merry
And the season to be bright
Every year we wait too late to
Hang up all those Christmas lights
But this year I pray
That it finds a way
I hope on Christmas
I feel like a child
Full of happiness and cheer
All the bitterness and fear
Be not near
On Christmas
Set aside the tired grudges
Put away all feud and strife
Love your brother and sister
Be in peace on Christmas night
But this year I pray
That it finds a way
I hope on Christmas
I feel like a child
Full of happiness and cheer
All the bitterness and fear
Be not near
On Christmas
I feel like a child
Full of happiness and cheer
All the bitterness and fear
Be not near
On Christmas

Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Christ, the Savior is born, Christ, the Savior is born

The First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
