Jingle Bells
02:57

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed its lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just grab a bobtailed nag
Two forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! He’ll take the lead

The lights are strung all on the tree
Ornaments hung by you and me
You’ve got your cocoa, I’ve got my tea
And friends and family
The sun is falling over the hill
Bringing that dark cold winter chill
Carolers singing bringing good will
We’ve got time to kill
The winter snow, the mistletoe
It’s all saying it’s Christmas
Holding you near merry with cheer
It’s all saying it’s Christmas
The fireplace is burning bright
As the snow falls on Christmas night
You’re wrapped up in a cozy sweater
There’s no better sight
It all just feels so right

Dashing To The Gym

364 days of the year, I’m lifting. Gotta keep myself in shape for a night of gifting.
You might think I’m overweight, I’m fully aware of that - But kindly remind yourself that muscle weighs more than fat.
It’s not an easy job: being Christopher Kringle. Gotta eat some vegetables instead of popping Pringles. Drop a couple million gifts in under 20 minutes. You should see me do deadlifts. My form is just the sickest.
Warm up - Stretch - Curls - Hydrate - Protein Bar - Stretch - Sauna… Lemme head to the Gym.
Mrs. Clause is my spotter at the North Pole. The sweetest lady in charge of keeping me swole.

My form is just the sickest. It’s not an easy task: to be Old Saint Nick. Gotta have linebacker speed; I keep my calves hella thick. Fig Newtons, Oreos!? Who are these freakin’ rookies? Christmas Eve is my cheat day. Load up on milk and cookies.

Please don't spend a lot of money
Don't go spending time
As on those presents, they'd be wasted
At least they would on mine.
The only thing I'd truly like
cannot be bought or grown
I wanna spend my holidays at home
Don't bother dusting off your tools
To fashion building blocks
I don't need a fancy watch
Adorned with shiny rocks
To give me what I really need, just don't leave me alone
I wanna spend my holidays at home.
Home - we'll crowd around the tree
Home - leave a light on for me
I wanna spend my holidays at home.

Winter Wonderland
02:15
|
|||
|
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in
The weather
Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom at any old time
Here in the open, we're wishin' and hopin' together
Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: “Are you married?”
We'll say: “No man!”
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Christmas time is a special time of year, all the people gather ‘round the tree.
Everywhere, there’s a feeling in the air, all our hearts are filled with joy and glee.
Sharing gifts, sharing love, sharing Christmas punch. Laughter’s all around, can you see?
But the best part of Christmas time each year is the time that we will share, you and me.

You took a breath, and your lungs stung. Breathe out slow.
And You’d watch as your breath hung. It’s letting you know that this is Christmas time.
This is Christmas time.
And as the night falls, the lights go on. There’s stars in the windows.
You know it won’t be long until the calendar shows that this is Christmas time.
This is Christmas time.
Christmas time is here
This is Christmas time, baby! Oh my God, it’s Christmas.
Happy birthday, Jesus. It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday! I’m so glad you were born, Jesus, Jesus. Santa’s little baby. Yeah!
Ding dong ding dong ding.

Send Out The Year
02:42

It’s cold outside and everything is white. I put on my coat to head out alone.
The road is long and covered in snow. I’ve walked it before. Every home lit up and all so warm
Christmas time is here. Hang the lights. Bring in good cheer
I’m counting down the days ‘til I come home and not be alone.
Christmas time is here. Hang the lights. Bring in good cheer.
Christmas time is here. Sing a song and send out the year.

Anything else would just be selfish.

What is it that you’re thankful for? YouTube! Jammies! Switchblades! Post it’s!

Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Trebuchet Petaluma, California
Many years of studying and working on various other musical projects together have afforded its members a strong musical chemistry: one that has helped them achieve a level of honesty on their second album, Volte-Face, which reflects the two years of drastic change in the life of lyricist Eliott Whitehurst that inspired it. ... more
