Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues My baby's gone, I have no friends To wish me greetings once again Choirs will be singin' Silent Night Christmas carols by candlelight Please, come home for Christmas Please, come home for Christmas If not for Christmas, by New Year's night Friends and relations send salutations Sure as the stars shine above This is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear The time of year to be with the one you love Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam Christmas and New Year's will find you home There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain 'Cause I'll be happy, happy once again Ooh, no more sorrow, no grief and pain 'Cause I'll be happy, Christmas once again

The snow is snowing and the wind it is blowing But I can weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm I cannot remember the worst December Just watch the icicles form What do I care if icicles form I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat off with my gloves Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with love My heart's on fire and the flame grows higher So I will weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm

How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree? How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe. If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true. How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray, for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true You will never stray, for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you

Christmas comes but once a year, and to me it brings good cheer And to everyone who likes wine and beer Happy New Year is after that, happy I'll be, that is a fact That is why I like to hear, folks I say that Christmas is here Christmas bells will ring real soon, even in the afternoon There'll be no chimes shall ring at the Christmas Ball Everyone must watch their step, or they will loose their rep Everybody full of fare at the Christmas Ball Grab your partner one an' all, keep on dancing 'round the hall Then there's no one to fall, don't you dare to strut If your partner don't act fair, don't worry there's some more over there Seekin' a chance everywhere at the Christmas Ball

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 Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight 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 Sleigh bells ring, are you listening In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland

Oh, little Jack Frost get lost, get lost Little Jack Frost get lost You know you don't do a thing but put a bite on my toes Freeze up the ground and take the bloom from the rose Oh, little Jack Frost go away, go away And don't you come back another day There's lots of cold feet all the lovers complain You turn up the heat down on lover's lane The bench in the park is alone in the dark So, little Jack Frost get lost, get lost Little Jack Frost get lost

Merry Christmas, baby, you sure did treat me nice Merry Christmas, baby, you sure did treat me nice Gave me a Cadillac car for Christmas Now I'm living in paradise Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine, got good music on my radio Well, I wanna kiss you, darling While you're standing under the mistletoe Saint Nick came down the chimney about half past three Left all these pretty presents that you see before me Merry Christmas, pretty baby, you sure been good to me Well, I haven't had a drink this morning But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree, ooh

There's something about those lights, that set my heart aglow. The tree in the corner, the fireplace, the radio. Playing Christmas songs, the crooners of old. It's the little things that make. They say Santa's comin', jolly old Kris Kringle. What will he bring for all the simple people? I hope its good will, towards our fellow man. Merry Christmas with Love My wish, is this. That we all, slow down. To once, again feel That magical holiday renown I just can't help my self when the time arrives. Pour up some eggnog get put on Burl Ives. A holly jolly Christmas Yes, I wish you A Merry Christmas with Love

about

"Merry Christmas With Love" is a compilation album of amazing Central Texas jazz, blues, and western swing musicians. Producer Chris Alvarado and Bee Creek Studio have donated all studio time and production to this project, ensuring that all proceeds from this album go straight to the musicians that are making the awesome music on it!
The Covid-19 pandemic has unfortunately been devastating to all working musicians and music venues around central Texas, so instead of asking for straight donations, we figured it would be great to provide some holiday cheer in return! This album is ONLY available digitally on Bandcamp for $20, while this price may seem steep, please realize that in the end this is a fundraiser for musicians that have been out of work for going on 9 months. You also have the option to pay more for the release and help out the cause even more if you would like!
PRE ORDER NOW! This album will officially release on December 4th! Our goal is to sell 500 copies! So help us get there by sharing, liking, and following!
