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

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

"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!
released December 4, 2020
