Bruce Carter I really cannot pick one favorite track. It changes every time I listen all way through. Irene Claus and What is Nog also highly recommended. A+ Favorite track: Santa and the Mellow Double Guitar Solo.

Everyone seems busy around Christmastime Making lists, giving gifts and getting you But what’s the point if all you do is never see each other anyway? We should just lay around the whole month of December Get rid of this stuff that we always have to do just me and you we’ll lay around and talk to each other declaring this from here on out that Lazy Christmas is here to stay Everyone seems busy around Christmastime

the best way to get mistletoe is get a boat and then you go with a shotgun shoot to the top of the trees berries from the mistletoe hit the deck and they grow the boat slowly overflows with magic christmas trees ho ho ho he he he i've got my friends with me ho ho ho we go down stream the boat starts to take shape of a christmas tree we shake the berries from the mistletoe turn a golden hue ants start to crawl around at closer look on the ground they are really santa's elves making you some toys ho ho ho he he he i've got my friends with me ho ho ho we go down stream the best thing about the boat is when it stops and doesn't float we sit around and talk about things from last year birthdays, trips and babies born books you read, when your clothes got torn the christmas magic mistletoes grows here every year. ho ho ho he he he i've got my friends with me ho ho ho we go down stream

the north star shined so bright it blinded me and I ran into a christmas tree and it fell right on top of me i stood up and my arms were branches hair was tinsel and feet were presents with bows now you know my eyes turned christmas lights fingers changes to ornaments when i got scared all my pine needles fell out and the kids shout they said help him my future it looked grim go my whole life needing a trim that's when one kid grabbed me by my limbs and took me inside cut off my branches pulled off the tinsel opened my presents as shoes now they do peeled off the christmas lights broke off all the ornaments now i could see the star that blinded me when I got here and they all cheered

Have you ever wondered about this thing they call egg nog sure it's made from eggs but what's this thing called nog? it's the thing they mix with eggs to make egg nog. i like to drink egg nog when it's christmastime or when it's hanukkah i like to have a cup what's inside this thing that they call nog? you get 11 eggs and you crack them on your legs then you drop it in a bowl with an old jelly roll then you whisk them up right with a string of christmas lights and add cream and sugar and whiskey and a pinch of nutmeg that's your egg nog i like to drink egg nog with friends and family wish that i could drink it all year long but it goes away when christmastime is gone

about

Every year we send out holiday songs to friends and family. Since this is a magical time of year we usually feel like it's appropriate to sing about magical things. These things include candy powered sleds, Christmas dragons, people turning into Christmas trees and mellow double guitar solos played by none other than Kris Kringle himself.

Enjoy!
