Hello all!

I composed this tune and I thought it may work as a Christmas song. I pushed the record button on and sent the track to Geoff (j.g) and inquired him write lyrics and sing it... The original version included instrumental verse - I played "flute" on Yamaha keys, but we got a better idea... Päivi did a short backing vocals instead flute and Geoff joined in with keys. After all...here's our contribution to the Julfest!

Thanks for the listening.

Christmas Day

Snow is gently falling, it knows it's Christmas Day,
Adding to the magic, you can feel in every way,

We're warm as toast, by a blazing fire, with family and friends,
There's no day like Christmas Day, I hope it never ends.

I wish it could be Christmas, every single day,
So many happy memories for us all to take away.

We sit around, smile and drink, forget the family tiffs,
Laughing children play together, with all their Christmas gifts.

I wish it could be Christmas, every single day,
So many happy memories for us all to take away.

I wish it could be Christmas, every single day,
So many happy memories for us all to take away.

Wow! This is an excellent Christmas song. The guitar playing is wonderful and has a nice Christmas feel to it. The lyrics and vocals are brilliant, and I love the short section by Päivi. I'll be listening to this one a lot in the next couple of weeks.
