This is my Christmas song to you all. May it go well.
A rework of a song I did a few years ago as my contribution to a gathering of friends at Christmas.
*******************
Friends and Family Day
V1
I can't wait for Christmas,  Shoppers wall to wall
Round the block to Main Street, Still no parking stall.
Store won't take my Visa,  I'm holding up the line.
Over burdened , Overdrawn,  Working overtime
Chorus (all together now)
I wouldn't have it any other way.
I won't give up you will hear me say.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Christmas is a friends and family day.
V2
One more Xmas candy,      
Two more shots of wine.
Three more chocolate Bon Bons, Scales read 2 0 9
Ch
V3
And I think I pulled my back out , taking out the trash
Virus in my email, my computer's crashed

Glenn,

Great to hear from you again.

This is a great song.  I really empathise with it. 

It sounds fantastic with a real Christmas sing along feel.

cheers,

Great stuff Glenn, love the harmony vocals and the uptempo feel which had me tapping my feet while doing email on a Monday morning. It's not Xmas yet but this is helping get me in the mood. Like the twist in V3 and hope the scales don't read too badly at the end of festivities....

Very well produced as well, this all works beautifully. Great job.

I dig the happy go lucky feel of this Christmas song Glenn! The whistle works perfectly. Great guitar and vocals. The chorus melody is real catchy and the words are easy to relate too. The line "Three more chocolate Bon Bons, Scales read 2 0 9" cracked me up! If my scales read  209, I'd be celebrating because it would be going in the right down direction. Good song for the YuleFest!
