Welcome to week three of 52tochangetheworld! This week finds me with a sore throat, worn out old guitar strings and almost no rehearsal time! Hopefully this cheerful song will still shine through...
I haven't seen anyone use this guitar technique before for a whole song but I guess someone must have done right? Let me know with a comment on this post or an email if you have seen it 'cos I'm really curious. I reckon the harmonics sound a bit like Christmas bells:-).
Anyway, I wasn't sure whether to make this song a Christmas card for my friends or week three of '52'. In the end I ran out of time and settled for both. Merry Christmas one and all and maybe we can bring a bit of Christmas spirit into every day of 2010! x

Decorations by the fireplace
Presents under the tree
Children laughing, dancing
In their yuletide reverie
All their stockings were full
Now they're emptied all over the floor

Board games on the table
Carols on the radio
It's warm inside still we decide
We're playing in the snow
It's December
But we could do this any time of year

Christmas is not just for Christmas
We can give all year round

Some old film on the TV
That Grandma loves to see
Aunts and Uncles Mum and Dad
Everyone can be
Together today
Seems like everybody's here

Bad jokes in crackers
But we're laughing all the same
Silly Christmas hats
You have to wear one don't complain
It's December
But it could be anytime of year

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun, our lives would be if we did this every day...
