Jesus 03:05
lyrics

That night was silent There was a holy presence An infant leapt in the womb Another destined for the tomb A miracle birth, our Savior A virgin appointed by the Lord Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world That night was divine With a star as their guide The wise bore the finest gifts For the King of holiness In the beginning with God was the Word For God so loved the world, He’ll return Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world Yaweh in a manger Lie our Savior Yaweh in a manger Lie our Savior Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world Merry Christmas Mary delivered Jesus So He would Deliver the world

Christmas Spirit 03:00

Get the chill out Be an open fire And don’t pout Just be merrier In this season There’s comfort and there’s joy Though in good fun It’s not about the toys There’s no sale that can save our souls Jesus was born to save us from the coals Why do we bypass the thankfulness We’re losing the meaning of Christmas Not about the presents under the tree’s lights It’s about the presence of Jesus Christ It doesn’t really matter what’s on my wishlist ‘Cause that’s not the spirit of Christmas Not naughty, be nice Don’t be a ghost Be warm through the ice Be a good host Write a letter Not of wishes Freeze the bitter Share the kindness There’s no sale that can save our souls Jesus was born to save us from the coals Why do we bypass the thankfulness We’re losing the meaning of Christmas Not about the presents under the tree’s lights It’s about the presence of Jesus Christ It doesn’t really matter what’s on my wishlist ‘Cause that’s not the spirit of Christmas The Christmas spirit is the love The Christmas spirit is Jesus Holy spirit cover those who grieve This time of year isn’t always happy To all of the people who are in need Please bring consolation and peace Why do we bypass the thankfulness We’re losing the meaning of Christmas Not about the presents under the tree’s lights It’s about the presence of Jesus Christ It doesn’t really matter what’s on my wishlist ‘Cause that’s not the spirit of Christmas The Christmas spirit is the love The Christmas spirit is Jesus

Faded Ornaments 03:05
lyrics

Decorations This time of year Unpack the boxes Out from the attic Reminiscence Bittersweet tears Discolored plastic Still has the magic Those feelings were so warm Despite the temperature outdoors Holding on to my youth And celebrating the truth Though they’re faded ornaments They hold memories of Christmas And it may never feel the same I’ll still use them to decorate Recollection of Christmastime Faded ornaments revive that child Deck the house with All those faded ornaments Expectations Holiday fears Wood is broken Glass in fragments Anticipation Seasonal cheer No matter the condition It’s sentimental Those feelings were so warm Despite the temperature outdoors Holding on to my youth And celebrating the truth Though they’re faded ornaments They hold memories of Christmas And it may never feel the same I’ll still use them to decorate Recollection of Christmastime Faded ornaments revive that child Deck the house with All those faded ornaments Disappointing when it’s over Back to normal life, holiday sober Keep the joy that was gifted No returns, keep the spirits lifted Though they’re faded ornaments They hold memories of Christmas And it may never feel the same I’ll still use them to decorate Recollection of Christmastime Faded ornaments revive that child Deck the house with All those faded ornaments

Sickness for Christmas 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Every year those I love ask me What’s upon my wishlist I feel so undeserving Never know in the moment And I don’t need anything, But I still want everything I know it’s not about possessions Already have many things Still wonder what they will bring I know I’ll still ask for them Instead of wrapping Christmas gifts Was wrapping myself in blankets Thought, "I'd rather have the coal Than this cold in the cold" Illness wasn't on my wish list but Ironically that Christmas I loved I got sickness for Christmas I got sickness for Christmas I received all I asked for Maybe it was a little too much Because I was given more Such as a fever to run It was humbling and so sore All of this I cannot ignore Somehow it was still so much fun Maybe it was from the medicine Instead of wrapping Christmas gifts Was wrapping myself in blankets Thought, "I'd rather have the coal Than this cold in the cold" Illness wasn't on my wish list but Ironically that Christmas I loved I got sickness for Christmas I got sickness for Christmas Stuffing my stockings Stuffy nose and coughing Pictures don’t capture Our feverish temperatures A memorable Christmas Thanks to this illness I got sickness For Christmas Instead of wrapping Christmas gifts Was wrapping myself in blankets Thought, "I'd rather have the coal Than this cold in the cold" Illness wasn't on my wish list but Ironically that Christmas I loved I got sickness for Christmas I got sickness for Christmas

Florida Winter 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Where I’m from you know It’s not like the movies’ weather A white Christmas but no snow It’s a Florida winter The folklore and traditions still apply Even if it may be warm outside The fronts come and go The sand is our snow It’s hot then it’s cold Humid chills to the bone While they’re dreaming Of a Christmas that’s white We’re praying it’s not raining And that there’s sunshine It’s a Florida winter It’s a Florida winter It’s cold before and after Christmas At least that’s how it seems to be I hear snow is beautiful but tiresome I guess we battle humidity The folklore and traditions still apply Even if we only pretend it’s icy outside The fronts come and go The sand is our snow It’s hot then it’s cold Humid chills to the bone While they’re dreaming Of a Christmas that’s white We’re praying it’s not raining And that there’s sunshine It’s a Florida winter It’s a Florida winter ‘Tis all the seasons In a single day But there’s still reason For us celebrate Southern hospitality Makes for good tidings And a joyful holiday Can y’all relate? The fronts come and go The sand is our snow It’s hot then it’s cold Humid chills to the bone While they’re dreaming Of a Christmas that’s white We’re praying it’s not raining And that there’s sunshine It’s a Florida winter It’s a Florida winter

about

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I hate to admit that the magic of it definitely has died down as I’ve gotten older--until recently. If it does lose that spark for me again, I hope and pray that it will return again. Creating this body of work has certainly helped. I craved to create nuanced, original Christmas music to add to the joy of the season. I hope y’all can relate to these songs alongside me. Consider this is my Christmas card to the world.
