Maggie's been a keen listener for 45 years, and writes [yes! writes! people write letters to this guy] 'My husband and I saw Jim Reeve perform in a Troop Show while we were serving overseas shortly after WWII. It was after the show that my husband proposed to me, an invitation I happily accepted, and we have been together ever since. One of the songs Jim played that night was the Christmas song, and, at this time of year, it holds a special place in my heart.' Well Maggie, that track is a particular favourite of mine as well, so without further ado, here he is, Jim Reeve... "
C is for the Christ child
Born upon this day
H is for Herald angels
In the night
R means our Redeemer
I means Israel
S is for the Star
That shone so bright
T is for Three wise men
They who travelled far
M is for the Manger
Where He lay
A's for All He stands for
S means Shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day
T is for three wise men

So, technically, he spells Christmastmas, which made me love it even more.
It's soppy, but really puts you in the mood and makes you feel like you really could be in the snow somewhere having a white christmas. It's really sweet cos they talk about what's special to them at christmas and family and the small things that make up christmas. It's not hugely commercial, but really nice. :o)
- falis-mavie-dad??? (sic) that spanish one, we used to and still do parodize it with "Police Got My Dad - SMoking Marijuana in the Shed".
- Happy Xmas/War is Over (im listening to it at the mo)

Hey, can anybody teach me the chords of Coldplay's Shiver???
I know you have to use another tuneing, but I saw a guy playing that with the normal tuneing, and it sounded great.
If anybody can write down the chords for me, I would be very thankful.
When people say they like Snoopy's Christmas, are they talking about a different version to the one I've heard? I swear the damn thing gets worse every year.
//just keep xmas carols away from todays top 40 artists........plz 4 da sake of humanity
No, we wouldn't want to sully your precious Christian praise songs, would we Lucifer_Sam? Did you go to church on Xmas day, you acid-rock-bogan-bad-boy?

I won't be home for christmas - Blink 182
Outside the carolers start to sing
I can't describe the joy they bring
'Cause joy is something they don't bring me
My girlfriend is by my side
From the roof are hanging cicles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's Christmas time again
So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh God, I hate these Satan's helpers
And then I guess I must have snapped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter
Its Christmas time, again
Its time to be nice to the people you cant stand, all year
Im growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you dont wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone
Well, I guess its not cool to freak on Christmas Eve
Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage
And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
Cause a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package
Its Christmas time, again
Its time to be nice to the people you cant stand, all year
Im growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you dont wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone
