Story behind the song
a Christmas song that came to me in late 2011, but I only got round to writing words and recording them a year later.
Lyrics
I Wish You Merry Christmas
some people think it's wine and mince-pies
turkey with all the trimming
just an excuse for dancing and highs
parties with glasses brimming
some people say there's more of a message, something about more caring
and taking the time to think what it means
to really give love and ponder upon the values in life
well that's up to you, but all I can say is
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
some people think that Yuletide must be
reindeer and snowball-fighting
holly and tinsel hung on a tree
flashing with coloured lighting
some people say behind all the glitter lies a much deeper meaning
something about the the purpose of life
and focussing on the people in want, and others in need
well that's up to you, but all I can say is
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
some people think it's Santa and elves
crackers and hats and mottos
some people simply pamper themselves
some go for jackpot lottos
some people say that's all well and good, but really the celebration
is something about the way that we live
and meanings in life, and giving of love that's straight from the heart
well that's up to you, but all I can say is
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry, I wish you Merry Christmas
