It's the most wonderful time of the year, but only if we all get to hear your Christmas songs. If you have one, post it here for us all to enjoy. Or get inspired and make a new one.
Here is a Christmas song, easy to learn and easy to sing along.

Hi everybody,
here is one I wrote together with Gary E. Andrews called "Christmas With You": https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=13332433
Last year a little video was built around this song sung by Mattis who participated in The Voice Of Germany 2018:
I wish everybody here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
CHRISTMAS WITH YOU
Verse 1:
I baked your favorite cookies
And I decked the Christmas tree
But I can’t find the spirit
Cause you’re not here with me
Verse 2:
I wrote all my greeting cards
For the holiday
Anticipation's rising
I know you’re on your way
Pre-Chorus:
It's the busy time of year
Outside the cold winds blow
They're playing our favorite Christmas songs
On the radio
Chorus:
All the lights are shining
They're shining everywhere
I hear the sound of children's
Laughter fill the air
If you could be here with me
That'd be too cool to be true
The closest thing to perfect
Would be celebrating Christmas with you
Verse 3:
This year I don't want presents
You can keep your money too
The only thing I wish for
Is Christmas Eve with you
Verse 4:
I don't care about the weather
I don't care if there's no snow
As long as you're here with me
Underneath the mistletoe
Repeat pre-chorus
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Now I lit the candles
On the Christmas tree
Their light will guide you home
Safely back to me
Repeat chorus
Final chorus:
All the lights are shining
They're shining everywhere
I hear the sound of children's
Laughter fill the air
Now you're finally with me
And it’s too cool to be true
The closest thing to perfect
Is celebrating Christmas with you
With you
I'm celebrating Christmas with you
..and there's always this to really get that old Christmas spirit fired up!
