I Hear Christmas

I hear sleigh bells (jingling, jingling)
I hear laughter (family mingling)
I hear glasses (clinking, clinking)
Christmas punch (we’re drinking, drinking)
The sounds of such a joyous season
Makes me happy with good reason
Hearts are full of love and spirit
I hear Christmas (do you hear it?)
Boots on snow are crunching, crunching
Kids with cookies munching, munching
Ornaments are tinkling, tinkling
Wrapping paper… crinkling, crinkling
The sounds of such a joyous season
Makes me happy with good reason
Rosy cheeks and eyes are glistening
I hear Christmas (are you listening?)
Visitors are rapping, rapping
Hands on backs are slapping, slapping
Friends and lovers kissing, kissing
Sighs for sweethearts missing, missing
Frosty winds are blowing, blowing
Santa Claus is ho-ho-ho-ing
Reindeer hooves are tapping, tapping
Waiting children clapping, clapping
Chilly weather, happy sound
We hear love, it’s all around
Let us all be filled with spirit
We hear Christmas (hear it, hear it)

Christmas Eve

Christmas hath a darkness
Brighter than the blazing noon,
Christmas hath a chillness
Warmer than the heat of June,
Christmas hath a beauty
Lovelier than the world can show:
Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low.
Earth, strike up your music,
Birds that sing and bells that ring;
Heaven answers music
For all Angels soon to sing:
Earth, put on your whitest
Bridal robe of spotless snow:
Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low.
Christmas hath a darkness
Brighter than the blazing noon,
Christmas hath a chillness
Warmer than the heat of June,
Christmas hath a beauty
Lovelier than the world can show:
Christmas bringeth Jesus,
Brought for us so low.

Christmas Wreath

Oh Christmas wreath upon the wall,
Within thine ivied space
I see the years beyond recall,
Amid thy leaves I trace
The shadows of a happy past,
When all the world was bright,
And love its magic splendour cast
O’er morn and noon and night.
Oh Christmas wreath upon the wall,
Neath memory’s tender spell
A wondrous charm doth o’er thee fall,
And round thy beauty dwell.
Thine ivy hath the satiny sheen
Of tresses I’ve caressed,
Thy holly’s crimson gleam I’ve seen
On lips I oft have pressed.
Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall,
A mist steals o’er my sight.
Dear hallow’d wreath, these tears are all
The pledge I now can plight
To those loved ones whose spirit eyes
Shine down the flight of time;
Around God’s throne their voices rise
To swell the Christmas Chime!

Los Doggies New Paltz, New York
Los Doggies was formed in the late '90s by the Stormo brothers while writing jingles for their answering machine.
Los Doggies recommends:
Endless awesome melodies interwoven perfectly. Every moment rules. The songs are performed twice—once in traditional prog-rock setting, and again in the blooping beauty of a Nintendo soundcard.

Guitarry nights. Zappa babies. A hardy helping of variety for folks who don't mind their metal lite and ticklish, their lyrics sparse and colorful, and for those who do: acquire this taste!
