about

The Christmas song I always wanted to write. It came to me in one sitting at the piano late one November, and reflects my thoughts on not just the 'trappings of the season', but those trapped.

There is a common joy and an all too common sadness found in this tale/song, hopefully, told with a twist. Think 'Pretty Paper' which was written by Willie Nelson, and masterfully performed by Roy Orbison.

lyrics

Put your coat on, we're going shopping
You can even sit on Santa's knee!
We'll have eggnog and hit the mall
So many stores we'll have to shop them all...
*It's Christmas*

Come on baby, your parents are waiting
I can even smell the turkey from here!
We'll eat until we can't bend over
Let's hope the fridge can hold all of the the 'left overs'...

Chorus
And when you're stringing those Candy Canes -
(someone is sleeping in the rain)
And when you're dreaming of Sugar Plums -
(someone is praying a saviour comes)
And when you're opening up your gifts
(someone didn't even get a Christmas wish)

Come on girl, we gotta pack the car up!
Will we even have room for everything that we got?
We'll regift some, then throw some away..
The fun was opening them up anyway...
*It's Christmas*

Chorus
And when you're stringing those Candy Canes -
(someone is sleeping in the rain)
And when you're dreaming of Sugar Plums -
(someone is praying a saviour comes)
And when you're opening up your gifts
(someone didn't even get a Christmas wish)

That's when the man on the street started praying
It's when he saw the lights from the Church Christmas Eve...

We better hurry, the Church play is beginning
What a cute little manger up there on the stage!

Ugh! Who let this man in!? He's really filthy!
He's gonna ruin it for all the little kiddies...
*It's Christmas*

So let's start stringing those Candy Canes!
Let's start dreaming of sugar plums!
Let's start opening up the gifts!
It's Christmas...

about

Richard Cummins Agassiz, British Columbia

Richard Cummins first sang with his Mother on a home made tape when he was roughly 3 years old, in tune. She, having grown up on 50's rockabilly and country icons like Loretta Lynn, taught Richard the guitar at an early age. But it was upon his discovery of the Beatles that made Richard obsess over music, learning guitar, bass, piano & drums and writing boxes full of songs. ... more
