Vacaboca New Christmas music is often a tough sell - classics set and define the mood, and don't leave a lot of room for new songs at the table. There are some real treats here, and a lot of smiles - great work, Christian, this will be a part of my yearly holiday rotation. Favorite track: Tree Lights.

(1st Verse) Do you hear the sound of sleigh bells in the air Do you seethe smiles mistletoe brings Do you feel the gentle drops of snow flakes in your hair There’s a magic to almost everything (Pre Chorus) Tis the season for excellent vibes Wishing to all a jolly good time Placing stars on the tree It Feels Like Christmas Time To Me (Chorus) It Feels Like Christmas Time To Me Do you hear Do you hear Do you hear what I hear? Do you see Do you see Do you see What I see? (2nd Verse) Do you hear the sound of carolers singing door to door Do you see the the tree lights sparkling on main street Hand in hand with somebody you love on a cold winters night warming up watching holiday movies It Feels Like Christmas Time To Me (Chorus) It Feels Like Christmas Time To Me Do you hear Do you hear Do you hear what I hear? Do you see Do you see Do you see What I see? (Bridge) Do you hear those sounds coming from the rooftop Did you see the sleigh and the mid air reindeer trots Did you feel a sense of magic and a sense of wonder It brings me back to a time I love to remember (Chorus) Do you hear Do you hear Do you hear what I hear? Do you see Do you see Do you see What I see?

Tree Lights 04:33
(1st Verse) I picked up your favorites the lights that sparkle red and green I love the way they look on the tree and the smile from you that it brings (Pre-Chorus) Maybe we can add a little holly next right next to the mistletoe that’s where it should go let it be known that there’s nothing I’d rather do (Chorus) Then hang up those Tree Lights with you Then hang up those Tree Lights with you (2nd Verse) Db – Gb Baby we can hang out by the fire enjoy the silence and each other’s company Maybe we can open presents only one or two just a little early (2nd Pre-Chorus) The sound of snow lightly tapping on the window adds so much to the jolly vibe It’s the time of year full of Christmas cheer I get to renew (Chorus) When I hang up those Tree Lights with you When I hang up those Tree Lights with you (Bridge) I love the way the light shines in your eyes from the Christmas tree lights that we just put together The way you laugh The way you smile at the cheesy holiday movies on Netflix is a treasure I love keeping each other warm by the fireplace while Jack Frost creates an ideal December My favorite thing about this time of year is simple yet I promise with all my heart it’s the truth (Chorus) It’s hanging those Tree Lights with you

(1st Verse) Where are you Santa Claus I’m waiting up for you I’ve got milk and the cookies all laid out and ready for you It’s 12:25 It’s way past my bedtime But I’m waiting up to see your reindeer take flight You’re someone I’ve wanted to see Since I could form early memories Mall Santa’s just will not suffice I’ll power through all for the yawns and I’ll stay up till the crack of dawn just to get one glimpse is he a man or a myth (Chorus) Oh Where Are You Santa Claus? Oh Where Are You Santa Claus? (2nd Verse) Where are you Santa Claus It’s 1:53 on my watch The milk’s a bit warm and the cookies are cold to the touch I just had to hide from my mom and dad If they discovered me they would surely put me back to bed (Bridge) As I sit down and stare at the fireplace there are some thoughts that really will not escape What if Santa doesn’t come this year? Did I do something bad? (Am I on the naughty list?) Did I make him real mad? (Was I too selfish?) What if he’s not here because he knows that I am wide awake! It was at that moment the child went to bed Then Santa worked his magic right under his head After leaving the presents he flew into the night leaving a letter behind that was just a delight Dear Chrissy Sorry we missed each other this year But I appreciated the milk and cookie spread Best Regards, Santa Claus P.S. Enjoy The Electric Guitar, You Deserve it (Outro) Oh Thank You Santa Claus Oh Thank You Santa Claus Yeeeeeah Oh Thank You Oh Thank You Oh Thank You Oh Thank You Oh Thank You Santa Claus

Snow Days 03:23
(1st Verse) Snow Days Were always the best To hang outside with your friends Play and slide For hours on end In the fresh snow That was heaven-sent Then you’d venture home Soaked to the bone In the snow that followed you home Then you’d warm up by a roaring fire As you watched all your favorite shows (Chorus) Snow Days I’ll Always Remember The gleeful cheers Of a long-ago December (2nd Verse) The Sun Rises on another December day Jack frost he made an appearance last night Fresh snow on the ground He laid Covering traces of Fun and folly from The prior day Well that just won’t due For all of the kids who just wanna go outside and play (Chorus) On a Snow Day I’ll Always Remember The gleeful cheers Of a long-ago December On a Snow Day I’ll Always Remember The gleeful cheers Of a long ago December

(1st Verse) Every year after the big man flies The elves let loose With a party that lasts all night It seems to get bigger every year With many colorful characters Returning to spread some cheer Rudolph lights it up With his nose so bright He’ll guide the party right Into the morning light And Frosty’s making slushies in the kitchen With Mr. Snow Miser helping and chipping in (Chorus) Oooo It’s a North Pole Party! Full of fun and Folly! It’s so holly and Jolly! At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) (2nd Verse) Outside is Mr. Heat Miser Who is making sure There’s a fabulous bonfire Old Sam sings to the crowd With Christmas tunes That make you wanna just sing out loud And visiting from New York City is Buddy the elf and his breakfast spaghetti He also bought his wife and family To add to the fun And the Christmas festivities Look up there Do you see what I see? It’s Santa Claus coming in for a landing And now we know for a fact That this Christmas party Is just beginning (Chorus) Oooo It’s a North Pole Party! Full of fun and Folly! It’s so holly and Jolly! At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) (Bridge) Dasher, Dancer Prancer, Vixen Comet, Cupid Donner and Blitzen Are bout to race Out in the snow Now Dasher, Dancer Prancer, Vixen Comet, Cupid Donner and Blitzen Are inside sipping hot coco (Chorus) Oooo It’s a North Pole Party! Full of fun and Folly! It’s so holly and Jolly! At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party) At the North Pole Party (At the North Pole Party)

(1st Verse) It was late at night On Christmas Eve I had a craving For moms’ homemade cookies I decided It’d be wise to venture down the stairs And maybe sneak a peak At those presents that may be there I saw a big ol’ man And he made me quake He said… Little man you know you shouldn’t be away (Chorus) I Saw Santa Claus! (I Saw Santa Claus!) And He Saw Me! (Yeah, And He Saw Me!) Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus (Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus) Big Red and Jolly (Big Red and Jolly) It was Quite a thing to witness A Christmas curiosity *Instrumental Break* (2nd Verse) On Christmas morning I went downstairs And all the presents Were accounted for right there And in my stocking There was a letter for me It was from the jolly man Addressed to Christian C It read… Little man it was great to see ya there But next year if you hear me Please stay upstairs. (Chorus) I Saw Santa Claus! (I Saw Santa Claus!) And He Saw Me! (Yeah, And He Saw Me!) Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus (Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus) Big Red and Jolly (Big Red and Jolly) He was quite a thing to witness A Christmas curiosity ONE MORE TIME Y’ALL I Saw Santa Claus! (I Saw Santa Claus!) And He Saw Me! (Yeah, And He Saw Me!) Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus (Yeah, I Saw Santa Claus) Big Red and Jolly (Big Red and Jolly) He was quite a thing to witness A Christmas curiosity

(1st Verse) Were you not as nice as you could have been this year Did you really give two sugar honey ice teas about spreading any Christmas cheers If you could not resist acting like a little grinch you should really give us a call (2nd Verse) did you sneak a little broccoli to the family dog do you and your brother and sister not get along So you don’t end up on the bad side of the big guy pick up the phone and call our hotline To get ya off the naughty list (Chorus) Go on and take the lead Yeah I can get ya off the naughty list Money back guaranteed So all ya gotta do and call little ol’ me 527-2680 (3rd Verse) Did you really think I’d be a good idea to paint with lipstick on the walls Did you pull down Santa’s beard In the Ocean County Mall Did you say some words Mom and dad didn’t think were very nice Did you push your little sister in a snow drift outside If you participated in some badness You should call our number to get you off the naughty list (Chorus) Go on and take the lead Yeah I can get ya off the naughty list Money back guaranteed So with your parents permission obviously Give us a little ring
10.
(1st Verse) For generation after generation I’ve sat perched up on the hillside Just another humble snow man with a Top Hat and a corn cob pipe Every year I Witness a new crop of kids hop on their sleds and take the downhill plunge But as of recently I cannot help but wonder if it’s really all that fun (Pre-Chorus) Can a man made of ice and snow Face forces to him quite unknown but I will never know if I don’t try (Chorus) Hey Kids Have you ever seen a Snowman fly? Down the hill zooming past at the highest of speeds Feeling the warmth of life living so fancy free That the kind of life that I do think that I need (2nd Verse) What better time than the present for this present of a sled ride Even though the science says I won’t have a good time To hell with what science has to say Imma do it anyway I cant take being just another snowman for another snowy day (Pre-Chorus) With a push and a shove I’m on the go rolling down the hill at speeds unknown I feel like I’m going the speed of light (Chorus) Hey Mom! I Think I Just Saw a Snowman Fly! Down the hill zooming past at the highest of speeds Feeling the warmth of life living so fancy free That the kind of life that I do think that I need (Outro) I Think I Just Saw a Snowman Fly! Down the hill zooming past at the highest of speeds Feeling the warmth of life living so fancy free That the kind of life that I do think that I need
11.
(1st Verse) It’s my favorite time of year And no one can tell me otherwise, Bring on the decorations, merry greetings and salutations And those wonderful sparkling lights There’s just a vibe that can’t be matched So don’t just give those carolers A passing glance As the old saying goes Be kind to your fellow man Don’t let your holiday spirit be confined (Chorus) Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine (2nd Verse) Cozy up by a roaring fire wearing that corny holiday attire Lighting candles for and with the ones you love or adorning the tree with little turtle dove ornaments heaven sent good vibes and merriment Peanuts and Rankin & Bass specials that can’t be surpassed ABC’s 25 is nothing but good vibes And when we are done let’s go look at the neighborhood lights (Pre-Chorus) There’s no vibe like a December morning sunrise (Chorus) Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine Tis The Season to Shine
