about

A series of images and remembrances of Christmas over the years.

lyrics

Quickly approaches the end of the year,
outside the snowflakes are falling
Christmas is coming, the shopping is done,
the tree and the gifts are enthralling
Santa will magically visit the tree,
bringing the hopes of the season
Suspended in time, he waits till the children
are snug as a bug and sleeping

Christmas has… Christmas has…
Christmas has… Christmas has come

Family arrives with gifts of their own,
excited with holiday cheer
From house to house the carolers sing
of sleigh bells they’re hoping to hear
On water like glass, frozen in time,
people are skating in together
The warmth of their joy cuts through the cold,
easing the harsh winter weather

Christmas has… Christmas has… Christmas has…
Christmas has come to delight us, to thrill and invite us
to learn of the love that it brings to enlighten us
Reconnecting, together reflecting,
to brighten a hopeful new year
Christmas has come

The thrill of the season is filling the air,
the holiday meal comes together
Aromas redolent of feasts through the years,
the memories linger forever
Deep in the night, presents appear
in the light from the tree as it dances
Clothes for the teens, toys for the kids,
little gifts hid in the branches

Christmas is… Mistletoe, holly
Christmas is… chestnuts and chimneys
Christmas is… Jesus and Mary
Christmas is… toys and trains
Christmas is… Eggnog and fruitcake
Christmas is… nativity scenes
Christmas is… magi and ornaments… Christmas is…
Christmas cookies and candy canes
Christmas has… Christmas has…
Christmas has… Christmas has come

Then all are asleep, warm and content,
exhausted and quietly dreaming
‘Neath wreaths woven from kindness and love,
slumbering wishes are fleeting
At early O’clock, alarms all go off,
the chaos begins of unwrapping
The children so soon worn out from the fun,
satisfied, happy and napping

Christmas has… Christmas has… Christmas has…
Christmas has come to delight us, to thrill and invite us
to learn of the love that it brings to enlighten us
Reconnecting, together reflecting,
to brighten a hopeful new year
Christmas has come

Schweitzer Los Angeles, California

My brother started writing songs and that was the spark that started me on my own songwriting course that would last the rest of my life. I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
