Stockings filled
The table's laid
Turkey’s ready to be bake
Mama Lindy cooks aware
On Christmas Day
Sister checks the snows in place
The ham is glazed by brother Jay
Candles flicker warm and safe
On Christmas Day
Uncle John cam from far away
Aunty V made her famous cake
Cousin Marvin’s never late
On Christmas Day
We gather round the fireplace
Merrily the children play
With their gifts from Santa’s sleigh
On Christmas Day
The scent of sage and sweet cranberries
The gravy’s made so now we can eat
But not until Grandpa’s speak
On Christmas Day
Grandma won’t be here this year
She’s smiling down on us
Father says
In our joy we see her face
On Christmas
Happy to be with my family
So blessed in love with my family
On the day we celebrate
Oh Christmas Day

This is an absolutely lovely, melancholy Christmas album. Sam Phillips is an Artist with a capital A, and her music is a Treasure. Her entire back catalog is worth every second of your time: great indie, power pop, Americana, heart-melting harmonies—whatever—she's a unique musician and nobody else sounds like Sam Phillips. dominic1701
