In a Holiday Mood 03:07
lyrics
buy track
I'm in a Holiday mood... I've got that attitude because it's Holiday time in this city of mine. When those coloured lights come on and those bells begin to ring Oooh, it makes you feel so warm it can only mean one thing; because it's Holiday time in this city of mine. I'm in a Holiday mood... I've got that attitude. I've got that warm, fuzzy feeling taking over my mind. Even though it may be dreary outside we're all bright and cheery, walking around in a Holiday Mood. I hear those Holiday sounds everywhere and all around it starts to put me in a Holiday mood. When those coloured lights come on and those bells begin to ring Oooh, it makes you feel so warm it can only mean one thing: it's Holiday time in this city of mine. I'm in a Holiday mood. I've got that attitude because it's Holiday time in this city of mine.

Hang Up Your Stockings 03:57
lyrics

I still remember being together every December night. The twinkling light A streetlight, the starlight, that look in your eyes, all aglow... So Meet me under the mistletoe, Darling, before I have to go Keeping me warm all the way home through the snow Happy Holidays. Hang up your stockings I'm coming home. I'm on my way. I'm almost there. I just can't get back soon enough. I'll show you I care. I want to give you all of my Love because Winter is so cold and lonely without your one and only Meet me under the mistletoe, Darling before I have to go Keeping me warm all the way back through the snow Happy Holidays Hang up your stockings I'm coming home.

Bundle Up 02:30
lyrics
buy track
So Bundle up, up, up Let's walk, walk, walk It's coming down, down down Like a million falling stars I wish on every one for the same thing. I look up at those stars and catch one on my tongue... You know, if this were Summertime it would just be raining So Bundle up, up, up Let's walk, walk, walk It's coming down, down down Like shavings from the Moon They're carving it in space to give the Moon a face but it's mostly maintenance these days. So Bundle up, up, up Let's walk, walk, walk It's coming down, down down Like ashes from a fire that took this long to fall You know, we go around the Sun each year and catch them. Or perhaps it's not the Sun but merely fireworks from Toronto or New York or anybody else ringing in the year So Bundle up, up, up Let's walk, walk, walk It's coming down, down down Bundle up, up, up Let's walk, walk, walk It's coming down, down down

Ankle Deep 03:22
lyrics
buy track
A near-silent world in a blanket of Winter... Skeleton hands, reaching out from it, skyward... And I'm a storm unto myself... Now, which way is forward? Double-knot scarves catch the beads of my laughter... Tripping over the snow (Snow!) Trying to catch up with my feet (Oh no!) One step ahead of sleep, Full of Merlot (Low low, low!) Ankle Deep... The wind on my cheek... All that exist are this blizzard and me... Ankle Deep... Bittersweet.... Closing my eyes, I cannot compete. I fall up the stairs, Climb into bed, Hide myself under the sheets. I creep like a spider, avoiding the light, becoming a shadow of me. The streetlights are dimming, The Blizzard is winning! Oh, sweet wine! The hour so late... You know, nights like this remind me why it's so hard to find me Why, I always get carried away doing things like Tripping over the snow (Snow!) Trying to catch up with my feet (Oh no!) One step ahead of sleep, Full of Merlot (Low low, low!) Ankle Deep... The wind on my cheek... All that exist are this blizzard and me... Ankle Deep... Bittersweet.... Closing my eyes, I cannot compete.

Happy Pie & Sweater Season 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Call it a wonder I find myself here. Fall is my favourite time of the year do do do... do do do do do do do.... When the wind blows and I'm happy... and I can open my eyes when it's cloudy. I like to wander, I like to drink tea and right now I'm glad to be me do do do do do do do do do do... Though the lake is too cold now for swimming, I don't like to think about it as Winter beginning. I like to wonder, I like to eat pie and look at the stars like I once looked in your eyes do do do do do do do do do do.... Watching the leaves as they fall from a bough, I'm very alone but I like myself now do do do do do do do do do do...

A Light in the Dark 03:24
lyrics
buy track
I don't want to even think about Christmas Until there is snow on the ground. I don't want to even think about Christmas When there is no one around. It's getting dark so early these days. I feel a chilly wind blow. But I can't even start to think about going home... I might have nowhere to go. But the Sun will come out again if you can just hold on until then. That's what it's really all about: Just a light in the dark. I don't want to even think about New Year's in a moment like this. How could I begin to plan for New Year's Eve? There may be no one to kiss. I just don't like to think about the Holidays at other times of the year. And I don't have to now if I don't want to... Since there is nobody here. I don't want to even think about Christmas. And I can do without Christmas this year. But the Sun will come out again if you can just hold on until then. That's what it's really all about: Just a light in the dark.
