Song I wrote in response to a post in SOTM

Hope you like it...... and I hope it's good enough that someone with musical talent (which I sorely lack ) could
give it a go.

Thanks in advance

Easybeat

for me it isn't  -   I just figured it included Christmas and all the days leading up to it and the New Year following.

There is only one reason for the season !

Peatle  A very meaningful song - the lyrics are terrific ! I think you sounded great as well.  Happy Holidays to you and Maree !!
