You'll be sending me hate-mail for even saying this, but for whatever reason I thought of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" when I read this. So that would be my only suggestion: at all costs, avoid having it sound like Mariah's song. Her voice reminds me of someone taking a cheese grater to a piece of angle iron ... your song deserves better.

EB  I can imagine you doing a Nat King Cole song  your voice will be perfect.  I couldnt come up with chords just these  hopefully funny  Nat King Cole type lyrics.

                                                                                                                                      Here in New Zealand it aint snowing heaven knows..
                                                                                                                                                I love my family  yes heaven knows.

Now if that doesnt work how about a Rambing Crosby song         

I'm Dreaming Of A Hot Christmas.
With lots of  Ram Bling for my  Rose.

So much appreciated, Peatle! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to yourself also. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Chordie Universe, that we have all appreciated your music, your poetry, your humor, and the in-depth background you often provide us with about so much of the world's great music. You're truly deserving of "The Loremaster" title, and we're fortunate to have you among us.

Another great topic, Bill ... as always. My main block to playing more than I do is prioritizing, and unfortunately that puts playing guitar well down the list. I put everything in three columns mentally, to make sure important things don't get ignored:

1) Things I mustdo
Earning income, maintaining household, cars, etc., looking after my wife and family, eat, sleep, etc.

2) Things I shoulddo
Visiting relatives or people in hospital, personal health stuff, church responsibilities, working on my next book, etc.

3) Things I wantto do
Reading, fishing, kayaking, wood working, watching basketball & football (soccer), listening to music, and yes ... playing guitars

While this doesn't give me as much time to play as I'd like (or need) it does keep me hungry to play, which is always a good thing.
