Strummerboy Bill .... I think there is song waiting to be written in that message of yours up there. "Whenever I get emotional, instead of "crying" I like to say "I'm raining" "and let me tell y'all, it's a "monsoon of happiness" in my little studio right now." 
Anyway, Chordie wouldn`t be the same without you and hearing about your lovely Dondra. All the very best for Christmas , the New Year and may 2018 be a GOOD year for you both. Blessings to you both

Here is my last song for this month of Christmas songs .... it was a challenge and i found it hard to find chords that suited my vocals as it is quite low in places and high in other places. Anyway, here is my attempt at it.

Re: DECEMBER 2017 FSOTM - CHRISTMAS SONGS (57 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow just got through listening to them all .... so great to see so many entries
zurf .... I didn`t know that song ~Christmas for cowboys~ yet i know most of Jonn Denvers music, must be one I missed along the line somewhere. Nice cover by you, suits your voice, easy listening guitar.
Peatle .... I like your drawings! You talked about the drawings on the wall and what they meant, what about the bottom one on the wall, you didn`t talk about that one? Great to see you join in and a Merry Christmas to you too.
Also Peatle, in your second post, that is another great drawing (although I had the privilage of a sneak preview on this one ) The way you put the drawing together with your writing and then to put it together with music and you singing along, and talking was very cool... very original, i like it.
neophytte .....Santa Baby ...... your wife was awesome and has a great voice! She sang this song so well, she nailed it! Get her on here more often! Your guitar playing along with her was good too, what a team.
Also neophytte .... If I saw those spiders I would be running (in my case limping) as far away as I could in the other direction! lol
Tigljk ..... glad you put your song in here that you wrote! Its a great song!
beamer ... thanks for the correct link to the Ramones song, not sure what happened either.
easybeat .... A well written song by you ~Kiwi Christmas~, great the ukulele group performed it for you too.
mojo ...... ~Merry Christmas from the family~ .... never ever heard that song before so I went and listened to it. You covered it well, great job.
