After five years of trying to write a Christmas song, I have finally done it!!

It was so hard to come up with an original idea. I got a challenge from a FAWM skirmish
to write about a "smell memory" and that led me to this song!

This is the first song I've done in a while, I got side-tracked by my photography, then my
computer went to tech heaven and then I had a depression of sorts. I finally dragged out
the Tascam now that I have a working computer once again and here's the best I can do, I'm a bit out of practice in playing, singing and recording!

I send wishes and hugs to all of my JPF family, enjoy whatever holiday you celebrate, remember the one thing that keeps us all together is the music and I always feel like I've come home when I check in. Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy to my musical, songwriting family.

Peppermint Christmas

Holiday magic is everywhere
and minty smells lace the air
Gingerbread men wear icing vests
their peppermint buttons make them look their best

crushed candies on cookies look so delicious
but first I will eat some cool mint kisses


chorus
Peppermint in my tea
in my chocolate
on a cool breeze
bringing back sweet memories
of a wonderous peppermint Christmas



Each branch is heavy with candy canes
running along Christmas Lane
Red and white ornaments on the trees
this one is tagged just for me

There's nothing like a peppermint so sweet
and a holiday that's good enough to eat



chorus
Peppermint in my tea
in my chocolate
on a cool breeze
bringing back sweet memories
of a wonderous peppermint Christmas

Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it...
