In November, I accepted a songwriting challenge over at the Songwriting Scene blog. I had been wanting to write a new Christmas song, and figured if I committed to it in a public forum, I'd have to actually deliver.
And Lo! - a Christmas miracle has indeed taken place - I finished it and recorded it before the deadline. The song is dedicated to our nation's military personnel, stationed far from home, and to the families who miss them.
Christmas Carol Wishes

Wish you could see the first snowfall
The lights upon the tree
But we’ll miss you most of all
When we gather round to sing
The First Noel and Silver Bells
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
You’re in our prayers
And Christmas Carol wishes
This Christmastime
We wish you a Silent Night
Angels on High
A midnight clear and bright
These Christmas Carol Wishes
Are sent with all our love
Hoping next year you’ll be here
To sing with us
Joy to the World - Auld Lange Syne
Faithful friends to gather round
O Holy Night Divine
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
May you find comfort and joy
In yuletide melodies
And when your day is done
A heavenly peace
This Christmastime
We wish you a Silent Night
Angels on High
A Midnight Clear and bright
These Christmas Carol Wishes
Are sent with all our love
Hoping next year you’ll be here
To sing with us
