jamboree.

this is probably my favorite Christmas song -- it's simple and perfect and comes straight from my favorite Christmas album (the only one that beats out Sufjan) which is a Starbucks collection of Christmas songs called "Hi Fidelity Holiday".

i know, i know. it's lame to put song lyrics in a blog, but i really love these and they kind of make Christmas for me, so deal.

Jingle Bell Jamboree

Keb' Mo'

Christmas time, it comes but once a year

bells are ringing and the family's all here

all the children want to help decorate the tree

and there's lots of nice presents under there for you and me

oh, santa clause is coming, it's a jingle bell jamboree

mama's in the kitchen, papa's in there to (yeah that's right)

well hidey, uncle bud, hidey hidey how are you?

we gonna play some more records and a few CDs

or you can go in the other room and see what's on TV

oh, santa clause is coming, it's a jingle bell jamboree

well it's alright if there's no stockings on the wall

'cause what matters most is peace on earth and good will to all

everybody's got something that a baby needs

they say the more you give, the more you recieve

don't worry if you can't give nothing at all

it's the state of mind that matters most of all

we'll all get together, let's all get together for a jingle bell jamboree

it's a jingle bell jamboree

we go house to house, singing

come all ye faithful...it's a jingle bell jamboree

i'm dreaming of a...jingle bell jamboree

silent night, holy...jingle bell jamboree

it's a jingle bell jamboree
