Our Christmas Song

posted Friday December 25th, 2009

In honor of the day, here is a song we’ve been composing all season — “OUR SONG,” Annabelle calls it. Sing it (if you dare) to the tune of “Chestnuts Roasting….” It’s darn close to what Annabelle came up with, particularly at the end, where I got more magnanimous (and tired).

And have a wonderful Christmas, however you celebrate it. (Sophie will be celebrating her new whoopie cushion, a much bigger hit than her new American Girl doll.)

Limoncello festering in a big glass jar,

Jack the dog nipping at your toes.

Yuletide carols being sung in the car

And folks dressed like it’ll never snow.

Everybody knows a Sophie and some mistletoe, gets you kisses all night long.

Annabelle, with her eyes all aglow, hopes you all will sing along.

We know that Santa’s on his way.

He’s bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.

And every little girl is gonna spy,

To see if Lulu (the cat) really knows how to fly.

And so we’re offering this simple phrase, from kids from 6 to almost 9,

Although it’s been said many times, many ways, Happy Hanukkah!

And Merry Christmas, too.

  1. Maybe Lulu knows Tabatha too? ;) :::bravo–applause–standing ovation:::

  2. Mel Tormé, who wrote “The Christmas Song”, was Jewish and, like Annabelle, a child prodigy. He would love the Silverman arrangement.. :-)
