I wanted to compose a Christmas song that sounded like a traditional old fashioned carol. This is the result.

lyrics
In the town of Bethlehem a baby softly sleeps
Animals are gathered 'round, a vigil do they keep
Mary was the virgin mild who gave life to the holy child
And now today we gather close our kin to celebrate
Seasons come and seasons go
But every generation knows
The spirit of this most auspicious holiday
From me and mine to you and yours
A wonderful Christmas Day
We tell the tales as time goes on of kings and queens of old
We light the lights on winter nights with love to warm the cold
As snow falls gently on the ground
The air fills with nostalgic sounds
From me and mine, to you and yours
A wonderful Christmas Day
