Story behind the song
Written for an open mic Christmas party held in our songwriters forum. As the hostess of this event, just for fun, as each person would say 'I'm in' I would tag them with a Christmas nickname. I then wrote this song about them and our Christmas party. A total of 33 members got in on the fun and they are all right here in my song. My good friend Dennis Railey undertook the herculean task of putting it to music and singing it and I was very pleased with what he did with it. Hope you enjoy it.

Verse 1
We’re having a Christmas party at a place called TSF
Santa Paws will soon be here along with all his elves
It’s a ‘one of a kind’ shindig and you’re welcome one and all
So come on in ..we’re rockin-out.. and having ourselves a ball
Verse 2
Frosty song-man's writin' songs and so is Rein'dear' Red
Twinklin' Tricia's on keyboard…on piano's Ho-Ho Jeff
Christmas Turkey and Jolly John are pickin' 'm guitar strings
Knight Dennis is whoopin-it-up on drum, later Jingle Belly will sing
Chorus
There’s so much fun a-going on here, we can barely contain ourselves
Lotta good music and pickin' and grinin' and songs of sweet Noel
No other place I wanna-be right now, than right here with you folks
Singin' and dancin' merr-i-ly and crackin' our funniest jokes
Verse 3
Mistletoe Tony is having a blast, as well as Rudolph Dave
Egg Nog Rob’s a-dancin' a jig with a sweetie named Candy Fame
Mrs. Claws and Granny Claws, the old-broads of this here gig
Along with an Elf known here as Trot, are hittin' the punch-bowl..BIG!!!
Verse 4
Rockin' Ryan’s whistlin' Christmas tune’s, Comet Art is a-hummin' along
Pretty Paper Amy and Carolin’ Randy are singin' us a Christmas song
Silver Bells Debbie and Dasher John…decoratin' our Christmas tree
Dancer Reindeer Dave just arrived in his jeep and he’s slinging mud all over me!
Chorus
There’s so much fun a-going on here, we can barely contain ourselves
Lotta good music and pickin' and grinin' and songs of sweet Noel
No other place I wanna-be right now, than right here with you folks
Singin' and dancin' merr-i-ly and crackin' our funniest jokes
Verse 5
Joyful Cowboy Charles of the rodeo and his ol' buddy Deck The Darrell
Are steady hangin' up mistletoe and tryin' to yodel Christmas carols
Twelve Days of James, our hostin'-man, is whippin' us some lunch
Hey! I know you’re kinda busy James, but I could use more punch!
Verse 6
Here comes li’l Danny-Drummer-Boy and who’s that hot-on-his-heels
Oh I see its Hannah Claws Helper and ol' Blitzen-Mike Reindeer
Snowflake’s finally made it too and so has Jolly St. Nick
And if I’ve done my head-count right, this party’s now complete!
Chorus
Yeah!!!!
There’s so much fun a-going on here, we can barely contain ourselves
Lotta good music and pickin' and grinin' and songs of sweet Noel
No other place I wanna-be right now, than right here with you folks
Singin' and dancin' merr-i-ly and crackin' our funniest jokes
Verse 7
Talk:
Hey, is that ol' Holiday Kevin and Donner Donna I see coming through the door?
Welcome to the party guys!!!!!!
Uh-oh, who's that coming up the walkway right behind 'em? Oh! It Must Be Gerald!
