About a husband alone at Christmas while wife was serving in the military in Iraq. Rough demo
I write all kinds of music from gospel to country, comedy to childrens songs as well as instrumentals. I play guitar (acoustic and lead) and sing with a count
I was born in the mid 1950's, and began playing guitar when I was 14 years old. I have played with many of the early (70's & 80's)country singers. I wrote my first song when I was 15 and now have over 120, from gospel to country. I love the challenge of writing a song that people can relate to, yet to say it in a brand new way. I play with a local group called Common Bond and jam whenever I can find some others pickers.

Story behind the song
This is a song that I wrote just before Christmas 2003. I watched a segment on tv about a man here in the states, whose wife was stationed in Iraq and he and his two toddlers were talking about how lonely Chrismas would be this year without her here. I hope you like it, and I hope all of our troops make it home safe before next Christmas. A big THANK YOU to the ones who are protecting us here. I appreciate you guys for all you do.
Lyrics
It won't seem like Christmas 1 I wrapped all the presents, put a name on each one, Then I hung a few lights on the house. I put up your stocking right there next to mine, I sent some Christmas cards out. I listen to the carols the radio plays, I set up a small Christmas tree. Everywhere there is laughter, joy fills the air, But it don't feel like Christmas to me. Chorus It won't seem like Chrismas without you, I wish things were the way they used to be. I spend all my time just thinking about you, It don't seem like Christmas to me. 2 I remember that winter we got that deep snow, How we went out and played like we were kids. You looked so funny going down Noble hill, Like a snowball rolling end over end. Remember last Christmas I bought you that necklace You wore it for the whole world to see. You're protecting our country, but I sure am lonely, It won't seem like Christmas to me. Bridge I know you're coming home soon, but I'm sure missing you, It hurts so much to think you're so far away. As I unplug the Christmas lights, and spend another silent night, I pray you'll have a safe Christmas day. (c)2003
