It's Christmas Again!

By ajh88 on January 4, 2026 11:56 pm

This is an original Christmas song I wrote and recorded to give as a Christmas gift to my parents. It features me and my 5 year old daughter on vocals (which she did brilliantly well with considering we had to do it in a single session and she didn’t know the song beforehand). It was a bit rushed in order to get it done in time, and there are parts I'd have spent longer on (and perhaps will for next year) but for now this is it.

Yes it’s simple and yes it’s a little cheesy but it was made primarily for my 5 year old to be able to sing to and give input on, like the spoken bookends, which were her idea (I hope he fits down the chimney!). Just tonight added a flute section in the middle 8. Hope it brings a little late Christmas cheer!

(Merry Christmas one and all)

Light up the fire,
Hang those stockings up high,
For the rest of the day
We’ll just sit and reminisce
About Christmas’s gone by,
Don’t be sad that they’re gone,
Cus this time of year brings in lots of good cheer,
So tell everyone,
That it’s almost here

When the snow is falling,
Carollers are calling,
Then, you know it’s Christmas again
I can hear the sleigh bells jingling,
If you feel the magic let it in,
Cus that’s when, you know it’s Christmas again

Light up the fire for me,
(Dancing around the Christmas tree),
Is that mulled wine I can smell?
(With jingly-jangly Christmas bells),
We’ll sit and remember how much
Christmas means to each and all of us,
(Christmas time, a magical time)
I think I’ve been good this year
(Yes you’ve been good)
And it’s (he’s) almost here

When the snow is falling,
Carollers are calling,
Then, you know it’s Christmas again
I can hear the sleigh bells jingling,
If you feel the magic let it in,
Cus that’s when, you know it’s Christmas again

Wonderful sights,
Christmas trees,
All the lights
It’s the best time of the year

Don’t forget to leave a mince pie
And a carrot for the reindeer

And it’s (he’s) almost here

When the snow is falling,
Carollers are calling,
Then, you know it’s Christmas again
I can hear the sleigh bells jingling,
If you feel the magic let it in,
Cus that’s when, you know it’s Christmas again

When the snow is falling,
Carollers are calling,
Then, you know it’s Christmas again
I can hear the sleigh bells,
Are you listening?
Listen to them jingling,
It’s Christmas again.

(I hope he fits down the chimney!)

This feels like a triumphant Christmas. Nice job! I really love it when the background vocals are in full force and the brass comes in towards the end.

Song gives me good vibes! I like the flow.

An Xmas tune in January? Well, I guess you can re-release in December.

Cool tune though, catchy chorus with a real Xmas vibe

About time someone wrote a new Christmas song - kinda sick of the same dozen over and over. This is inspiring, the production is full and shiny, and your daughter's vocals & improv are just the right glitter on top.

Perhaps a bit late, but also, we've only just this week gotten snow.
