Tracklist

  1. maybe it will snow 2:15 » lyrics
    maybe it will snow, snow on us this year
    i know there’s not much chance
    i can’t help but hope, and it’s been pretty cold

    there’s some ice in the backyard and we’re wearing our coats
    this may be the desert but it's still gettin' cold
    i can heat some water and make us a treat
    one cup of hot chocolate for you and one for me

    maybe it will snow, snow on us this year
    i know we don't have plows
    it would be nice, even if the city shuts down

    maybe it will snow, snow on us this year
  2. christmas time is coming 3:17 » lyrics
    christmas time is coming, you can hear the sleigh bells
    and people are finding warmer clothes, scarfs and coats and caps
    and lights are shining, different from the streetlights and city lights
    and we can see our breath when it’s cold enough

    Maybe things will change this christmas
    we can always hope to have a little snow
    maybe things will change this christmas
    we can always hope to be a little closer
    to the life we’re working on

    christmas time is coming, we’ve started listening
    to songs we know from years before with bells and jangles and sing-a-longs
    we try to plan these days, because we have all spread across the states
    wherever we go, we will make our home

    christmas time is coming, you can hear the sleigh bells ring ting
    people are finding warmer places, and talking to old acquaintances
    and lights are shining, different from the streetlights and city lights
    and we might see some snow if it's cold enough
  3. there won't be any zombies on christmas 3:14 » lyrics
    you know, there's still time, but i think it's safe to say
    there won't be any zombies on christmas
    i know we should expect it all the time and be ready any time
    but it really looks like there won't be any zombies on christmas
    i had a dream last night about the crazies
    and it's safe to say they are scarier than zombies
    but don't you worry about locking the barn
    or teaching your family how to shoot a gun
    because i'm pretty sure there won't be any zombies on christmas

    of course, next year, who knows, we live on an ever-changing planet full of possibilities
    and we can't throw out any possibility, no matter how unlikely
    but are you going to unplug the lights in your trees and plants
    and stay home the night of thanksgiving instead of camping out
    outside your favorite electronics store
    if you do that, well, my friends, they have already won
    but it really looks like there won't be any zombies on christmas

    but just in case, you should probably keep an eye
    on your weird cousin or your uncle, or aunt
    or your brother who seems just a little more sleepy than usual
    but don't shoot 'em till you know for sure
    and don't go spoiling Christmas dinner, no
    there won't be any zombies on christmas
    but if there are you shoot 'em in the head, you shoot 'em in the head
    you shoot 'em in the head, you shoot 'em in the head
  4. never see you for christmas 1:19 » lyrics
    merry christmas, i miss you when you're not around
    merry christmas, i miss you when you're not around
    and i miss you even more as the days go by
    and we go on and on and on and on and on and on and on
    and i wait and i wait and i wait and i wait
    till the day i can tell you with a stuffed teddy bear
    or a box of candy, or my favorite book
    or a sunny day real estate cd

    and another year goes by, i never see you around this time
    but i don't mind, there's always next year
  5. a giraffe for christmas 2:14 » lyrics
    well it's christmas eve, you're looking under the tree
    for that something special from me
    you're trying to be sneaky, but i am sneaky too
    and that is how i snuck up on you

    but you won't find your present here, and i just have to laugh
    because on christmas morning, i'll take you out front
    and show you your christmas giraffe

    i got you a giraffe for christmas, just like you always wanted
    i know what to feed it, we have a place to keep it
    so i got you a giraffe for christmas

    well it's christmas morn, you're looking pretty sad
    i made you breakfast but i still feel bad
    i tried to surprise you, but i made you cry
    let's go out front, just cover up your eyes

    'cause you won't find your present here and i just feel so bad
    but it's not a car, and it's not a truck
    why, look! it's your christmas giraffe
  6. hot chocolate 3:03 » lyrics
    christmas nights are pretty
    they make our homes shine
    driving through strangers’ neighborhoods
    to see their lights
    there’s nothing i’d rather do than have a
    wonderful christmas with you

    not quite as cold as we want it
    if the snow comes i would love it
    wrap up a gift to you from me
    and put it under the christmas tree
    there’s nothing i’d rather do than have a
    wonderful christmas with you

    up too late and i want to believe
    santa will come when i’m asleep
    made my list and i’ve been nice
    and i think we’ve got it right

    we drink hot chocolate and look at houses
    i couldn’t picture this holiday without us
    the lights go out when it gets late
    until tomorrow i can hardly wait
    there’s nothing i’d rather do than have a
    wonderful christmas with you
