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
