Backstory:

Jessie, Carrie and I came together last summer or early fall and talked about writing a Christmas song. Jessie was really into it because she has some amazing Christmas stories with her family from when she was growing up. She decided to go into the "decorating the Christmas tree" story because it meant so much for her. And that is what we ended up writing about.

Lyrics:

                                                  

Decorating That Tree
Jessie Treneer, Carrie DeMaeyer, John Cirillo

V1
First Sunday in December 
It’s a day to remember 
Mark my calendar every year 

We put up our Christmas tree 
Oh- what a sight to see 
I guarantee 
That you’ll hear

Dean Martin vinyl spinning 
Silent night we’re all hanging 
A piece of our own history

CHORUS

Every single decoration
Is a Christmas celebration
Of a special memory
Homemade Santas, silver bells
And the stories that they tell 
Of my family
Yeah, it’s our wonderful, colourful life 
decorating that tree

V2
Homemade candy canes
Handprints with crooked names
Peeking out between those blinking lights

Little presents on a string
And the tinsel twinkling
Looking magical & bright 

Grandma’s angel made of gold 
Broken wings but she still holds 
The stories of a 100 winter nights

BRIDGE
As the years go on
The traditions still holds strong
In blue and gold and silver, red and green
