With Christmas right around the corner I'd love to hopefully get all of us into the spirit with these lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Ok, who am I kidding, I love them all...but here are the lyrics nonetheless. We can ALL relate to this song at this time of year. I know when I hear it I think of my parents every single year trying to put up the tree of all nights on Christmas Eve after spending most of it with my grandparents in another county. Mom would remind dad ever so gently that there were 2 blue lights together...and the fun began! LOL
