Warren and I wrote this one three years ago. I wrote the music - Warren wrote the lyrics and sang.
 
I played guitar and did the production work, Warren sang, his lovely wife Ruth did the speaking part and Rich Arizmendi played the sax solo on this one.
 
(On a side note, I wrote this song using my mother's name - Mary. Well, my mother Mary is now 82 and in the middle of a divorce from her abusive 89 year old husband. Good ridden to him, our family will not miss him - I hope he has a very merry and lonely Christmas in his one room trailer.)

Merry Christmas to all of you.

I remember this... one of my favorites... I love the sound of the percussion and guitar... Warren's vocals are sublime... and Rich's sax is candy... this really is lovely guys...

I remember this one. I must say.....It's still awesome! 
 
Sorry to hear about your mom's bad relationship. Glad she is moving on. 
 
"Mary Christmas", Markybro, Warren and Ruth...and of course, Mary.

Merry Christmas to all.  I am going out the door to be in the high mountains for Christmas.  Life seems to go much quicker as you get much older!  I haven't been on the board but am having the time of my life babysitting my 31/2 year old and 3 month old grandsons.  I just had the routine down with the 3 year old and along came the baby.  I am blessed to be able to spend so much time with those kids.  I worked very hard when my kids were young and didn't have too much time to watch them grow every day.  It is a blessing and I'm thankful.  Soooo.. Merry Christmas to all and I'll be back in the desert in a week or so.  I won't be able to comment because there is hardly any cell phone service let alone internet!  I want to thank my partner Mark Cline (CLEAN) for all the music we have done together.  This Christmas song says how we feel.  I couldn't ask for a better partner.  MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE BOARD BROTHERS AND SISTERS!

Be real cool, and get real high up in those mountains Warren... but please, no tumbling down...
Merry Christmas Pugtones...  

Yeah, I remember liking this a lot..still do.
 
As Frank said - Merry Christmas guys!

I remember this, as well. Still has a good quality sound to it, maybe even better. Tis the season to be with Mary and sing some Christmas song and to thank her for being such a good mom. As for the step dad, well, you can always just pray for him and hopefully one day he might get it. Love one another, that's what everyday is all about. You all did a great job on this piece. Merry Christmas to you all.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

What a lovely gospel-like song for this season.  Kudos to all involved in this wonderful song.  Merry Christmas, Mark!

Good work guys! Love the guitar tones and vocals a lot. I haven't been around long enough to have heard this before...great message and I hope you all have a great Christmas with your families.

 I don't recall ever hearing this one Mark. Has  very original sound yet still retains a Christmas song feel. Very fresh sounding and welcome among all of the other more common Christmas songs.
