Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this site and without generative AI involvement. Every sound recording on this site is the product of its professional original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the vocalist, updating the production, and sometimes adding another genre (with the melody changed only derivatively to accommodate the additional genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require any song they license to have been 100% human written. All underlying musical compositions on this site were 100% human written.

Lyrics

VERSE
Hello, mom; gosh, it’s good to see you
Hey there, dad; you’re a sight for sore eyes
You’re both looking good; how was the airplane ride?

VERSE
The kids are well; they can’t wait to see you
Yeah, Donna’s fine; her folks got in last night
Sure, we got a tree; we’ve done it up just right

CHORUS
It’s a wonderful joy at Christmas time
Knowing family and friends are doing fine
Getting better each day by God’s grand design
There’s so much to be thankful for at Christmas time

VERSE
I’m doin’ great; I got a big Christmas bonus
I’ll get your bags; the car’s just right outside
We love our new home; it’s just a very short ride

Repeat CHORUS/VERSE
Yeah, church is tonight; it'sthe Christmas eve cantata
They still let me sing; Donna still leads the choir
Then we’ll open presents around the Christmas fire

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
There’s so much to be thankful for at Christmas time
