Ladies and Gents….

Is it too early to mention the C word 🎄🌲🧑🏻‍🎄🎅🏼🤶🏻🇨🇽🤩🤩😂😇

A long time ago in another forum life we used to have a Christmas comp every year so I propose we have one this year and cheer everyone up….who is in ?

Any style , any take , anything you like….

I am posting this so everyone has a chance to take part….cmon let get in the spirit 🤪

Ho ho ho !

Entires will be given a staggered slot from December the first ….our very own forum advent calendar…. before Santa himself reveals his favourite elf on Christmas Eve 🎅🏼

P.S. will be back to review later in the week 😇

@kafla ,

Bah humbug, I wrote my Christmas masterpiece a couple of years ago when I was supremely happy. I'm  now way too miserable to spread the gift of Christmas cheer.

@kafla

and so.............

Wonderful Life

Don’t want to sigh, don’t want my sadness to pervade.
Don’t want the world to see a broken man,
May I exit this parade?     

This Christmas Eve, when lights are low,
When snow falls all around,
I’ll ask the Lord for love to be       
where sadness can't be found.

It’s wonderful life. I’m tired of waiting.
May angels come to walk amongst the meek.

Don’t want to take, don’t want to bathe in luxury.
Don’t need performance cars, no trip to Mars
I need you here with me.

The kindest words, the gift of love
is all that I desire.
I’ll be your George Bailey. Hey, set me free.
I’m well known to the choir.

It’s a wonderful Life.  I’m tired of waiting.
May angels come to walk amongst the meek.
It’s a wonderful life, observe the constellation.
The outlook here for stars to shine, is bleak.

If I should ask you to stop me from drowning, would you take my hand?
May the harps guide me home.
If I should tell you I can’t face the pain of my time here on earth,
for what it’s worth,

It’s a wonderful Life.  I’m tired of waiting.
May angels come to walk amongst the meek.
It’s a wonderful life, observe the constellation.
The outlook here for stars to shine, is bleak.

It's a wonderful life.
It's a wonderful life.

There's always a slim possibility I might come up with a holiday song. If I do, I might even post it. Who knows? I'm so erratic these days. I remember when I was so active on the forum, logging in at *least* once a day and posting feedback right and left. Ah, the good ol' days when my brain was functioning at a higher level....

I haven´t been on the forum for a few years now but I do have a total Christmas cracker up my sleeve so more than happy to stick my oar in here  :)

I'm not in if it's a compitition, but if it's just a challenge, I might be into it. If I can't come up with anything new, I also have a couple of oldies lying around. :D

Not sure I can record and get it ready by Dec 1st. The song I have in mind is quite complicated and it´s going to take a while getting my head around that before being able to record as the tempo changes in the song are quite complicated.

Unless anyone wants to do me a favour... :D

I'm with Suzy on this one.  It would be nice to have a number of Christmas songs gracing the forum this December, just not in competition with each other.  As I write an idea has flashed into my head so you never know.  I could decide to explore creative ideas to write something new.

Sorry people…I did write comp but it is of course just a writing to a theme challenge….

And @MartynRich you have until 24th to post….1st is only to set a deadline for participation 🍾🍾

It looks like the take-up on this one is pretty low so if there is no appetite then I think we will leave it....

Obviously, feel free to post a Christmas song on the board if you feel the festive mood :)

Hi @MartynRich

Not sure…but I think Spitfire Audio had a free “Christmas” vst as part of their “labs” series…that might be worth a look?

I skipped over it, thinking it possibly had “cringe-mas” written all over it, but I may be completely mistaken 😀
