It's a War on Christmas Music: Tom Dyer Words: Joni Brill & Tom Dyer It’s a war It’s a war Head to your holiday bomb shelters It's a war on Christmas We're gonna arm St. Nick and all his elves It's a war on Christmas Ho Ho Ho you can't blame the Buddhist, the Muslims or the Jews Ho Ho Ho No this phony a war was created by Fox News They'll be no more popcorn chains It's a war on Christmas Hanging from the trees It's a war on Christmas No more cups of hot chocolate, It's a war on Christmas Warm apple cider or exotic teas It's a war on Christmas Ho Ho Ho Forget your childhood memories the ones from long ago Ho Ho Ho of gentle family gatherings, of mittens, hats and snow Ho Ho Ho don't worry about corporate profits They'll get theirs anyway Ho Ho Ho it's the end of senseless worship of this Jesus holiday It's the end of black Friday And the crowded shopping malls The long lines to visit Santa Claus and Joyful carolers singing Deck the Halls No more stars hanging from the trees No houses lit in colored lights so bright They're taking away your Christmas decorations And declaring this a silent night

about

A MusiCares benefit album

credits

released December 1, 2018

And now, it is time for the comp, A Green Monkey Christmas For Martians Up On Mars!
As you have no doubt ascertained having purchased and listened to The True Olympians single several times, the title comes from the final line of “Christmas Train”. Martians need love too. This October I put out the word as I do each year and this year we have 18 slices of Christmas love for you - a new record! We have some of our regulars, some old friends coming back to visit and some new kids that just want to jingle. You know - the usual. As always, all the money we take in from this album goes to MusiCares, a great charity that helps music people in need. We don’t keep a dime. I have sent folks that needed help to MusiCares and they got helped. Straight up. So we are happy to make our (and yours) little bit of difference. And, thanks to everyone who contributed a song this year – we hope you will do it again!

I think this is a great opportunity for all of you to play “battle of the bands” with all your friends at this year’s Christmas party! Step one. Get everyone there. Step two. Party up! Step three. Hit the dance floor and do the St. Nick boogey. Step four. Vote. It’s just that simple.
