December is Raucus (Ninth Song: It Doesn't Look Like Christmas)

Here is a serious Christmas song. In case you're wondering, no...we don't have a Christmas tree in our house and it is still T-Shirt weather here (or as I like to say: "It's not even sweater weather", say, it is so fun)!! :-D

It Doesn't Look Like Christmas

White snow isn't falling from the sky
But there is no need to ask why
Because we're relaxin in paradise
Under a sun shining so bright

It doesn't look like Christmas now
But we celebrate it anyhow
Its not the time of year that brings me so much cheer
Its you and all of us here

Outside the trees still have their leaves
And inside there's no Christmas tree
But that's not what it takes for me
The friends around is all I need


The snow is way to cold
And I can't stand those heavy coats
I don't need some silly sled
To make this the best year yet

December is Raucus (Eighth Song: Just Another Christmas Song)

Warning: This is a completely random and stupid Christmas song. You're welcome in advance.
Just Another Christmas Song

Its Christmas time
Our favorite time of year
Its brings us close together
For one day so pure 1`

But why...did I not get what I wanted for christmas

All I wanted

Red and Brown horse with Gold tinted saddle
One nice canoe with two big paddles
A large mansion with room for us
and a silly looking double decker bus

So why, did I not get this stuff
I don't think it was too much

But this Christmas, All I got was

A hand made sweater with my name on the back
A blue coffee mug with rather large scratch
Three pairs of socks that don't fit at all
Come on Santa, didn't you hear my call

So why? Did you really think I needed
I feel I've been short sheeted
This Christmas

December is Raucus (Seventh Song: Other Side of the Road)

This was the only song I actually successfully completed down in Mexico. I'm not entirely sure what to think of it. I wrote it with the ukelele in D.

The Other Side of the Road

The world on the other side of the road
Frightens me to the bone

What happens over there
Or are you to scared to share

There was ah killing the other day
But no one had anything to say

Everyone in on the run
They're having too much fun

I look up to see blue skies overhead
Not a metaphor for the blood just shed

People just so happy to be here
So happy that they just block their ears

December is Raucus (Sixth Song: A Letter in the Mail)

Wow, I'm a nerd :). Hopefully you'll be able to devine what this one is about...

A Letter in the Mail

This summer has been so frightening
I think I actually caused the lightening
I've been completely out of control...

I somehow caused my mom to levitate
I was so angry she was being so lame
I had not a clue what was going on...

But last week I turned eleven
I was so happy I could've been in heaven
I got a letter in the mail...

"We are pleased to inform you
You have a place at our school
Please look inside for a list
Your term begins soon"

I've no idea why I'd need an eye of newt
Or what the heck's a blast-ended skrewt
But I don't care now that I'm a wizard...

My friend's used to make fun of me
For having all these crazy dreams
But it all makes sense to me now...

I got a letter in the mail...
"We are pleased to inform you
You have a place at our school
Please read the list that provided
Your term begins soon"

I think that's alright?
