Start the fire and trim the tree (la la la la)
Christmas carols and thankful feast (la la la la)
A special night with relatives (la la la la)
Darkness gone and Jesus lives (la la la la)
This Christmas
Thank the Lord
For giving us salvation
Christ is born
Santa Claus is but a myth (la la la la)
Your parents are the ones that give (la la la la)
Love your friends and neighbors too (la la la la)
Before you know, your life is through (la la la la)
Chorus
La la la la la la la la la......
This Christmas
Thank the Lord
For giving us salvation
Lead us not to temptation
The healing of the nation
The light of all creation
Christ is born

The Ones You Love

Where are the instruments?
Where are the musicians?
It's cold, the night is clear.
I only see Christmas lights.
The stars they all shine so bright
but there's no people here.
Where have they gone?
The bells have not been rung.
No feast is on.
Carols have not been sung.
The silent night
too quiet. The stockings hung.
An empty sight
without the ones you love.
I see the Christmas trees
Santas, nativities,
and all the candy canes.
But where are the families?
No parked cars or rapidly
opened electric trains

Jackass Penguins Yucaipa, California
A lo-fi musical outlet. Started in late 1993 in Riverside. Concerts have been nearly nonexistent, but recording has been prolific. Aside from a few locals and casual fans, the band is willingly obscure.
