The best part about the holidays is how everyone in the family gets together. Even if we have to fly across the ocean, or cross the border, or brave Toronto traffic, we all make it our priority to be together. When we were kids, the magic was in the presents, now as we have become adults, we cherish the loving memories that we make and the rare occasion where we can all be under one roof at the same time. This song was written to reflect what the holidays mean to us.
Our loving thoughts go out to those who may not have the same opportunities, may you find joy in the people who surround you during the holidays, after all, we are all family.
lyrics
Deck the Halls With Love
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Hear your giving spirit calling, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let your light shine onto others, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Come and join us in the chorus, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
CHORUS
Deck the halls with light
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-light
Deck the halls with love
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-love
Love and kindness is a mirror, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You can see yourself in others, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
The gift we get is what we’ve given, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Hope and love are the beginning, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
CHORUS
Quickly come the resolutions, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Resolve to be the worlds solution, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Think of how you’ll make a difference, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Change requires our assistance, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
BRIDGE
We’re lucky to be in this house together
Wrapped gifts have no hold on our hearts, our love is much better.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
CHORUS
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaaa.

My goal is to be silly, take life lightly and share my gifts with as many people as possible. I encourage you to do
something you consider to be outrageous and fun today, I try to do that every day, it's my way of keeping life exciting. P.s, smile, because you are awesome, and if you haven't smiled today, then its time to make some changes!...more
