about

A story of a family Christmas & the power of loss. Written for my mothers passing & the gift of familial peace that ensued after years of upheaval. A story of love & of broken bones. An honest & realistic tale of the Yuletide. 50% of all proceeds go to MacMillan Cancer Support.

lyrics

We broke a lot of dishes up & smashed a lot of wishes up this Christmas,
And peace and love and harmony vacated the vicinity too.
The teeth, the fist, the ministry. Repeating ancient history.
No mistletoe. Go toe to toe and give that Judas kiss to me.
We'll tear the decorations down and turn that smile upside down this year.

Now 30 strong come marching on along the little path to Grandma's house.
To laugh or shout, or help or fight, or bicker, bleed, or measure height this year.
To show their love, to show their might. I'm in the wrong, you're in the right.
I'll say that thing just out of spite.
I know you were afraid I might,
And there won't be a silent night, or any kind of Holy light this year,
And Punchy Joe broke the jaw
Of Sour Dave, on account of his flaw.

This Christmas. This crazy Christmas. I smell burning.
I think the family's on fire.

The one who suffered & succumbed to her wounds released
A dove borne gifted miracle upon the wings of peace,
And in that moment absence spoke into the broken hearts of folk this year.

And Punchy Joe, with a pugilists woe,
Shook his fists and cried in the snow.

This Christmas.
