A Christmas Song (Original Christian Contemporary Christmas song by Alan Franklin)

[rglenn56]

Really like this song. Could I use it in our church service Sunday? If so could I get the chords?

[cefdad]

@rglenn56 Thanks, it is a great song! You will have to ask my brother Alan (youtube user - FR04adas) for the chords. Merry Christmas!

[FR04adas]

[cefdad]

Thank you Dave, Alan and I are glad you liked it and hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[Guitarpicker73]

Great Song! I have been struggling with the "holiday" this year. Christmas has became so commercial, All the stores had Christmas items out before Halloween. Its not about what gifts your giving or getting, it Jesus birthday!!! I had already decided not to put up a tree or lights on the house, I am just putting out a manger seen indoors and out with a Happy Birthday Jesus sign in the yard. Thank you for your song!

Les

[cefdad]

Yep! It gets worse every year, I figure next year the retailers will start on Labor Day. It is absolutely ridiculous. The Happy Holidays greeting is what brought this 'protest' song about. Alan and I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas Guitarpicker73 and we hope you put your sign out.

[ImOfTheWoods]

Absolutely beautiful song, with magical guitar playing and wonderful singing. Brought a tear to my eye. Many stars.

[cefdad]

Thanks you for the nice compliment from Alan and myself. We hope you have a Merry Christmas.

This is a beautiful song, both in terms of its musicality as well as the lyric. It is wonderfully performed and sung. It really does put to perspective why we celebrate at this time of year.

[beachfrontal]

I am not you mum or dad so don't be embarrassed by me, they are right though you have done a super job, and you have to make more musical treats,anything that keeps you busy is good. Dave. The Chief ParoleOfficer Mistletoe County Dept of Corrections, (duty officer) hahahahaha Merry Christmas.

just Kidding folks. real nice song Don't allow them to eradicate CHRIST from Christmas say no to Holiday say yes to Christmas

[cefdad]

LOL!! Thanks Dave from both of us. You look like you have quite the interesting channel, I can't wait to check it out. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[beachfrontal]

I was worried for a few minutes, i was hoping you had a good sense of humor, clearly you have so I will be subbing and friending too have a great CHRISTMAS, I am not a religious nut, but I do insist that the word Christmas should stay, and not be meddled with IT's Merry Christmas!!! and not have a nice holiday, (that gives me the creeps ).

[basicband]

I just love it! Love it. Made my day! Nice, sweet licks, and harmonies. Been sick again, and have so many emails to answer, but I am glad I took a moment to listen. Much love, Tracy

[cefdad]

Tracy - We are too. Thank you very much for searching us out. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Keep the medicine flowing. Merry Christmas, Brian and Alan.

[cefdad]

Thank you very much for the comment and your time. Alan and I really appreciate the support.

[Bflatblues55]

This is a true work of art! I saw Jimmymac sharing a vid and calling you friends and I thought "Yeah, it's gonna be really good" ...but it's worlds better than really good!

What a beautiful message to accompany such clean, clear and warm notes. Thanks for all this, guys; the lyrics, music, voices and playing ... wow.

Cannot WAIT till the next and next and next collab between the brothers here....

Thanks Jimbo, for sharing.

[cefdad]

Alan and I thank you very much for your wonderful comment Bflatblue. There is a lot of warmth on your channel as well. I hope this is the first of many....
