Some celebrate the return of the sun
As the great wheel turns in the sky
And so to you "Happy Solstice" I pray
And Blessings to you, and your family
Some celebrate the festival of lights
And the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days
And so to you "Happy Channakah" I pray
And Blessings to you, and your family
And some celebrate the birth of a King
In a manger in a stable spare
And so to you "Merry Christmas" I pray
And Blessings to you, and your family
And some celebrate the power of man
Of love, and brotherhood, and good cheer
And so to you "Seasons Greetings" I pray
And Blessings to you, and your family
And some find this time a cold and dark day
Lonely, berift of their family
And so to you, I invite by my side
Let's create blessings and maybe a new family
For what is a family but those that you love?
Those you hold dear? Those you hold true?
So come raise a glass with me, old friends and new
Let's celebrate our family
For those that you're born to, and those that you choose
And all that you love, and all you hold dear
And so to you "Happy Holidays" I pray
And Blessings to you, and your family
Notes: Original composed for the Lyondemere Yule, 2005. The idea was to have a song that would apply to everyone in the Barony, and still not lose the importance of what each holiday means to different people. This was the first event where, as Lyon Bard, I was required to show up with a new composition.
