Lyrics:

In December
We give our gifts
Wishing well to our world
Peace on Earth to
Everyone
A time to be joyful
when all is calm
and all is bright

But why
Does it change with seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?

to Silents Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All

There are times
I can remember
with family and friends
the light of Christmas
radiates
It lights up my memories
the magic of love
we made time...

But why
Does it change with seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?

to Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All

O Come Let Us Adore Him /x3
Oh Night Divine

And those Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabys and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All...

To All
and those Silents Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabys and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All

to Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All

In December

We give our gifts

Wishing well to our world

Peace on earth to

Everyone

A time to be joyful

When all is calm

And all is bright

But why

Does it change with the seasons?

And why can't we just hold on?

To silent nights

Holy nights

And angels singing

Lullabies and heaven

And nature

Singing good will

To all

To all

There are times

I can remember

With family and friends

The light of Christmas

Radiates

It lights up my memories

The magic of love

We made time

But why

Does it change with the seasons?

And why can't we just hold on?

To silent nights

Holy nights

And angels singing

Lullabies and heaven

And nature

Singing good will

To all

To all

O come let us adore him

O come let us adore him

O come let us adore him

Oh night divine

And those silent nights

Holy nights

And angels singing

Lullabies and heaven

And nature

Singing good will

To all

To all

And those silent nights

Holy nights

And angels singing

Lullabies and heaven

And nature

Singing good will

To all

To all

Hey Hollensfamily!

I am so excited to be showing you my first
music video from "A Hollens Family Christmas"

I wrote this song with my friend Anna Gilbert

It's finally becoming, like, clear to me
that I need to start writing for you guys

And I hope this is a great step
in the right direction

And that this song resonates with you

And, if you don't know yet,
I have a Christmas album now out

It has 11 songs,
this is one of the songs on the album

We officially have a world record now for
having the most people ever supporting an album

Having their names on the album with almost 4,300 people

We're also in, currently, as I'm saying this right now,
number 14 in the entire world right now on Google play

So, who knew people bought albums on Google play?

If you do, let's buy it,
because let's get it into the top 10

Because dorky a cappella dad in the top 10

What is that all about?!

We have so many great tracks on this,
we got Carol of the Bells, we got Believe

We have this original that I wrote

We also have an instrumental version
that I'm so excited about

Drummer Boy, Mary Did you Know?, gosh

And I have so many amazing collaborators on this

These are all the tracks that are on it

These songs were all picked by you

You can pick up this album everywhere

You can pick it up on Google play,

You can buy these physical albums
from myself, on my website

You can also get them from cdbaby

But most importantly

This video is to tell you about
that we're doing an enormous competition

So I am putting on a cover competition
with my original "December Song"

I am putting out a bunch of arrangements,
written and MIDI for you to use or not use

You can orchestrate the song
in any way you want

You just have to use the melody
and the lyrics from this song

what I do for a living

Or if you've ever wanted to collaborate with me

Because I get emails all the time

This is your chance

Because if you win, I am flying you to my studio,
we're gonna do a song together

My video team is going to shoot a video with you

And I'm gonna tell the world about you

I'm gonna basically promote you
and showcase you to the world

Because that's what life is all about

It's about sharing what we have,
and you guys have given me this platform

And I want to share it with you

So many different rewards!

For one of the rewards,
I'm gonna be producing a song for you

professional advice about things

There's tons of rewards

The top 10 will all be shown and showcased
in a video on my channel

And I wasn't even talking about the grand prize
where we're gonna actually just do a normal collab

If you haven't seen the lyric video
that I released last week

wouldn't have been possible without my Patrons!
