about

We had a jam-packed 48 hours with the extended family for the holidays. Absolutely no toy snakes were harmed in the making of this song.

lyrics

Family
It’s where I wanna be
Holidays they're calling me
To pack up the car and head east to see
Family
In Cary and Raleigh
It only takes a total hours of three
To get from home to where there’s family

It’s that time of year
Full of good tidings and cheer
Even COVID’s not strong enough
to separate us long enough
We’ve worn out masks as some insisted
Tried to keep a six feet distance
Just so when Christmas was over
Family could have us over

Family
It’s where I wanna be
Holidays they’re calling me
To pack up the car and head east to see
Family
Pink dip and manicotti
Pop a bottle of bourbon whiskey
And salads made of only green beans

They say it’s the ties that bind
And with a little bit of love you’ll find
That those who sweat together stick together
Especially in this springlike weather
It’s the memories that will last
Long after the days have passed
Wouldn’t trade it for a single thing
These moments I get to hang with

Family
It’s where I wanna be
Holidays they’re calling me
To pack up the car and head east to see
Family
Even more presents under the tree
But the best gift just may be
Post-dinner entertainment from my niece Riley

(I forgot the instructions. I'm on the stage. But no one comes on the stage, or they will not get a sticker then. Only if you don't come on the stage you will get a sticker. So tell me who doesn't listen. And if you fall off, you will land on the stage. And that's okay. But you will get a coin. No, no, be quiet. Be quiet, I said, look at me. So - no toy snakes, promise me. So, are you ready for the show?)
