I love music perfoming the Kelly Family group very much. They had its origins in May 1965 when Daniel Kelly Sr. and his first wife Joanne left their native United States with their children Danny, Caroline, Kathy and Paul, and settled in Spain, where Daniel opened an antique shop. After Kelly and his wife Joanne separating Kelly entering a relationship with Barbara Ann Suokko, who he was to marry in 1970. Daniel Kelly and Barbara had eight children, with the eldest, John born in 1967 and the youngest, Angelo, in 1981. The children were home-schooled and lessons in music and dance.
Oh, give me a noose I can hang from the tree
I need no excuse to end my misery
This holiday season is all the more reason to die
Oh, pull up a stool and an ear to a fool
Once found some solace in the season of yule
This holiday season is all the more reason to cry
I put on my mittens, one green and one red
And I walk alone where they bury the dead
The snow falls as I breathe
It’s a Gothic, death-rock Christmas eve
The bottle is empty
The sleigh has a flat
The stripper in my bed is ugly and fat
Her tassels are tangled and what’s worse
My jingle won’t jangle
This time of the year makes me sick to my guts
All this good cheer is a pain in the nuts
When it’s your career to be down in the dumps
Tidings of comfort and joy really suck
I feel like St. Nicholas is pulling my leg
This thing we call “Christmas” is a sorry black plague
This holiday season is
All the more reason to die
This is my favorite Christmas song. The lyrics and melody of this charming song were written and composed by Irving Berlin. The song was first introduced in the 1942 musical Holiday Inn starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Twelve years later Crosby did a semi-remake of the film “White Christmas” and it has remained as quite possibly the most enduring rendition to the White Christmas

Irving Berlin wrote over 400 songs, such as No Business Like Show Business, Easter Parade, and the widely popular God Bless America. But of course, the song White Christmas still remains as this songwriter’s most beloved melody.
Most people reckon that Irving Berlin had written this song while being inspired during his Beverly Hills trip. He was doing a movie at this place, and he got probably homesick enough that he had written the words that now make up the White Christmas song. Below is the lyrical content of this song:
“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.”
Loviest Nat King Cole with his inimitable in its beauty voice is still singing for us his Christmas Song.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it’s been said
Many times, Many ways
Merry Christmas to you.
