SONG

(I couldn't find a video for this song. When you click on the link, it should open up in a new window so that you can listen to he song as you read the post).

It was Twismas Eve and I was cold,

And all alone.

Sitting by a chimeny top trying to get warm.

I heard the sound of Twasmas bells jingling far away.

Then there came a jolly Ho, Ho, Ho,

And I saw a big red sleigh.

Before I knew it there was Santa,

Looking right at me.

He said, "Hey little bird why are you so sad on Twismas Eve"?

I said cause no one cares a thing about the birds this time of year.
Why Twismas is for people,
They get all the Twismas cheer.

Santa kind of chuckled,

And he took me in his hand.

He said, But Twismas is for you and all your feathered friends.

Cause Birds are very special.

And, Santa's never wrong.

Come fly beside my sleigh with me and sing this Twismas song.

Christmas is for the birds.
Santa loves us all to sing,
Go and spread the word.

Christmas is for the birds.








Country Birds

and City Birds

Ugly Birds

and Pretty Birds

Big Birds

and Little Bitty Birds

And even me the Twitty Bird.

Christmas is for the Birds.

Santa said, You know the Birds have always been the one,

To take the lead when ever something special must be done.

That's why every year you'll find a Robin Red Breast there,

Announcing to the whole wide world when spring is in the air.

The rooster's crow at sunrise,

Wakes all the people up.

And, the Canary's friendly little song,

Adds such a cheerful touch.
(I know, not a canary. . but friendly)

The Eagle flys for freedom.

And what about the Dove,

Why he's the symbol everywhere,

For Peace and Joy and Love.

Each one has a special job.

The Birds all work so hard.
So you see my little feather friend,
You should be proud of who you are!

And, at Twismas time we Celebrate,

All the Good they do.

So Merry Twismas, Twitty Bird!

Cause Twismas IS for You!

Christmas is for the birds.

Santa loves us all to sing,
Go and spread the word.

Christmas is for the birds.

Well this has been another fun post for me. This song is from one of my favorite Christmas Albums. My kids have always loved it. When my son was little we would visit Twitty City, (Conway Twitty's Home), every year at Christmas time. They would have the houses decorated with lights. They also had Santa's Workshop, various displays of Christmas scenes and songs from this album playing as you walked through the different sections. The song in my post was a little skit that they acted out. The kids loved it!
On our first visit, I bought the album. My brothers teased me saying that I paid too much for it and that I could have gotten it alot cheaper from a retail store. But, when one of my brothers tried to find it, he was suprised to find that it was only available at Twitty City. So this album is special to me. 
We have enjoyed many Christmases listening to this album and it has become a tradition to listen to it as we open gifts.
