about

“The Baubles” formed to record a Christmas charity single to raise money in aid of Multiple Sclerosis Ireland. MS Ireland are a fantastic charity that provide information and support to people living with the disease.
The song “It’s Christmas!” was composed by Paul O' Driscoll who recruited some musician friends to play on the track. Featuring Conor Hickey on drums, Sean Montgomery Dietz on keyboards, and lots of others who helped with backing singing! The song was then recorded and produced by our good friend John Henry.
We also had the pleasure of making a music video with the very talented Mary Henning. The video pays homage to all our favourite classic Christmas videos.

lyrics

It’s that time of year when people fill their minds with festive cheer.
All the shops are full of last minute dashers and auld ones buying lush like it was going out of fashion.
There’s a magical atmosphere, counting down the days ‘till the time draws near.
All the kids have wrote their Santa letters but the present I’m getting is so much better.

It’s Christmas, it’s the holidays, ‘tis the season to be jolly now Santa’s on his way.
It’s Christmas, it’s the time of year to celebrate ‘cos the gangs all near.

I got the decorations up the trees plastic, half the lights don’t work but the tinsel does the trick.
I need to go down town and get a couple more bits and start ticking some presents off me list.
I need a box of roses and a tin of celebrations, a bottle of cheap wine for the relations.
Then I’ll watch the toy show and eat mince pies. Sure it’s a bitta craic for the child.

It’s Christmas, it’s the holidays, ‘tis the season to be jolly now Santa’s on his way.
It’s Christmas, it’s the time of year to celebrate ‘cos the gangs all here.
It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas…
It’s Christmas, it’s finally here, we’re gonna celebrate until New Year.

Every year it’s the same old traditions, novelty jumpers and loads of drinking.
Staff nights out and Christmas do’s, 12 pubs, Stephens’ night and New Years too.

Its Christmas morning it didn’t snow outside but Santa came down the chimney and he brought me a surprise.
The dinner’s cooked but I’m feeling rough ‘cos I drank too many pints of the black stuff.
Fell asleep on the couch watching Home Alone, ate so many sweets I thought I was gonna explode.
It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas!

It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas…
It’s Christmas, It’s finally here, the biggest anti-climax of the year.
It’s Christmas, and I haven’t got a penny. It’s Christmas and there’s nothing on the telly.
It’s Christmas’ it’s finally here, well thanks be to Christ it’s only once a year.

I got some jocks and socks and two cans of Lynx, fifty euro from me mother for a couple of drinks,
So I headed to the pub for some brandy and ports, made some New Years resolution sure I’ll break them of course.
It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas… It’s Christmas…
It’s Christmas, Happy birthday baby Jesus!
It’s Christmas, when are you coming back to see us?
It’s Christmas, This year was a mess but next year I swear I’ll be trying my best because It’s Christmas…
