Well.....
by: Jeremy

Think of what aspect of Christmas you want to write about and what genre you think would be best and go for it. Remember to write the music first and then add words. In a Christmas song don't play too many minor notes or chords as this is a happy time of year.

Good Luck

Santa's Big Rig
by: Braden

Pick up an idea from anything you see or hear relating to the season.
I saw a commericial about a truck landing on top of a house and wrote the song called Santa's Big Rig.
It's about Santa having too many gifts for his sleigh, and having to park his reindeer. It is in the country bluegrass genre. The biggest secret to writing a song is to write. An idea is nothing until it is written.
Always save your lyrics on some form of media other than the hard drive of your computer.
