Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:
For the best effect, please be sure and enjoy watching, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, this automated video series of ME (!) performing some of my favorite Christmas carols, as I accompany myself by strumming simple chords on my Yamaha G-130A classical guitar.
For your sing-along pleasure, here are the lyrics to "NOLLAIG CHRIDHEIL", the Scottish Christmas carol which I composed.

VERSE # 1:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Christmas bells are ringing.
Scotland's wee ones
Run merrily at play.
Nollaig Chridheil!
Everybody's singing,
For Iosa Criosd
Was born on Christmas Day!
CHORUS:
Clanna nan Alba
Seinn Nollaig aimsir.
Children of Scotland
Sing of Christmas time.
Shona is dream uile.
Everyone is happy.
Cluig Nollaig bheir seinn.
Christmas bells will chime.
VERSE # 2:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Throughout the misty islands,
Clansmen and kith
Will gather, far and near.
Nollaig Chridheil!
It's time for feasts and stories.
Even furry beasties
Love this time of year.
VERSE # 3:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Our Christmas fire is cheering.
Outside the door,
The wintry winds are cold.
Nollaig Chridheil!
Opening our Bible,
Wee ones listen closely
While the tale is told.
