about

a commission for Christmas about a little family who loves each other, but has a hard time always getting it right.

lyrics

I tried to write a song about our sweet little family,
I thought you'd sing along here around the Christmas tree.
But as I got to cooking up the perfect recipe--
We might be a half-baked bunch of Christmas Kookies.

Some of us are underdone,
Add a little sarcasm to make it fun.
We might be nuts, but
It's been sweet to be in this
Red hot seat with this bunch.
(Add a little crazin' in for crunch).

Some of us are lumpier,
Than we used to be.
And grumpier,
But more informed, you see.
Take those gingerbread arms
And hug it out with me.
(If that don't work,
We can hug a tree).

I tried to write a song about our little family.
Some of us are raisin' Hell, and some of us are raisin filled.
Before you gingersnap at me, just check the recipe.
It's just not Christmas without this half baked family.

from Odds and Ends For the End of the World, released December 20, 2016
Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler played and sang everything on this track.

But they wrote it a couple days before Christmas with their brother-in-law, Jason Elder, who has never written a song in his life. This song is for family, by family, we guess.
