Happy HALidays!

I gotta be honest. Holland America's Gala nights make the whole carol writing thing easier than Celebrity's "Evening Chic."

Other than "Le Freak" by Chic, there's not a lot with which to work. Fear not! We're on it!

May I humbly present, "Deck the HAL"

OMG! Hilarious!!

OMG! Hilarious!!

Thanks. Just remember the stanzas where F turn to G. :)

Well done.

Just one question - who told you about the leather thongs :eek: ? ? ?

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

So funny! I hope you are going to send it to HAL!:)

No. I'm waiting for a whole songbook.

"We Three Drunks on Oosterdam are.." (We Three Kings)

"Where is my restroom Amsterdam?" (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

"Pinnacle, O Pinnacle" (Hanukkah, O Hanukkah )

"Winter Wonderland" has potential, but I'm drawing a blank

"Santa Claus is coming to Town" is wardrobe gold.

The "12 Days of Christmas" always has potential,

"Deck the Halls" is "The Alarm, report to Deck 3..."

Whatever it is, rest assured we have people* working on it.

*Not our Best People. They're ashamed to be within a mile** of here.

**Nautical, not statute.

Love it.

Awesome! Thanks for what is sure to become an earworm! Can't wait to "hear" the rest. :p

Fun!! Good job. :D

You have definitely too much time on your hands. :)

Can't wait for the new song book of HAL to come out. :D

Your talent just shines again!

But you've got to put it out on FB. I'm sure it will go viral.

Sing it and put it on U Tube and you will become the next Justin Breiber.

Love it.

Helen.

Debut it in the Piano Bar (or Mix). Sure to be a hit.

Terrific! :D:D Can't wait to hear the rest of them..

Cheers & Good night all, sleep tight & hope the bugs don't bite..

Hal la la, la la la la..

Let us all gather 'round and sing!

**Yeah, I know. It stretches the rhyme, but if you sing it out loud, you'll find that it works.

*Apologies to Martin Luther, J.E. Clark, and C. H. Gabriel.

In the words of my man, Tiny Tim: God Bless Us, Everyone!

PERFECT...

It expresses my disdain with the new dress code... However, you need to include ball caps to make it complete...

:D

Too funny!

Inspiring! It almost writes itself.

Apologies to Benjamin Hanby & Gene Autry.

(To the tune of "Up on the House Top")

Oh boy you have opened a can of worms here! :D Let me resurrect a couple from 2004 :eek: with slight modifications.

And one more this morning for good measure.

CRUISING SHIPS to the tune of Jingle Bells

Sailing ore the sea, on a brand new Holland liner

Over the blue we go, nothing could be finer.

Meals we will not miss, at our waistbands we will tug

What fun it is to eat all day, oh dear our pants are snug.

Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today. Hey!

Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today.

A year or two ago on a cruise ship took a ride

The weather it was great with hubby by my side.

The ship was sleek and new, on the balcony we did sit

He got into the swing of things, the cruise bug had bit.

Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today. Hey!

Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today.

And now my life is grand, as when it begins to snow

Our tickets in our hands, a cruising we will go.

We’re spoiled that is true, our vacation it is bright

We’ve found the way to go, at sea we’ll sleep tonight.

Oh, Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today. Hey!

Cruising ships, cruising ships, cruising all the way!

O what fun it is to sail a Holland ship today.

Thanks, Larsen!
