Christmas Song

this song was the last of four tracks released on "music as a weapon - ep" by flyleaf in 2006 . the ep was part of the music as a weapon iii tour , and is not being sold anymore ( there were only 1000 cds made ) . the entire song is in the Em , C , G , and D chord progression , with two beats of each chord in 4/4 at about 82 bpm . the only tricky part of the song is finding the right groove in singing it .
