Holly Halls 02:44
The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees that are in the wood The holly wears the crown Deck the halls with boughs of holly Tra la la la la la la la la 'Tis the season to be jolly Tra la la la la la la la la Don we now our gay apparel Tra la la la la la la la la Troll the ancient yuletide carol Tra la la la la la la la la I wanna talk about my tree Strung up with lights of red and green And it smells so fresh, so pine, so clean Now you know about my tree I wanna talk about the snow But it's something I don't really know Anymore Since I moved to the west coast And I don't even need a jacket, pack it Put this thing away, man, this weather's fantastic! I wanna talk about my wings Little hot, little spicy crispy habanero Christmas things Wrap 'em up or put 'em in my stockin' When Big Red comes try to eat em I'm a stop him! Let it snow! Holly and the ivy Mistletoe Jingle all the way Dashing through the snow Jack Frost nipping at your nose Holly and the ivy Mistletoe Jingle all the way Dashing through the snow Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Somewhere out there, there's a sheep Just lying on a beach And he's the smartest sheep I know Cause while he's soakin' up the heat We're freezing in the streets From North Vancouver to Montreal I think I got an idea why don't we just take the money we were gonna spend on gifts And buy 4 first class tickets for an all inclusive trip? Imagine... This Christmas Lyin' on a beach in Mexico Sippin' delicious Margaritas and eating more Burritos than we should probably eat This vacation is what we really need Haha... a Christmas song about a sheep! Check back in with our sheepy friend Looks like he's gonna go for a swim Got his snorkel and flippers on And I know you're thinkin' he's forgetting it's Christmas But he's humming 'Sleigh Ride' while he's swimming with the fishes Wo-ah, wo-ah, wo-ah I think I like this idea where instead of spending money on gifts we head down south We'll shoot tequila, lots of guac on our tortillas, while the sun is shining bright all day! Imagine... This Christmas Lyin' on a beach in Mexico Sippin' delicious Margaritas and eating more Burritos than we should probably eat This vacation is what we really need And I just wanna be by the sea Soakin' up some vitamin D The 4 of us there side by side Our sheepy friend's our tour guide Well I just wanna be on the beach With you 3, counting sheep down on New Year's Eve, Oh what a beautiful thing it could be, singing This Christmas Lyin' on a beach in Mexico Sippin' delicious Margaritas and eating more Burritos than we should probably eat This vacation is what we really need This Christmas (I wanna go down to Mexico) This Christmas (I wanna get away from all this snow) This Christmas (Pack our bags and let's just go) This Christmas Mahhh, margarita

Bucket of chicken under my tree That's the only thing that I need And in my stocking put some hot, hot sauce But Santa don't forget the coleslaw KFC is All I need For Christmas, Christmas Oooh I tried to be good this year I even went vegan So forgive me as I indulge This KFC-eason Oh how I salivate for Beef on a bun And for the juicy steak I just - NO! THIS SONG'S ABOUT CHICKEN! KFC is All I need For Christmas, Christmas Oooh All that I want All that I need KFC is All I need For Christmas, Christmas Oooh B: You got any, uh, tequiler down at KFC this time, er? L: Colonel Cuervo. They got Colonel Cuervo Whiskey, Colonel Cuervo Ketila. B: Dang, is that a Big Crunch you got there, pardner? L: Extra mayonnaise, double beer - B: - yo they sell beer down at KFC these days, er what? L: They got a Double-Down for $1.99 - that's a double down, with a shot of tequila. B: Anybody got a lil bit of coleslaws around heres? I really think I ordered the coleslaw and that guy just forgot to put it in the bag... L: You know the #1 thing I like about KFC? B: Macaroons? L: Is that it's non-fattening. B: Mmm! L: I could never stop loving you chicken! You're my hero, you're my everything, you're my one and only, and if I could I would marry you tomorrow but I can't because of certain federal laws.

You would light a candle You'd string lights on the walls With a Christmas tree for all to see But now I see nothing at all... You would bake your cookies You would make your meatballs With holiday feast that'd fill the air But there's no smell at all... The snow's a-falling No renters are calling My insides feel all alone The wind's a-howling The landlords are scowling I just can't take anymore What are you gonna d-do without me? Tell me where you gonna lay your head? I'm starting to feel like you forgot me... I was your shelter I was your home I was your friend You would host your parties You would deck my halls With laughter, joy, and Christmas cheer But there's no sound at all... What are you gonna d-do without me? Tell me where you gonna lay your head? I'm starting to feel like you forgot me... I was your shelter I was your home I was your friend You would light a candle You would sing your song

about

You can be sure of three things in life: death, taxes, and an album from Shack 25 every Christmas.

This 2017 Christmas EP is sure to please, kicking off with the EDM-flavoured "Holly Halls", featuring a mash up of holiday favourites "Holly and the Ivy" and "Deck the Halls". The album shifts to a "Summer Jams"-inspired "Shack Vacation", dreaming about being on a hot beach during the cold winter months. Holiday cravings get the best of Shack 25 next, with a timeless ode to KFC, in "KFC Christmas". The EP closes out with a tearful, heartfelt message from the Shack itself, having been left abandoned in the years following Shack 25's departure.

We hope you enjoy, "Smells Like Christmas"!
