about

My 6 year old son, Buster couldn’t sleep the other night. His little heart was heavy. He said he wanted to do a "chariot" (charity) for kids and people who are sad this year especially, because of “the sickness,” and help lift people's spirits.

He said, "Maybe I’ll do a magic act on the street? But I might get 'street fright' though. Maybe I could rhyme words for 14 hours straight? Hmm, that’s a lot of rhyming. What if I didn’t use my hands for a whole day? But what if I get thirsty?"

Most important to him was finding a way to give people extra cheer this holiday season, especially grandmas and grandpas. So, I had a thought. “what if we work on a song to share with the world and give people hope and spread some Christmas cheer?!” And we did just that!

So, without further adieu, boys and girls, big and small, and one and all, my kids, Buster, Alvie and Goldie Rose and their band “Lunch B.A.G” (featuring their mama, Rosie Thomas and our dear friend's awesome kids,) with their debut single, “A Brighter New Year!” May it do for you what my boy hoped, fill your hearts with extra cheer this holiday season, give you hope for tomorrow and a brighter new year too!

Have a happy Christmas. Love, Buster, Alvie, Goldie Rose and their mama, Rosie Thomas

lyrics

Dear grandma and grandpa
How I wish I could see ya
And play in the snow til we can't feel our toes
And stare at the sky til we find Rudolph's nose

Dear grandad and granny
How I wish you could see me
Open my toys
So full of joy
So full of glee.

I know next year
When we all are together
We'll have extra cheer hugging each other
Maybe that's part of God's master plan
To not take for granted our family and friends

Dear nana and grandpa
I sure hope that Santa
Won't forget mom and dad
For the time that they've had
And all they've taken on

I know next year
When we all are together
We'll have extra cheer singing together
Maybe that's part of God's master plan
To not take for granted our family and friends.

So Happy Christmas
Sending you cheer
Hope for tomorrow
And a brighter new year

So Happy Christmas
Sending you cheer
Hope for tomorrow
And a brighter new year

So Happy Christmas
(Have a happy Christmas)
Sending you cheer
(Have a happy Christmas)
Hope for tomorrow
(Have a happy Christmas)
And a brighter new year
(And a brighter new year too)

So Happy Christmas
(Have a happy Christmas)
Sending you cheer
(Have a happy Christmas)
Hope for tomorrow
(Have a happy Christmas)
And a brighter new year
(And a brighter new year too)

I'll try not grow much
I'll try to stay small
So you won't feel like
You missed out at all
