A worked example

Meet Ray, our example dad

Ray isn't real, but many dads fit his festive profile. Here's the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Your song would be built from your own memories.

Ray

Christmas king, light-untangler, sleepy film fan

  • Unravels the lights, swearing each year
  • Carves the turkey wearing a cracker crown
  • Falls asleep during the film he insisted we watch
  • Leaves Santa's plate crumbs for the youngest grandchild

What their family told us

A Christmas song for Dad: the man who unravels the lights swearing every year, carves the turkey wearing the cracker crown like a king, and falls asleep during the film he insisted we watch. He does the Santa plate crumbs still, and the youngest grandchild is eleven. Christmas is Dad-shaped in this house. The song should be too.

The sort of thing a child might send us

Read the lyrics: Dad's Christmas CrownAcoustic pop · Warm male vocals · Christmas

Verse 1

Down from the attic, the lights come outTangled again, no doubt about itRay rolls his sleeves up, mutters a curseSame three words every single yearSays this time they'll behave

Pre-Chorus

But it isn't Christmas, not the sameTill we've heard him swear at the fairy lights again

Chorus

Cause Christmas is Dad shaped in this housePaper crown, king at the head of the table nowCarving the turkey like it's his throneStill gets it wrong but he calls it his ownThat's how we know we're home

Verse 2

He picks the film that we all must watchThen he's asleep before the clock strikes halfThere's crumbs again on the Santa plateEleven years old is our youngest oneStill believes because of what he's done

Chorus

Cause Christmas is Dad shaped in this housePaper crown, king at the head of the table nowFalling asleep in the same old chairWaking up to say he wasn't thereThat's how we know we're home

Bridge

Every year the very same sceneEvery year it means everythingRay, you're the thread through all our yearsThe lights, the crown, the crumbs, the cheer

Final Chorus

Cause Christmas is Dad shaped in this houseAlways will be, however things turn outSo keep swearing softly at the string of lightsKeep falling asleep on Christmas nightThat's how we'll always knowThat's how we'll always know we're home

Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Ray's was built from tangled lights, a crowned turkey and a sleepy movie moment. Yours will come from the memories you share.

What to put in a personalised Christmas song for Dad

Just send us the bits that make Dad the hero of your holidays, and we'll turn them into verses.

  1. The light-battle

    How he untangles the fairy lights, the swearing, the triumph when they finally glow.

  2. The turkey king

    The cracker crown, his carving ritual, the moment the bird meets the throne.

  3. The sleepy movie scene

    The film he chose, the moment he drifts off, the chuckle from the family.

  4. The Santa plate crumbs

    The ritual of leaving crumbs for the youngest, the age of that grandchild, the joy it brings.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

Practical details for getting the perfect Christmas song for Dad.

What should I include for a Christmas song for Dad?

Specific moments only your family knows: the light-untangling, the turkey crown, the sleepy movie night, the Santa-crumb ritual. A few short sentences are enough.

Will the song arrive before Christmas dinner?

Yes. We deliver the finished MP3 within 24 hours of your order, so a last-minute order still gets there in time for the feast.

Can the whole family add details?

Absolutely. Gather memories from siblings, the youngest grandchild, even Mom: the richer the picture, the more personal the song.

Do I get to hear the lyrics before it's recorded?

You read and approve every line. One revision is included free, so you can tweak any word before we start the recording.

What style should I choose?

Think about Dad's favourite music. If he loves acoustic sing-alongs, pick Acoustic pop. If he enjoys a classic festive feel, choose Folk with sleigh bells. Or select "Surprise me" and we'll match the style to his story.
