Well we have achieved something special and have recorded a Christmas song.
The band got into a festive mood, sprinkled some fairy dust and here it is..
Not an alternative to a Christmas card but we hope you like it..

It will go onto iTunes and Amazon and the download sites as well shortly…
Here are the lyrics and the song credits…
We hope it brings a smile at this festive time of year…
Shining light – The Christmas Tree Song
Recorded by The Explorers
Written by Andy Matheson
Chorus
Give me a smile at Christmas
Show me how much you care
Give me love this Christmas
Send me some dreams to share
Give me hope this Christmas
And make it plain to see
By sending out a shining light with every Christmas Tree
Verse 1
The streets once sad and lonely
Shine a light on me
And everywhere a thousand stars
Are shining back at me
You can feel despondent,
You can feel afraid
But let the Christmas Spirit shine upon
The troubles you have made
Verse 2
People may be weary.
Have forgotten how to pray
Wrapped up in their small town lives
They learn to look away
But carols singers sing out loud
Goodwill to those in fear
Icy hearts will melt away
And bring some Christmas cheer
A song recorded by the Explorers in December 2015
