Welcome to the 2021 Vargo Family Musical Christmas Card!
"Write something poppy this year," she said, as if pop songs grew on trees.
I hope we succeeded, or else I'm in big trouble...
For our 14th annual seasonal tune, we bring you "That Holiday Feeling." For us this year, that holiday feeling is one of joy, jubilation and togetherness. Julian (18) is home after completing his first semester at UC Berkeley, and Paisley (11) is taking a breather after her first term in middle school. Cindi and I couldn't feel more blessed to have our family under one roof this Christmas, and our wish for you is that you also have the opportunity to spend the holidays with your loved ones - whether it be physically or in spirit.
This also marks the first time that both kids have provided musical contributions - Julian on lead guitar and Paisley overdubbing a five piece trombone section!
Thank you for enriching our lives this year, and for allowing us to be a part of your lives. Whatever and however you celebrate, may your days be filled with warmth, peace and happiness.
With Love,
The Vargo Family
Brett, Cindi, Julian & Paisley

lyrics
Though we know that time
We can’t rewind
We relive it every year
The glow on the streets
The friends we meet
The sound of laughter fills the air
Cuz we got that
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got us rockin’, got us reelin’
And wishin’ it could it always be this way
Cuz that
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got the magic we believe in
That makes us wanna in so many ways - say
Happy Holidays
Whatever you believe
If we stand in peace
It’s a bond that no one can destroy
And so we’re here
Like we’ve been for all these years
To bring to you our song of joy
Cuz we got that
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got us rockin’, got us reelin’
And wishin’ it could it always be this way
Cuz that
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got the magic we believe in
That makes us wanna in so many ways - say
Happy Holidays
And are we gonna let them bring us down?
On every street, in every town
We’re gonna lift our voices and
Shout it out loud
That we got that…
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got us rockin’, got us reelin’
And wishin’ it could it always be this way
Cuz that
Ho-ho-holiday feeling
Got the magic we believe in
That makes us wanna in so many ways - say
Happy Holidays
