Sleigh bells ring are ya' listenin In the lane snow is glistenin' A beautiful sight we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is the new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say "are you happy?" We'll say "No man... But you can do the job when you're in town!" Sleigh bells ring are ya' listenin In the lane snow is glistenin' A beautiful sight we're happy tonight Walkin' in a winter wonderland Gone away is the blue bird Here to stay is the new bird He sings a love song As we go along Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say "are you happy?" We'll say "No man... But you can do the job when you're in town!" Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unfraid the plans that we've made Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols Being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos Everybody knows A turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep, tonight They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loading lots of toys and goodies On his sleigh And every mother’s child Is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly… And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas, to you They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loading lots of toys and goodies On his sleigh And every mother’s child Is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly… So I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two… Although it’s been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas, to you

Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside Painted candy canes on the tree Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh with things Things for you and for me It's that time of year when the world falls in love Ev'ry song you hear seems to say "Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true" And this song of mine in three-quarter time Wishes you and yours the same thing, too Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside Painted candy canes on the tree Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh with things Things for you and for me It's that time of year when the world falls in love Ev'ry song you hear seems to say "Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true" And this song of mine in three-quarter time Wishes you and yours the same thing, too

The snow is snowing And the wind is blowing But I can weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me warm I can't remember A worse December Just watch those icicles form! Oh, what do I care if icicles form? I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat, off with my glove Who needs an overcoat, I'm burning with love! My heart's on fire The flame grows higher So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me warm The snow is snowing And the wind is blowing But I can weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me warm I can't remember A worse December Just watch those icicles form! What do I care if icicles form? I've got my love to keep me warm Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves Who needs an overcoat, I'm burning with love! My heart's on fire The flame grows higher So I will weather the storm! What do I care how much it may storm? I've got my love to keep me I've got my love to keep me I've got my love to keep me warm

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on Our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yule-tide gay From now on Our troubles will be miles away Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years We all will be together If the fates allow So hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Silver Bells 02:46
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Soon it will be Christmas day Soon it will be Christmas day

Pennies in a stream Falling leaves of a sycamore Moonlight in Vermont Icey finger waves Ski trails on a mountain side Snowlight in Vermont Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road People who meet, in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely Evening summer breeze Warbling of a meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont You and I and moonlight in Vermont Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road People who meet, in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely Evening summer breeze Warbling of a meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont You and I and moonlight in Vermont

River 04:26
It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Let It Snow 03:27
Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Man it doesn't show signs of stopping And I brought me some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let it snow! Let it snow! When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you'll really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm And the fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbying But as long as you'd love me so Let it snow! Let it snow and snow! Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Man it doesn't show signs of stopping And I brought me some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let it snow! Let it snow! When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you really grab me tight All the way home I'll be warm Oh, the fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbying But as long as you'd love me so Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When the bells all ring And the horns are blown And the couples we know Are fondly kissing Will I be with you Or will I be among the missing? Maybe it's much too early in the game Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same What are you doing New Year's New Year's Eve? Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night Welcoming in the New Year New Year's Eve Maybe I'm crazy to suppose I'd ever be the one you chose Out of the thousand invitations you receive And though I know I'll never stand a chance Here comes the jackpot question in advance What are you doin' New Year's, New Year's Eve? What are you doin' New Year's Eve? Maybe I'm crazy to suppose I'd ever be the one you chose Out of the thousand invitations you receive And though I know I'll never stand a chance Here comes the jackpot question in advance What are you doin' New Year's, New Year's Eve? What are you doin' New Year's Eve?

about

Season's greetings! As we enter this festive time of year, our homes are filled with the joyous melodies of Christmas songs. At our end, we take great pleasure in infusing them with the signature Manouche style, whether it's the timeless swing classics or unique renditions of beloved holiday tunes. Gypsy jazz has always been an integral part of our celebrations, and building on the overwhelming response to our Winter Wonderland EP released in 2020, we felt inspired to push Santa's sleigh even further and bring you a full album: "Swingin' in a Winter Wonderland"!

Andy Ruiz Palma and I have thoroughly enjoyed handpicking and arranging our favourite Christmas tunes to add festive joy to your celebrations and bring an abundance of singing, foot-tapping, and perhaps even a touch of dancing into your homes. We hope that this album accompanies many of your happy moments during this special time of the year.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas,
Irene & Andy
