Call Me Christmas Cat

***Call Me Christmas Cat*** is the seventh of ten songs

featured in A Nature Carol. The song is a typical boogie woogie song.

## Summary

This song is sung by Nature Cat's future older self, when Nature Cat wonders what he is called in the future after he stopped caring about nature.

## Lyrics

**Nature Cat:** *If I'm no longer nature cat, then what do I call myself in the future?*

**Spirit Hal:** *Well you're in luck because you're about to find out... with a song!*

**Future NC:** I'm the cat who's got the most,

the most toys you've ever seen,

I've got teddy bears and blocks,

and everything in between.

call me Christmas Cat, 'cause Christmas is where it's at!

Lots of presents for me!

under my Christmas tree!

It's all for the Christmas cat.

Imagine that!

You may think I have it all,

well I don't, now, heres the twist,

the things I don't have yet,

I just add them to my list.

I want a video game and a rubber shark!

I want a choo choo train that glows in the dark!

I want a jelley bean maker, want the newest phone!

I'm the Christmas king, so I want a throne!

I want everything, as you can see,

so tell Santa, bring them all to me!

Bring it to, the Christmas cat

who wants this and that!

stuff them in my giant sock,

and the Christmas cat will rock and rock!

Call me the Christmas Cat!

And that's that!

Christmas Cat!

* Generally, frogs spend most of their lives in or near water. Toads on the other hand, get out on land a little more and find their way into gardens and yards. Frogs also usually have moist slimy skin, while toads have dry bumpy skin. That is usually the best way to tell them apart.

## Strategy

The Devourer of the Vale is a powerful finisher card, provided you have more health than your opponent. In addition, if buffed in hand before it is summoned, it does slighly more damage, and will force your opponent to react. As a 10/10 body it is also a vital presence.

With the release of Malice of Malgrond, the Commander Tharabok card can make this card explosively powerful and deal more damage, if its Attack is increased. Be careful as this effects your hero as well. If this is combined with Breckham from the Ancient History set, it is possible to create an OTK.

## Lyrics

Diggin' dirt

And plantin' seeds

Rake the rows

And pull the weeds

Water with the can if the ground is firm

You might even find a worm

It's always better when the garden's full

Of flowers, fruits, and vegetables

It'll be a sight to see

Of butterflies and honeybees

It's always better when the season's right

If you get your food when you step outside

It's always better when the garden's full

Of flowers, fruits, and vegetables

See a little plant sprout from the earth

With their leaves to the sky and roots in the dirt

Pretty soon, they're growin' fine

It's time to pick for harvest time

It's always better when the garden's full

Of flowers, fruits, and vegetables

It'll be a sight to see

Of butterflies and honeybees

It's always better when the season's right

If you get your food when you step outside

It's always better when the garden's full

Of flowers, fruits, and vegetables (2x)

It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas (reprise)

**"It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas (reprise)"** is the sixth of ten songs featured in A Nature Carol.

## Lyrics

### Verse 1:

**Tiny Tim:** It doesn't feel like Christmas

when you just can't find a home.

A warm and cozy burrow,

so on and on you roam.

It doesn't feel so merry

when you don't have a comfy bed.

Or a nest to snuggle up in

so you can rest your weary head.

No, it doesn't feel like Christmas.

### Verse 2:

**Bob Scratchit:** As long as we're together,

you along with me.

**Martha Scratchit:** No matter where on Earth we are,

we're a family.

**Bob Scratchit:** So take my hand in you hand,

and let's all sing this song.

**Scratchits:** 'Cause when we're with each other,

we really can't go wrong.

It will always feel, it will always feel,

it will always feel like Christmas!

**Tiny Tim and the Scratchits:**

It will always feel like Christmas!
