A Custom Christmas Song, Written About One Person in Your Family

What is a custom Christmas song?

A custom Christmas song is a brand new song written and recorded about one specific person, built from details you supply, rather than a cover of an existing carol or a stock backing track with a name dropped into the chorus.

You tell us who it is for and what makes them who they are. Whoever carves. Whoever puts the tree up in the first week of November. Whoever ends up washing every pot in the house by four in the afternoon. Those details go in the lyrics, which is why the finished song fits one person and nobody else.

You also pick the sound: country, gospel, pop, hip hop, jazz, a slow piano ballad, or a full sleigh bell Christmas number. You pick a male or female voice. We write it, produce it, and send you the finished audio.

One song is $19.99. Six songs are $100, which covers one song per grandchild or one song per household in the family.

Will a custom Christmas song arrive in time for Christmas Day?

SoundCard.ai delivers every song by email within 24 hours of the order, so a song ordered on December 23rd is in your inbox on December 24th, ready for Christmas morning.

Nothing gets posted. There is no shipping cutoff to miss, no tracking number to keep refreshing, and no parcel sitting in a depot until the 27th. The audio goes to the email address you enter at checkout.

That makes this a workable last minute Christmas gift, and it works just as well in November if you would rather have it sorted early. The price is $19.99 either way and the wait is 24 hours either way.

If you want something to put under the tree, print the lyrics and fold them into a card. The song itself is a file, so it plays from a phone, a laptop, or the speaker in the kitchen.

Can several people give one Christmas song together?

Several people can give one Christmas song together: siblings, grandkids, or a whole household can split a single $19.99 order from SoundCard.ai, and every giver's name is written into the lyrics.

The usual shape is this: one person checks out, everyone contributes the details, and the song names all of them as the givers. The cost splits across the group, and it is one decision instead of another vote on another sweater for Nan.

For a bigger family, the six song album at $100 covers one song per grandchild, or one per household, each written separately about a different person.

You can also make the whole family the subject instead of the giver. A song about the household, with each person named in a line, works when there is nobody in particular to single out on the day.

What happens to the song after Christmas Day?

A custom Christmas song from SoundCard.ai is an audio file you download and keep, so it can be played again every December when the decorations come out, the same way a family replays the same carols year after year.

There is no subscription and nothing expires. Download it, back it up, and file it with the rest of your Christmas music. Add it to the playlist that goes on while the tree is being decorated, and it comes round again on its own.

The file does not expire. A song written about a grandparent this Christmas is still on your phone next Christmas and the one after, unlike the card that goes out with the recycling on Boxing Day.

We will not tell you how anyone will react on the day. We will tell you exactly what you get: an original recording, about one named person, that did not exist before you ordered it.

How do people give a custom Christmas song on the day?

• Christmas morning Put it on once the last present is open and the wrapping paper is still all over the floor.
• In a card under the tree Print the lyrics, fold them into a card, and add the link so there is something to unwrap first.
• At Christmas dinner Play it when everyone is finally sat down with a full plate, before people drift off to the sofa.
• On the call to relatives Send the file ahead to whoever is spending the 25th in another country, so they can play it while you do.
• As a group gift One order, several names in the lyrics, handed over on Christmas Day from all the siblings or all the grandkids at once.
• Next December Keep it with your Christmas music and put it on again when the tree goes back up.

Leaving it late? Songs are delivered by email within 24 hours of ordering, so a Christmas song ordered the day before still arrives in time. You get an MP3 you can play from any phone, tablet, or speaker, and you keep it.
