Holidays
by

It was one month before Christmas
and all through the house
Everyone was stuffed with turkey
Even a fat mouse
A football game
was on the TV
And no one seemed to care
Who the winner would be
With a belly full of food
And a lot more to go
We would be eating it for a week
As all of you know
The dishes were stacked
In the sink with care
In hopes a volunteer
Would wash them there
You know what I’m saying
You know what I mean
Every one of us here
has made that scene
Now that it’s over
Don’t be too glad
What is right around the corner
Will make you sad
Christmas is coming
Now isn’t that great
Go buy those gifts
Before it’s too late
Spend all your money
And go in debt too
All of which is sure
To make you very blue
Where have we missed it,
The point I mean
We should be happy
In this joyous scene
Somewhere along the way
We took the wrong course
It’s just about time
We went back to the source
Christ’s Birthday it is
And it really should stay
So we can be happy
On that special day!
