Christmas Wrapping

'Bah, humbug!' No, thats too strong
Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this years been a busy blur
Dont think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just cause its tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of 81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.
Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime , saw him again,
Wouldve been good to go for lunch,
Couldnt agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said wed keep in touch.
Didnt, of course, til summertime ,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendars just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonights the night, but Ive set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think Ill miss this one this year .
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think Ill miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think Ill miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas ! Merry Christmas!
But Ithink Ill miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards a few calls
Cause its r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
Its Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldnt go,
Forget it, its cold, its getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.
A&P has provided me
With the worlds smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy Ive been chasing all year!
'Im spending this one alone,' he said.
'Need a break; this years been crazy.'
I said, 'Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too ?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magics brought this tale
To a very happy ending! '
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldnt miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldnt miss this one this year!
