Christmas Wrapping

Bah humbug! No, that's too strong 'cause it is my favourite holiday But all this year's been a busy blur I don't think I have the energy To add to my already mad rush Just 'cause it's 'tis the season The perfect gift for me would be Completions and connections Left from last year's 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 24 days Evergreens, sparkling snow Get this winter over with! Flashback to spring time, saw him again Would've been good to go for lunch Couldn't agree when we were both free We tried, we said we'd keep in touch Didn't of course, 'til the summer time Out to the beach, to his boat, could I join him? No, this time it was me Sunburn in the third degree Now the calendar's just one page And of course I am excited Tonight's the night But I've set my mind not to do too much about it Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Hardly dashing through the snow 'Cause I bundled up too tight Last minute had-to-do's A few cards, a few walls Because it's R.S.V.P No thanks, no party lights It's 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 wouldn't go Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late Trudge on home to celebrate In a quiet way, unwind Doing Christmas right this time A&P has provided me With the world's 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 I've been chasing all year! 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 onto what was happening That Christmas magic's brought this tale To a very happy ending Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Couldn't miss this one this year
