Christmas Wrapping lyrics

Bah Hum.. but that's too strong!

Cause it is my favorite holiday

But all this years been a busy blur

Don't think i have the energy

To add to my already mad rush

Just cause 'tis the season

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left

From last year, ski shopping, counter most interesting

Had his number but never the time

(Most of '81 past along those lines)

So deck those halls and 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

Chill this room for twenty-four days

Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with

Flash back, to spring time, sun again (why?)

Would have 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 till summer time

Out to the beach to his boat could have joined him

No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree

Now the calendars just one page

Of course I am excited

Tonights the night but I've set my mind

Not to do too much about it

(Christmas is over)

Oh, no you don't

[x2]

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 have-to-do's

A few cards a few calls

Cause 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, (I'm sorry)

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

All ready 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

(I'm spending this one alone) he said

(Need a break this year's 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 magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending

Merry Christmas, honey

(Merry Christmas baby)

[x2]

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year
