Ummm… I’m really not quite this cynical, but it’s really fun to exaggerate a bit and there is definitely some personal truth in this. Sooo… I hope you dig… or just don’t hate it.

And thank you, Unreal_DM, your instrumentals rule. The zips are included here because I cut up and rearranged Unreal_DM’s stems.

WORDS
The best part of the holidays
Is when they’re over
When everyone has had their fill
And leaves me alone
Yeah, I’m a Scrooge or Grinch
And I know I can’t convince
Everyone I love them but can’t stand…

All the invitations
All the obligations
All the festive treats
Yeah, I really hate em’
All the wasted food
All pointless gifts
All extra pressures
They just keep persisting
Oh the not so happy holidays.

The best part of the holidays
Is when they’re over
When everyone has had their fill
Leaves me alone
Yeah, I’m a Grinch or Scrooge
And I’m done pretending for you
I still love you, but I can’t stand…

All the Christmas carols
Every station plays
Over and over
Every single day
All the ringing bells
And the blaring music
I’m just grocery shopping
And I can’t escape it
Oh the not so happy holidays.

The best part of the holidays
Is when they’re over
When everyone has had their fill
And leaves me alone
Yeah, I’m worse than Scrooge or Grinch
And you know you can’t convince
Me to change my mind, ‘cuz I can’t stand…

All the creepy Santas
In shopping malls
Kids on their laps
Hope their not pedophiles
All the consumerism
Masked in green and red
To boost the sales
Of greedy corporations
Oh the not so happy holidays.
