It’s that time of year once again.
It’s that time of the year; it is here once again.
It’s time for the kids to be opening presents.
It’s that time of the year; it is here once again,
To get all you wanted and some things you didn’t.
So we thank you Lord, for giving us Christmas.
So we thank you Santa, for bringing us presents.
So we thank you Jesus, for giving us Christmas.
So we thank you Santa, for bringing us presents.
Because we couldn’t cope, if we didn’t have toys,
To make the girls happy; as well as the boys.
The Christmas party; another affair.
It’s time to relax and let down your hair.
It’s time to remember, those who aren’t loved.
We must mock them and jeer them, for they are not like us.
It’s time to forget, the stress of the cost.
Three months of anticipation, will soon be forgotten.
And now the wrapping is on the floor, the box has been discarded.
Whole days are wasted preparing the lunch,
Or to drink at the Christmas parties.
Then New Year comes and we make false promises.
Just a day after Christmas day,
Yet another argument has started.
The presents we loved have lost their shine,
Since we went back to school
And saw their presents were better than mine.
The poorer families were happy on Christmas day;
But consumerism took that happiness away.
