Oh Woe Is December

(Sung to tune from Carol Of The Bells)

First there’s the gifts, so much to do
Then I have to wrap, should I tape or glue?
How am I supposed to write when there’s all this stuff to do
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Decorations and lights and the tree now goes up
Scattered ornaments and tinsel and Christmas movies galore
And there sits my laptop unattended oh heavy woe.
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Shopping online, then at the store
Oh crap I have to go back for something more
Brain is on overload and I could really use some elves now.
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Christmas card time, where did I put my list?
Where’s that address, am I sure this one’s correct?
Who are all these people? I’ll be at this forever!
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Checking the list, checking it twice
Cannot forget, that isn’t nice
This time of year makes me totally insane
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Boxing the gifts to ship out of town
Toss in the car drive to post office holy cow
Why does everyone have to be here at the same time as me?
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Baking and baking and baking some more
My kitchen looks like the tail end of some World War
I’m staring forlornly at my poor neglected book.
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Time to clean and straighten the house for the guests
Whoa what a nightmare who made this giant mess?
Help me Merry Maids! I can’t do this alone.
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas

Finally have a moment to sit down and write my book
So very tired, what was my hook?
I cannot wait until these holidays are over.
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas
