Does this sound like you on Christmas morning?
17 years ago
O' holy shit! It's Christmas once again!
It is the day of going into debt.
Let's pay the world in gifts and old fruitcake.
Man with a beard had come to your house today.
No time to rest, the children open presents,
And mother cooks a fresh and scrumptious meal.
Got on my knees! I begged them keep it down!
O hangover, last night when booze was drank;
O no, O holy shit , O not again!
O no, O holy shit , O not again!
Led by the smell of fresh apple pie baking,
With hungriness I will follow it down.
Into the den, where I will feel to perish,
In comes the family from far away o'er the land.
The toys of kids lay in piles and pieces;
And all that noise comes through my den door.
They know my need, for sleeping is no option,
Arise, thee Dad! Arise now, sleepyhead!
Arise, thee Dad! Arise now, sleepyhead!
Truly there's got to be some other way,
My head it aches, and rips me piece by piece.
Pills I will take, for the pain is getting worse.
And in my den, all my family shall come.
Loud sounds of toys with children playing finds me,
With no respect, they play their loudest ones.
Cripes! Let me sleep! The light, it really blinds me,
Hangover and headache, I will complain!
Hangover and headache, I will complain!
We all know that Christmas waits for no man with a hangover. As such, we must be at our best to help ring in the Christmas spirit in our households, even if there is but a tiniest spark thereof to set the yuletide aglow. Christmas isn't always toys or games or apple pie, a mountain of food, a letter of apology to your diet, or a stockpile of gifts and offerings. Christmas is the love, the thanks, the giving and receiving, and the togetherness. It is the day of our Lord in Jesus's name. It's a time for thought and to be thought of. It is the time for forgiveness--a time for many a rejoycing. And so, in high hopes for the future, and for you and yours, here's hoping everyone out there has a very merry Christmas this year. It may be nice to get lots of goodies and eat plenty this year. For those that go without the above will need some Christmas cheer, too. Share this holiday with everyone you know by wishing them a very special and happy Christmas--every one and all. After all, it's that one spark of thoughtfulness from others that sets off fireworks in the eyes of friends, family, loved ones, and even people you may not really know that well. So, make this a Christmas worth all its weight in the many years' worth of fruitcake you've ever seen in your life...make that call to someone you know, write that email to someone so very far away, or drop in on that visit to local friends and family today. Your gift of concerin, good will, good company, and acknowledgement onto others is a great gift in and of itself. May every single one out there have a Christmas to be proud of this year, and know that I am thinking about each and every one of you out there, and wishing you and yours the very best.
