♪ At this time of year
We’re so full of cheer
There’s a feeling in the air
People say ‘hello!’
They’re so full of love
But in my heart I know
oh! what they’re full of…!

Take the popcorn balls
And ‘de’ candy canes
This year forget the tree
And take a tip from me!
Take your colored lights
Packed upon the shelf
‘tis the season
To decorate yourself

Decorate yourself,
or maybe your brother.
Hang a fish, perhaps an Eel,
on your mother!

Then grab dear old dad
Baby sister too
And decorate yourself
Right down to your shoes
Do it just for fun
Or do it for your health
Just decorate yourself

Happy happy joy
To every girl and boy
Tape a cheese long to your nose
Why hang greeting cards
On a Christmas tree
When you can hang them
On your family
So to deck the halls
Or burn boughs of pine
Hang your mistletoe
Where the sun don’t shine
Paint your body green
And dress up like an elf
‘tis the season
To decorate yourself!

Decorate yourself,
or maybe your brother.
Hang a fish, perhaps an Eel,
on your mother!

Then grab dear old dad
Baby sister too
And decorate yourself
Right down to your shoes
Do it just for fun
Or do it for your health
Just decorate yourself

Fish head punch on Christmas Eve!
We hang dirt balls from our sleeves,
And put meat between our toes!
Granny’s there upon her head!
A delightful shade of red!
Wrapped up in a garden hose
Oh-oh-oh-oh
OOOOooooooh!

Decorate yourself,
or maybe your brother.
Hang a fish, perhaps an Eel,
on your mother!

Then grab dear old dad
Baby sister too
And decorate yourself
Right down to your shoes
Do it just for fun
Or do it for your health
Just decorate yourself

Decorate yourself,
or maybe your brother.
Hang a fish, perhaps an Eel,
on your mother!

Do it just for fun
Or do it for your health
Just decorate yourself! ♪

Many moons ago, a good decade before I ever even watched the show, I picked up on a whim a dazzling orange cassette tape of Ren and Stimpy’s ‘Crock o’ Christmas’. I’d been interested in the characters for awhile (though I had no idea how graphic the actual show was) and wanted to give it a go. A bit revolting and grotesque at times, but a surprisingly fun and funny album, with reworked Christmas classics, and the occasional original song. My favorites are, besides this warped ‘Decorate yourself’ tune, is 'We're going shopping for Christmas' & ‘Yak shaving day’, it’s just really catchy…though it has nothing to do with Christmas.

So in tribute to that song, I did this picture as, not only a surprise for my Lion, but a Christmas card to all of you out there. To my watchers, my friends, and those of you who continually take the time to give your thoughts on my work…I really appreciate it so very much, had I time to get back to all of you, I would, but never doubt how much your comments and favorites mean to me, and most of all, your friendship.

All my love, a merry Christmas to you all

*I couldn't find the actual lyrics online, though I did find a bunch of stupid sites that SAID they have them, so they're actually typed out from memory...I've listened to it enough that they're spot on, though.
