CHRISTMAS - 2020

 CHRISTMAS - 2020

Merry Christmas!!!

(For most other holidays we say “Happy” - Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Labor Day, Happy Birthday, but for Christmas, we say “Merry”!!!)

Silly Christmas Songs:

Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas eve

You can say there's no such thing as Santa

But as for me and grandpa, we believe

She'd been drinking too much eggnog

And we begged her not to go

But she forgot her medication

And she staggered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas morning

At the scene of the attack

She had hoof-prints on her forehead

And incriminating Claus marks on her back

(And, Grandpa is taking it so good - drinking beer and watching football)

*****

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

My two front teeth

See my two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth

Then I could wish you, "Merry Christmas"

(Of course, any word with an “S” gets a hissing sound)

*****

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

(Sure - every kid wants a hippopotamus, don’t they?)

*****

And … who can forget:  The Chipmunks (with Alvin, Theodore, and Simon)

Christmas, Christmas time is near

Time for toys and time for cheer

We've been good, but we can't last

Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

Want a plane that loops the loop

Me, I want a hula hoop

We can hardly stand the wait

Please Christmas, don't be late

*****

And, the bad kid - who gets nothing:

I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas

Mommy and daddy are mad

I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad

*****

And, Mommy kissing Santa Claus!!  (Oh No!!)

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus (kissing, kissing Santa Claus)

Underneath the mistletoe last night

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up

In my bedroom, fast asleep

*****

How about Ray Stevens Redneck Christmas?

We're havin' a redneck Christmas

With traditional possum stew (yee-haw)

We're havin' a redneck Christmas

Hope Santa brings a little rabbit too (yum yum)

Got Paw new chaw redman

Maw a brand new spit cup (phtoeey)

And I got my wife a brand new set

Of re-treads for my pickup truck

(Ain't he the sweetest thang)

*****

So, in the serious - and not so serious - MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!! 

There is a very serious side to Christmas - but also a light, joyful, happy side!!! ENJOY!!!

(And to all a Good Night!!!)

LOVE WINS!!!!

HUGS!!!
