Alright, let’s sing again. Because it’s fun. Because it’s Christmas time. Because, dear God, it’s barely middle of the month and I’m already tapped out.<\/p>\n

Anyway…<\/p>\n

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
\nEverywhere you go<\/i><\/p>\n

That it is. Though some people have been bitching about this since September. And by bitching that it’s looking like Christmas, it means some KMart decided to get a jump on garland sales and suddenly it’s “Eeek, Christmas creep!”<\/p>\n

Take a look at the Five and Ten
\nGlistening once again
\nWith candy canes and silver lanes aglow<\/i><\/p>\n

Is this before or after Bryan Adams got his first real six-string?<\/p>\n

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
\nSoon the bells will start
\nBut the thing that will make them ring
\nIs the carol that you sing
\nRight within your heart.<\/i><\/p>\n

Either that or just singing and using your hands to ring a bell. Hearts are better at the whole blood pumping thing.<\/p>\n

A pair of hop-along boots
\nAnd a pistol that shoots
\nIs the wish of Barney and Ben<\/i><\/p>\n

Ah, a couple of Second Amendment supporters I see.<\/p>\n

Dolls that can talk
\nAnd can go for a walk
\nIs the hope of Janice and Jen.<\/i><\/p>\n

Gender binary!<\/p>\n

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!<\/i><\/p>\n

Go fuck yourself and die.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
\nEverywhere you go<\/i><\/p>\n

Cool. How so?<\/p>\n

There’s a tree in the grand hotel<\/i><\/p>\n

I should think so.<\/p>\n

One in the park as well
\nThe sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.<\/i><\/p>\n

A tree that doesn’t mind snow. Also known as… a tree.<\/p>\n

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
\nToys in every store<\/i><\/p>\n

Didn’t Barnes and Noble use to be a bookstore?<\/p>\n

And the prettiest sight to see
\nIs the holly that will be
\nOn your own front door.<\/i><\/p>\n

My decorations are better than your decorations! :doitnow:<\/p>\n
