(Sung to the tune It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, with apologies to Eddie Pola & George Wyle.)

It’s the most horrible time of the year.

When the kids are all yelling

and store clerks are telling you off

with a sneer.

It’s the most horrible time of the year.

Office parties for hosting

the salesmen are boasting

and bragging about

all the dough that they brought in for the year.

The traffic is scary

and everyone’s wary of

of everyone else.

The result of constantly living in fear.

It’s the most horrible time of the year.

With everyone spending

and shopping not ending

‘Cause we all forgot

Why there is Christmas Day every year.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, I think I will go and commit a random act of kindness.  Merry Christmas, everyone!
