Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The season's upon us, it's that time of the year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
[Verse 2]
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
Some families are messed up while others are fine
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine
[Verse 3]
My sisters are wack jobs, I wish I had none
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit
[Verse 4]
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls
With family like this I would have to confess
I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed
[Verse 5]
The season's upon us, it's that time of the year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
They call this Christmas where I'm from
[Verse 6]
My mom likes to cook, push our buttons and prod
My brother just brought home another big broad
The eyes rolling whispers come loud from the kitchen
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitching
[Verse 7]
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
Who won't run or fetch, sure he couldn't care less
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess
[Verse 8]
The season's upon us, it's that time of the year
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
They call this Christmas where I'm from
[Verse 9]
The table's set, we raise a toast
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
I'm so glad this day only comes once a year
You can keep your opinions, your presents, your Happy New Year
They call this Christmas where I'm from
They call this Christmas where I'm from
