Haul Out The Holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking but deck the halls nowFor we need a little christmas
right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet
Yes, we need a little christmas right this very minuteIt hasn't snowed a single flurry
But santa dear we're in a hurryClimb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of lights I've ever seen
Slice up the fruit cake
It's time we hung some tinsle on that evergreen boughFor I've grown a little leaner
Grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder
Grown a little olderAnd I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas nowFor we need a little music
Need a little laughter
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafterAnd we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after"
Need a little Christmas now
Merry Christmas to all y'all!
Olivia looks adorable, as always. I'm sure Santa was very good to her.

Posted by: William Hughes on December 26, 2005 8:48 AMPut away The Holly
Take out the tree before my energy tanks again
Wash up the stockings but swab the decks now
For we need a little less clutter
right this very minute
Candles in the attic
Cover up the spinet
Yes, we need a little less clutter right this very minute....
No bets on whose little girl got more crap for Christmas this year, as it's probably a draw. We may be in the market for a bigger house soon, however.
