Don't you wish that Christmas Was a Currier and Ives scene Where the snow was falling softly In the woods of evergreen Where horses pulled the sleighs Through the village and the fields Where the children played at snowballs With just scarves to act as shields A time of innocence gone by Where Christmas was serene Where the world was fairly limited And not shown on a screen A time where people had some class And Christmas was a day For families to just spend some time Not compare how much they paid A painting showing everyone Out skating on the lake While carol singers sang their songs To seeΒ Β the joy that they could make I would love to have a Christmas Like an old time Christmas card But today, it would be difficult It could be done, but would be hard A Child's Christmas in Wales we'd read And we'd follow it with more We'd sing songs to our hearts delight And we'd open up the door for Christmas is for sharing Not for self fulfilling greed A Currier and Ives type Christmas Might be just the thing we need This year, I'll watch no movies About Christmas elves and such I'll make each treat we eat at home And by the fire, stand a crutch I'll volunteer and feed the poor And I'll go to church as well Wait....who am I kidding Well, it was a nice thought....What The Hell!!
