The season
It’s here
The parents are busy
While the children are care free
We plan and come together
Parties and dinners
Presents and thanks
The season
It’s meant to be happy
The parents can’t pay rent
While the children don’t have a winter coat
We take up side jobs and sacrifice sleep
Long nights and long days
Heat bills and cheap bonuses
The season
I’m happy it’s here
My parents say it’ll be small
While my sister and I say we don’t mind
There’s food on the table and wood in the fire
Teasing and inside jokes
Long talks and secret sharing
The season
It’s for family
