It's an Unsimple Christmas!

As you may be at least somewhat aware I live in a part of the United States where it does not snow, so  this song rings true.  I would like to attribute the first verse (in quotes) as well as the general premise for the song to the fabulous Irving Berlin.

Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are gathered together to witness a football game and a ball dropping on people’s feet in Times Square while Nivea tells you to moisturize your skin and HSN blares in the background while Suzanne insists you don’t have to send it back until January 31^st.  Yes, that’s right, folks.  We are witnessing the beginning of the Christmas season.

Please stand for a song…

(to the tune of White Christmas)

"The sun is shining, and the grass is green

The orange and the palm trees sway

There’s never been such a lovely day

In Beverly Hills, L.A.

But it’s December the 24^th

And I am longing up North"

And I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I saw in Elf

Maybe this year we will go to Delft

Where the figurines

Aren’t made of polyethylene

Oh oh oh

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

For every Christmas card I send

I am helping to amend

The very dire situation

Overall it’s quite financial

Of the USPS

Oh, you know

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Before the polar ice caps melt

We are hoping to help PETA stop using pelts

Because as you know

It’s very inhumane and

Honest Truth:

It’s not Christmassy!

Merry Christmas and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
