Christmas Memories

it's the smell of that pine like one of them scented candles mistletoe up high stockings hung off the mantle popcorn and cranberries strung around with the colored lights Kids laughter fills the air not at all a silent night poppin off the top of this bottle of egg nog its good food, good people fuckin great dialogue it's carol o bells rocking loud in the background it's ugly Christmas sweaters seeing all who stands out it's fruit cake and cookies life savors out the book safe a calendar of chocolates leading me up to the very day it's the hot chocolate in ya hands Given by a warm smile it's coming out the cold staying warm next to a hot fire it's the plastic candy canes filled up with them m&ms it's looking under the tree and seeing all the presents i hope that your seeing it too i hope that you are present but if your not here's to us wishing you a Merry Christmas it's a ho ho ho kinda Christmas i hope your feeling me it's a ho ho ho kinda Christmas Christmas memories now you can deck your halls but it dont quite hit the same if your outside looking in standing out in the damn rain each year it gets colder as the the world keeps turnin don't have a Christmas tree cause if I did it'd be burning my only Christmas lights are ones that light the sky at night don't believe in Santa there aint no sleigh in sight he never ate the cookies he never drank the milk that's shit that parents do if your parents were around now where was I, lost track this seasons always frustrating i can't hear myself think with all this belly aching with no food no home and a lack of Christmas spirit no joy to give to this world no way I ain't feeling it now I lay me down to sleep i close my eyes stop and think if you were here what more could I want you to see i hope your not here i hope that you aren't present but if your are here's to us so this is Christmas it's a ho ho ho kinda Christmas i hope your feeling me it's a ho ho ho kinda Christmas Cmon get way from me
