Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see


And it's hardly ever snowing the way it's meant to be
Like in white Christmas year after year

Bing Crosby, Bring Crosby, are you listening to me?

It doesn't often snow at Christmas

The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you


The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost

It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
And what this is this year's festive number one


It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas

Because I'll be with you

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
