LYRICS:
Looks like we did it
The end of the year
I’ve got to admit it
Wasn’t sure we’d get here

And now that we’ve made it
I think we’ll agree
We totally hated
This whole year, A to Z

So my wish list this December, let me make it crystal clear
Don’t want no presents, no parties, want no friends or family near
Just a day or two or three
Utterly disaster-free
As I lift a weary cup of Yuletide cheer
Here’s to an uneventful Christmas this year

It would be the nicest
If nothing would happen
Not one single crisis
While I get a quick nap in

Nothing exploding
Depressing or dire
Nothing grim or foreboding
No dumpsters on fire

Can we maybe take a time-out, try a temporary freeze?
Give this 21-gun shitshow an intermission, please?
So I’m asking, Mister Claus
Put the End Times on pause
We’ll just chill with milk and cookies and a beer
I got enough for you and all eight reindeer
Here’s to an uneventful Christmas this year
