They’re calling it a comeback
Xmas won the war
Daddy had a heart attack like Christmases before
Chanukah isn’t even spoken about.
8 Days would take this family out.
Festivus is merely a meme
So the Atheists can put a little eggnog in their bloodstream
We’ve got racists and fascist and homophobic uncles and aunts
Stuffing themselves and splitting their pants
And then I see a child prance, presents under the tree
And xmas begins melting me.
Elder millennial malaise, notwithstanding
I’m a sucker. For yuletide branding.
NIce of you to join us at the table he has risen.
Get your diploma.
Make bettter decisions
Impending divorce, unwed father to be.
The holidays give all your dirty secrets amnesty.
But every December 19th or so, Xmas begins melting me.
Complacent and stagnant. The patriarchs telegraphing their stance.
Sunning themselves, they drink into trance.
But then I see by random chance, the wrapping paper debris
And Xmas begins melting me
Perfect cousins seeking praise, waists expanding
I keep working towards understanding
Nice of you to join us at the table, he has risen
Now serve your masters.
Eat my derision.
Second houses foreclosed. Bought a lemon jetski.
The Christmas sprit sets all of my dirty secrets free.
Well every December 19th or so, Christmas begins melting me.
