text: It's called Christmas Wrapping! Spice Girls covered it  but original was by the Waitresses...\n\n"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong \n'Cause it is my favorite holiday \nBut all this year's been a busy blur \nDon't think I have the energy \n\nTo add to my already mad rush \nJust 'cause it's 'tis the season. \nThe perfect gift for me would be \nCompletions and connections left from \n\nLast year, ski shop, \nEncounter, most interesting. \nHad his number but never the time \nMost of '81 passed along those lines. \n\nSo deck those halls, trim those trees \nRaise up cups of Christmas cheer, \nI just need to catch my breath, \nChristmas by myself this year. \n\nCalendar picture, frozen landscape, \nChilled this room for twenty-four days, \nEvergreens, sparkling snow \nGet this winter over with! \n\nFlashback to springtime, saw him again, \nWould've been good to go for lunch, \nCouldn't agree when we were both free, \nWe tried, we said we'd keep in touch. \n\nDidn't, of course, 'til summertime, \nOut to the beach to his boat could I join him? \nNo, this time it was me, \nSunburn in the third degree. \n\nNow the calendar's just one page \nAnd, of course, I am excited \nTonight's the night, but I've set my mind \nNot to do too much about it. \n\nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nBut I think I'll miss this one this year. \nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nBut I think I'll miss this one this year.\nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nBut I think I'll miss this one this year. \nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nBut I think I'll miss this one this year. \n\nHardly dashing through the snow\nCause I bundled up too tight\nLast minute have-to-do's\nA few cards a few calls\n'Cause it's r-s-v-p\nNo thanks, no party lights\nIt's Christmas Eve, gonna relax\nTurned down all of my invites.\n\nLast fall I had a night to myself, \nSame guy called, halloween party, \nWaited all night for him to show, \nThis time his car wouldn't go, \n\nForget it, it's cold, it's getting late, \nTrudge on home to celebrate \nIn a quiet way, unwind \nDoing Christmas right this time. \n\nA&P has its pride in me \nWith the world's smallest turkey \nAlready in the oven, nice and hot \nOh damn! Guess what I forgot? \n\nSo on with the boots, back out in the snow \nTo the only all-night grocery, \nWhen what to my wondering eyes should appear \nIn the line is that guy I've been chasing all year! \n\n"I'm spending this one alone," he said. \n"Need a break; this year's been crazy." \nI said, "Me too, but why are you? \nYou mean you forgot cranberries too?" \n\nThen suddenly we laughed and laughed \nCaught on to what was happening \nThat Christmas magic's brought this tale \nTo a very happy ending! " \n\nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nCouldn't miss this one this year! \nMerry Christmas! Merry Christmas! \nCouldn't miss this one this year!
