Welcome to the Songs of the Season music hop! You're invited to join

us every day from December 10-25, to enjoy a virtual round of

caroling.

You can visit a different blog each day to find another wonderful

music selection, handpicked by a great host. Schedule

Here's my selection for your enjoyment!

Title: Christmas Wrapping
Artist: The Waitresses
Available at: Amazon

Here are the lyrics, so you can sing along!:

Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong

'Cause it is my favorite holiday

But all this year's been a busy blur

Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush

Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,

Encounter, most interesting.

Had his number but never the time

Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,

I just need to catch my breath,

Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,

Chilled this room for twenty-four days,

Evergreens, sparkling snow

Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,

Would've been good to go for lunch,

Couldn't agree when we were both free,

We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,

Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?

No, this time it was me,

Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page

And, of course, I am excited

Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind

Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow

Cause I bundled up too tight

Last minute have-to-do's

A few cards a few calls

'Cause it's r-s-v-p

No thanks, no party lights

It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax

Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,

Same guy called, halloween party,

Waited all night for him to show,

This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,

Trudge on home to celebrate

In a quiet way, unwind

Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me

With the world's smallest turkey

Already in the oven, nice and hot

Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow

To the only all-night grocery,

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.

"Need a break; this year's been crazy."

I said, "Me too, but why are you?

You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening

That Christmas magic's brought this tale

To a very happy ending! "

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Couldn't miss this one this year!

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Couldn't miss this one this year!

I love this song, it's so upbeat. The only time I would hear it as a kid though was at Christmas. Lately I don't ever hear it. So I wanted to make sure I shared it with everyone. I know it's not one of the more "traditional" holiday songs. But it's still a classic. I couldn't find the actual music video to go with the song. But I really liked the whole Christmas light action going on in this one. So you can sing along and pretend you are really out in the snow caroling! (of course while enjoying some nice hot cocoa in the comfort of your home.)

I was originally gonna choose I'll Be Home for Christmas. Since this is the first Christmas in a long while that I will be actually celebrating Christmas at home. But I get kinda depressed when I hear it too, since some of the people I would love to see on Christmas are 3000 miles away, and I wanted my song to be cheerful and make me happy as well as make people smile. So I hope you enjoyed the song! I'd love to hear in the comments what your favorite holiday song is and why. Be sure to click on the badges below to hear another great song! Thanks for stopping by!
