Christmas Today

Another holiday season will come and go away Another Christmas will find me far far away Why do I never find the time, just once a year To be with my family and share that Christmas cheer Why can't my heart let me be near All those who only love me so dear Christmas today is cold and lonely But I made it so for me only Invitations I declined Never having time Just not in the mood For holiday treats and food Christmas today is quiet and snowy I hid away where nobody would know me What am I doing? Who have I become? The mirror reflects Old Scrooge, selfish one Christmas today is clean and lazy No pleasantries to fake no emotions gone crazy No hustle no bustle no disappointment or fuss Christmas today is being spent with a cat named Russ What am I doing? It's Christmas It's not for me but for all of us Into the car packed like Santa's sleigh Nothing can keep me away My family and my friends Who love me just as I am I am happy to spend My wonderful crude crazy holidays At home sweet home Christmas today
