I Won't Remember Christmas

Today I'll build myself a wreath
I'll buy the floral tape
I'll hunt for pines and mistletoe
I'll bend them into shape

Today I'll play a Christmas song
I'll find the merry tune
I'll sing for joy and family love
I'll play on for the moon

Today I'll bake a Yule log cake
I'll work tirelessly
I'll work out chocolate ganache years
I'll make you candied sleep

Today I'll hold my family close
We'll gather 'round the fire
I'll tape my eyes and try to find
Ways out of mad desire

Today I'll search for hours on end
I'll make it all okay
But I still know, when it comes
I'll forget Christmas day

For 364 days, you avoid them like the plague. Then for one day you get together and have a love in. Someone told me it was the busiest time of the year, for the police. You can only chuckle.
