Oh, what's happening to Christmas, the giving from the heart? Now we give what only have pocketbooks allow The kids who should be getting love will get a chemistry set So, we put it in our shopping bags And hurry home to rest It's just one day till Christmas as I hurry to the store The holidays are different and their meanings, I'm not sure I've worked so hard the whole year long to purchase happiness Now I put it in my shopping bag And hurry home to rest So we stopped at the counter To buy a pair of socks Last year, we gave him a tie And the shirt we bought the year before his size The snow upon the ground was once a joyful sight to see But now it's inconvenient to have snow beneath my feet So many empty souls I've seen is really quite a mess So, I put it in my shopping bag And hurry home to rest
