Today we sing the praises of December 23rd Although it's not a holiday per se It's just the day that is the day before the day Before the day that is the best day in the world The 24th is Chirstmas Eve, the 25th is Christmas And the 26th is Boxing Day and marks the Feast of Stephen But the 23rd is mostly spent just marking time until the Earth Rotates away around its axis once again Today we sing the praises of December 23rd Though no one else would seem to give a damn It's just the day that is the day before the day Before the day that is the best day in the world Too late for office parties, and you're done with "Secret Santa" But too early to go driving off to Grandma's through the snow And metaphorically speaking, it's the next-to-last minute So you still have one more shopping day to go Today we sing the praises of December 23rd 'Cause if we don't, nobody ever will It's just the day that is the day before the day Before the day that is the best day in the world
