Christmas Music in November Is Bad for Your Health

 

Recent scientific research proves that I've been right

All along when I've insisted that "Oh, Holy Night,"

"Dominic the Donkey," "Jingle Bells," and "Drummer Boy"

In November makes you sick instead of filled with joy.

Yes, I'm feeling "Bah humbug-ish."  Sure... You're all prepared;

Decorated, presents bought and wrapped while carols blared.

All this Christmas music in November makes me tense

Since I haven't done a thing...  I mean you no offense

But, I need 2 weeks (at least) before I'm in the mood.

Right now, I can understand the Grinch's attitude.

I'm glad all you Whos are happy - jingling away -

Me? I'd like some "Peace on Earth" until the holiday.

Haven't started doing cards; no presents have been bought.

Haven't decorated so my stomach's in a knot.

I know I've got things to do but they're predicting snow;

Plus, I'm sick of Christmas carols everywhere I go.

Jingle bells are ringing and those flashing lights are bright.

I'm not feeling peace on earth; I'd love a silent night.

Deck the halls and ho, ho, ho...  Dear Lord, I need a break.

Don't know how much Christmas joy my Grinchy heart can take.
