"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
May your merry be bright and your tidings be blessed
May partridges in all the pear trees make their nests
May halls decked in holly be walked without prickles
May snowflakes on noses bring smiles as they tickle
May your pudding be figgy, your eggnog be spiced
On Santa’s list hope that you’re on the side: NICE
Let silver bells ring and all harps touched with gold
Share songs of such joy to the young and the old
May this time of the year buoy your spirit with happy
So you’ll grin at those cliches no matter how sappy
We’re all feeling giddy, there’s skip in our steps
Dull duties fulfilled with just a little more pep
It’s not that this holiday gives us more reason
To bring out the good in our hearts for the season
Our spirit needs snugness as year draws to close
And collective glad feelings between people just grows
Let us store up delight in a stockpile of pleasure
Make grand memories that forever we’ll treasure!
