lyrics

It's sort of spooky how it's almost nearly kind of Christmas time
Not long now til we trade pumpkin spice for warm mulled wine
Start making lists, then check 'em twice
Planning those gifts, stop being naughty, be nice

It's fairly frightening how much cold hard cash is dropped, we're freezin'
Max out those credits cards, we'll pay it later - tis the season

Be afraid... here comes anxiety
Be afraid... how much was that tree?
Be afraid... cos there's a large bearded man entering your home via the chimney

There's simply so much to fear now that Christmas is almost here

You're getting stuck in traffic.
You're getting caught in the snow.
You're playing board games with siblings.
Trapped inside, nowhere to go.
Can't escape family fights.
Batteries not included.
Can't avoid expensive flights.
Who forgot the stuffing? You did.
Who will critique your cooking?
Caloric intake expands us.
Who will critique your job?
Don't even mention Krampus.

You'd better watch out.
You know you might cry.
You'll be doing more than pout, and I'm telling you why

There's simply so much to fear now that Christmas is almost here
But it's true that fear just makes you stronger
So we wish you a scary Christmas
And a happy new year.
