The Proper Christmas Spirit
It is early November and as Christmas fast approaches
We sit around some candles and we eat Farrero roaches
We've got Christmas music on though we don't quite want to hear it
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
We must dig out the fake tree and the lights and decoration
'Tis the season to spend on power, the house looks like a spaceship
Put up the rubber snowman, his nose a lit up carrot
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
We better go and buy stuff for friends and family
They buy stuff for us, if-we-don't-they get pissed off you see
We all know that love and kindness is measured in carat
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
The stores promote the biggest sales with banners all about
The crowd goes wild and we do too, for fear of missing out
Let's get that juicer now, and let's buy a plastic parrot
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
Grandma gets a tea set, grandpa gets a birdfeeder
Nephew gets a book of quotes because he's such a reader
Auntie gets some chocolate, and uncle-a-make-your-own-beer-kit
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
TV and social media help us feel warm inside
We buy stuff and feel accomplished and the lights shine bright
Spending and quiet reflection are really not disparate
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
Shit we forgot to get something for your sister in law
Didn't she have a baby two years ago in March
Online we quickly order a nice stole made of ferret
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
Let's sing about peace on earth as if we really care
Our hearts are big, our wallets fat, this is the time to share
Let's volunteer because all year we just won't go near it
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
Feels good being so kind and loving, donating everywhere
Who cares that Al Qaida and Boko Haram do not care
We've got our distraction, who gives a shit 'bout merit
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
And then by mid-December we'll have been won over
We'll be on board the Christmas train with mint and Russle Stovah
Our brains will be befuddled, our hearts will have a ball
We'll be in the proper Christmas spirit after all
The perpetual onslaught of Christmas tropes and cheer
Has opened wide our wallets, made us dream of reindeer
We fell for it again my friends, as we do every year
The Christmas spirit's got us, Christmas is finally here
The Christmas spirit's got us, Christmas is finally here
The Christmas spirit's got us
We sit around some candles and we eat Farrero roaches
We've got Christmas music on though we don't quite want to hear it
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
We must dig out the fake tree and the lights and decoration
'Tis the season to spend on power, the house looks like a spaceship
Put up the rubber snowman, his nose a lit up carrot
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit
We better go and buy stuff for friends and family
They buy stuff for us, if-we-don't-they get pissed off you see
We all know that love and kindness is measured in carat
Anything to get us into the proper Christmas spirit

The Christmas spirit's got us
