Tis the season...
Ya, ya, ya.
Ho fucking ho!
Those trees...
The lights,
Jesus, the electric bills.
Screw that!
Shit...
Who needs it.
Family you try to avoid,
Suddenly appear...
Spreading this shit,
What they... call good cheer.
"Oh... it's the season of giving!"
I'll show them cheer.
Give me a fifth...
Ya... put that in your stocking,
and stuff it.
The only thing they give me...
Is a headache.
Don't make me choose...
I'd take a hangover every time.
Now... I would never pass...
on a bit of mistletoe,and that cute
Little bartender down the street...
Ya... Ho! Ho! Ho!
