Subject: A Christmas Carol 
 
To be sung to the tune of 'The First Noel.' 
 
The worst Noel, 
For one such as myself, 
Comes from searching for Furbys 
On empty store shelves. 
 
And despite all the gifts 
Sitting under the tree, 
The kids will be screaming 
That "Santa hates me!" 
 
Oh hell, oh hell, oh hell, oh hell! 
"Shopping for Christmas is rotten!" I yell. 
 
The stress builds up, 
My neck cords get thick. 
And the price of new software 
Is making me sick. 
 
My credit cards are maxed, 
my back's getting sore, 
The parking lot's jammed; 
I can't take this no more! 
 
Oh hell, oh hell, oh hell, oh hell! 
"Shopping for Christmas is murder!" I yell. 
 
******************* 
 
To those who might care, a Christmas Carol of my own creation (not a 
satirical one) will be performed for the first time at the Christmas Eve 
mass at my church.  I'm excited about this, as I'll be playing it live in 
front of a pretty big congregation. 
 
And to everyone, I would just like to add the following: 
 
Forget about 'Season's Greetings;' Merry Christmas, everyone, and God bless!
