(it's not december yet, it's not december yet) (it's not december yet, it's not december yet) (it's not december yet, it's not december yet) i'm decorating early, the neighbours aren't impressed (it's not december yet, it's not december yet) i'm thinking about reindeer and bing crosby cassettes (it's not december yet, it's not november yet) the eggnog on the shelves puts my patience to the test (it's not october yet, it's not september yet) but ask me to go caroling and i'll say "heck yes." i keep my sweater on indoors, it's oversized and red, with shoulder pads, with lace doily snowflakes attached with fishing line so when i spin around, it makes a blizzard in my house flurrying with joy nestled in a fresh snowbank i remember when i had to jump the fence in mustard brown and burnt orange moon boots...excitement building o, the anticipation of delights to come but then... but then... chugging down the hill, with rocks and sticks and pine cones wreaking havoc 'neath the garbage bags we'd fashioned into sleds gingerbread ladies and gents: they're festive, rapturous robots! take a bite! twinkling houses, extra cheer: the delight of the season! the staples of christmas life result in exuberant hearts arranging all the bliss objects sitting in the dark with my christmas tree it brings my heart so much glee if it snows then i'll be so relieved sitting in the dark with my christmas tree it brings my heart so much glee if it snows then i'll be so relieved

businesses are open with 8 inches of snow i just want to go home they're sweeping off the sidewalks as if it might slow but i checked the weather: i know it won't this city should be shut down, i guess they weren't told they didn't get the memo they have a reputation, a status to uphold so for our convenience, they won't close they want to make their money, they can't pass up the dough i'm not going in though i'd be at the office, but the office froze so sorry i'm not there with those brave souls people aren't moving they're stalling on the slopes nobody ever said no too much having things to do, too much on the go i just want to go home i just want to go home i just want to go home
