Stores decorated
In early October
Pressure and panic I have fallen behind
Credit cards maxed out with so much to buy
These are a few of my favorite things
Eggnog and Xanax to help me get through it
Gluten-free, dairy free
Vegan for dinner
Small talk with relatives I hardly know
These are a few of my favorite things
Kids home from college with bags full of laundry
Annoying Facebook posts everyone’s smiling
Wrapping paper, boxes, crap everywhere
These are a few of my favorite things
Move the damn elf
Where is my drink
When I am feeling stressed
I simply remember the day will soon end
And then I don’t feel so bad
My holiday cards
Shit, I never did mail
Kids making TikToks, political talk
Someone’s offended the fighting begins
These are a few of my favorite things
Dishes all over and no one has noticed
Dog craps on carpet
And uncle steps in it
When will everyone get out of my house?
These are a few of my favorite things
Move the damn elf
Where is my drink
When I am feeling stressed
I simply remember the day will soon end
And then I don’t feel so bad
