It’s Beginning to look like Christmas


It’s already December 
And it could mean one thing
Winter should be here
But then it’s nowhere in sight 
And in its stead we have some rain
But no snow, as if it would
In a warm and muggy mumbai 

Hey that ain’t the purpose 
Of these nonsensical 
Whimsical verses
So let’s begin once again
Form the very beginning 
And here we go again

It’s already December 
And no matter the weather
It can only mean one thing
It’s time to bring on the Christmas cheer
To put up the mistletoe and holly
Cause everyone’s so jolly
Hang up that stocking 
Cause Santa Claus is coming to town

It’s time to play those carols
And if there’s no carols on the spin it
We can always sing it
Whether we are B flat or G sharp
We can always go carolling
And ring in that Christmas cheer
Cause we all need a reason to be jolly 
We all need a little Christmas 

It’s time we put up that tree
Trim the tree, decorate it
Add that partridge to the fir tree
If you don’t have a pear one
Put that star on the highest bough
And let an angel be up there with it
Heralding the festive season

Outside, there may not be snow
Or even some sign of cold
But the people, with their spirits high 
Trying hard not to miss a beat
As they shop in their street
Running with the treasures 
They have managed to plundered
Ok not plundered but acquired
Or for that matter gathered
For themselves 
For the ones who they care
As the street light blink 
Bright red and green
Cause soon it will be Christmas Day 

The shops are all festive
All ready for Christmas 
Trying to draw passerby 
With their wears 
And what they have displayed
With the mistletoe and holly
And Christmas tree all merry
All ready for all to see it
Filled with shoppers 
Wanting to buy their wear

But in the mix of all this milieu 
Don forget the reason for the season
The message of love and hope he brings
Put Christ right back in Christmas
Let him be the centre of your rejoicing
So while you put up the Christmas trees
And the mistletoe and holly
You decorate the house 
And buy your present
Don’t forget the Christ child
Born those million years ago
In a small little stable

So we need a little Christmas 
Right this very moment
And it’s beginning just like that
So Christmas please don’t be late!!!
