A New Song for Christmas

It's hard to write a new song for Christmas
it's all been said before
jingle bells and deck the halls
all that tinsel on the floor

It's hard to write a new song for Christmas
it's all been said before
Twelve days of giveaways
all that rushing to the store

All this fuss we have for the holiday
Isn't it easier to celebrate his birthday

It's hard to write a new song for Christmas
it's all been said before
stories once upon a time
all that myth and folklore

It's hard to write a new song for Christmas
it's all been said before
cards and letters written
all those wreaths on the door

It's hard to write a new song for Christmas
it's all been said before
egg nog and fruitcake
all that food and drink galore

All this fuss we have for the holiday
Isn't it better that we celebrate his birthday
