Have yourselves Ameri little Christmas!
AMerrycan Christmas!
All over the world people promise each other a Happy Christmas.
Joyous Noel.
Felice Navidad!
Not so, here in America.
All year long Americans tell each other Happy 4th of July.
Happy Halloween.
Happy Hanukah.
Happy this day that eve.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy holidays.
But at the short-tice, the winter doldrums,
They come out of the floorboards. Christmas leeches.
And it’s Merry Christmas!
Merry. Aint no other holiday merry.
Me and you, we know the drill.
Spend and spread the wealth.
The reason for the season is gifting beyond our means. Christmas leeches.
Neopagans bold reciting the ancient tales and gauding the hearth with greenery and winter berries.
Red clad elves gifting greedy children.
Celebrating the American litany of gift-glut. Christmas leeches.
Hypochristians sing the bible story beneath the Christmas tree.
Spend their charity on each other in a rite of splurging that shows the wolf of winter we got ours, plenty to eat.
Plenty in hand. We can give it away. Christmas leeches.
Anyone can play this game. Everbody.
We bulwark the economy.
Fail to come through and the economy falls.
Christmas too big to fail.
All over the world people promise each other a Happy Christmas.
Joyeux Noel.
Felice Navidad.
Not so, here.
Have yourselves Ameri little Christmas!
