Walking through a wonderland
Snow and mistletoe all around
You can hang your stocking by the fire
Rather wear mine on the town
Tried to light up the tree
A spark turned it all to ash
Sorry Santa Claus, you can just mail me cash
Everyone's excited for Christmas
Everyone, that is, except for me
Everyone's excited for Christmas
I could be but my bank account's empty
Saw a Santa Claus puking on third avenue
I used to sit on his lap
Come to think of it, he smelled like booze
I bet two weeks from now
He'll probably be unemployed
I'll run into him at the bar
Cuz whiskey's the best toy
Not so good at giving gifts, even worse at receiving
Naughty or nice I put it off until Christmas evening
Everyone's excited for Christmas
Everyone, that is, except for me
Everyone's excited for Christmas
I could be but my bank account's empty
Not enough snow to make a man, I'll have to settle for an angel
Climb the tree, put it on top, leave it there to dangle
Everyone's excited for Christmas
Everyone, that is, except for me
Everyone's excited for Christmas
Everyone, that is, except for me

I'm a sucker for 'indie' Christmas music and this quickly became one of my favourite albums of its kind. Every song's either genuinely jubilant, heartwarming, or both. Flint
Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2016
Two new songs from the Nashville musician (and drummer in Sad Baxter) reveal a talent for rock hooks and anthemic power pop aesthetics. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 11, 2022

Not a bad track on this entire compilation. Five hundred stars. A broad range of pop tunes to help bring alt Xmas music the recognition it deserves. Jim
