CHRISTMAS DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

 

There will be no wreath on the door

Not a single decoration will be seen

Cards will be recycled unopened

Christmas doesn’t live here anymore

 

There will be no gifts beneath the tree

There will be no turkey with all the trimmings

There will be no festive merriment

Christmas doesn’t live here anymore

 

There will be no season’s greetings

There will be no Christmas joy

There will be no festive spirit

Christmas doesn’t live here anymore

 

This Christmas day will be like any other day

A day full of abject loneliness

For since my darling joined the angels

Christmas doesn’t live here anymore
