Christmas Is With Us Again

I've waited all autumn for winter to come
I have watched the dark evenings surrounding the sun
I have lighted my fire, the season's begun
Because Christmas is with us again
The fine decorations, they light up the town
It is crowded and bustling with thousands around
And it's all a big business, though profits are down
And Christmas is with us again
And it's tatty and tawdry and shabby and stale
And the spirit of Christmas is lined with fine ales
And we spend all our money, complain at the price
Forgetting the reason, the birth of the Christ

We're swimming in seasonal goodwill and cheer
It's the finest, the very best time of the year
And we're bound to enjoy it all now that it's here
Now that Christmas is with us again
