To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
O Clearance Sale, O Clearance Sale Red tags are so enticing
O Clearance Sale, O Clearance Sale I'm loving that low pricing
You call me crazy, but, oh my - You just paid four times more than I!
O Clearance Sale; the mall's a cake And you are the icing.

O Bargain Bin, O Bargain Bin Buy two and get the third free
O Bargain Bin, O Bargain Bin O Watch those elbows near me
Who cares what Auntie Jane will say
'Cause she'll return it anyway!
O Bargain Bin, O Bargain Bin Who knows what treasures I'll see?

O Gift Receipt, O Gift Receipt O Where the heck did you go?
O Gift Receipt, O Gift Receipt Right here a minute a-go
I cannot stand these gold cuff links
And Michael Bolton's CD stinks
O Gift Receipt, O Gift Receipt I fear you're lost in the snow!

To the tune of: "She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"
It'll be chaos 'round the kitchen when they come
Yes, it'll be chaos 'round the kitchen when they come
A fair warning to your Corning
That the Chef will be soaring, (hiccup)
It'll be chaos 'round the kitchen when they come

It'll be dressing and whiskey cookies when they come
It'll be dressing and whiskey cookies when they come
A southern recipe for flying is what keeps us all from dying, (hiccup)
It'll be dressing and whiskey cookies when they come

All the beer will flow like rivers when they come
Oh the gin will flow like rivers when they come
Yes the (hiccup) will flow like rivers
'Cause their greetings give us shivers
Yes the (hiccup) will flow like rivers when they come

To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
America, America It is the time of Christmas
America, America It is the time of Christmas
Celebrate the time to be kind
Family in our hearts and on our mind
America, America It is the time of Christmas

America, America You are a place of beauty
America, America You are a place of beauty
Nowhere else will you ever see
So many colors called family
America, America You are a place of beauty

America, America Your freedom shines out brightly
America, America Your freedom shines out brightly
Free to give and to receive
A place for dreamers to believe
America, America Your freedom shines out brightly

To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
Oh, longingly I sing to thee
my fair young man, my laddie
I sing of times still fresh and new
when we were their dear darlings
We knew not why but only when
the moments we together came
the sun came forth, so brightly shown
that every care diminished

How silently I came to know
the quiet joy of sharing
Your smile so warmed my tender heart
that could no cloud encumber
I felt your eyes, their earnest glance
your nearness knew my rapt response
For only you my heart within
would welcome every gladness

Still are you my dear first and true
my single light in vagueness
My cause of laughter and delight
both known in lovely sweetness
For you I came and waited oft
to know your touch so brief, so soft
In new surprise and heavenly light
where no one other entered

For now is only memory
that care and lovely wonder
Though none will fill that moment well
but your fond face so tender
It comes to me now fleetingly
that distant longing oh so sweet
For that dear one, my precious one
shall never come another

Mary Hagen, Minneapolis, MN

To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
Three wise men came to Bethlehem,
each on a dromedary.
They disembarked and said their names
were Curly, Moe and Larry.
Moe tripped and dropped the frankincense,
then ripped his pants upon the fence,
thus spreading mirth o'er all the earth
to make our Christmas merry.
