Yay for the Holidays
The holiday season is a family grudge match.
It disguises itself as a Christmas-lit palm tree.
We think it is lovely as it skateboards closer.
We forget the burnt turkey and fights.
We remember the season as a Christmas-lit palm tree.
We believe we will have a wonderful time.
We forget the burnt turkey and fights.
We want balloons and eggnog.
We believe we will have a wonderful time.
We think the season is lovely as it skateboards closer.
We want balloons and eggnog.
We want to have love, not a family grudge match.
