of the more traditionall carols i think "silver bells" is my favorite. but then as most of you are aware i'm just a bit weird, so how about this one.....
Percy, The Puny Poinsettia
Percy the puny poinsettia is hanging his bloom in dismay If they had just kept him wetta he’d be a houseplant today Folks liked the other plants betta now he’s alone on the shelf Even a plant with no uncle or aunt shouldn’t spend Christmas Day by himself
Holiday shoppers would stop by the counter and pick up a plant to take home Until one by one all his friends were adopted and Percy was left all alone
Percy the puny poinsettia is hanging his bloom in dismay If they had just kept him wetta he’d be a houseplant today Folks liked the other plants betta now he’s alone on the shelf Even a plant with no uncle or aunt shouldn’t spend Christmas Day by himself
Then into the store on the night before Christmas came a poor little girl who was cryin’ But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide and she said “Can I please make him mine?”
Now Percy the puny poinsettia is standing beside Mr. Tree His leaves have never been redda, he’s as proud as a flower can be
Somebody made him feel betta, rescued him off of the shelf Even a plant with no uncle or aunt shouldn’t spend Christmas Day by himself
and then there's this one.................The Twelve Days After Christmas
The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight And so I chopped down that old pear tree And burnt it, just for spite Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves And very gently wrung the necks Of both those turtle doves.
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The third day after Christmas, my mother came down with the croup So I had to use those three French hens To make her chicken soup.
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The four calling birds were a big mistake For their language was obscene The five golden rings were completely fake And they turned my fingers putrid green.
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay So I sent the whole darn gaggle to The local A.S.P.C.A.
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The seventh day after Christmas, Oh what a mess I had found It seems the seven swans-a-swimming could'nt and they all had drowned
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
The eighth day after Christmas, before they could even suspect I bundled up the Twelve drummers drumming Eleven pipers piping Ten lords-a-leaping Nine ladies dancing Eight maids-a-milking (well, actually I kept *one* of the ladies) And sent them back collect
Then I took a cartridge and shot that blasted partridge My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
I wrote my true love "We are through, love!" And I said in so many words "Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the friggin Birds
Four calling birds, Three french hens, Two turtle doves And a partridge in a pear tree!"
And with my final cartridge and shot that blasted partridge ( I'm sure it's dead by now.) My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.
