3. Im Avoiding Christmas (1:34)
I’ve never been a big fan of Christmas and in recent years have spent several seasons alone. So, this
is to celebrate avoiding the jollity.

I`m Avoiding Christmas
No baubles decorating the tree
No cards in the post today for me
The turkey can rest easily
As I’m avoiding Christmas
No seasonal music in my local shops
Carol singers please do not stop
The tinsel can remain in its box
As I’m avoiding Christmas
Decorations up in the summer
Pantomimes designed for the dumber
Santa Claus is really a bummer
So I’m avoiding Christmas
If I were to give people presents
It could be rather pleasant
But I’d rather not have any presence
I think I’ll get out of the way
I don’t want to make work for the elves
As they strive to fill toy shop shelves
I’ll keep myself to myself
To get through the dreaded day
All that joviality
I do not think that it is for me
Have a nice time with your family
As I’m avoiding Christmas – this year
