Staring at the Amazon store front I've been shopping for days now I've had enough Can't even write a list How the hell does Santa do this? I've heard it's all in the giving But if you're gift-less They'll loose that loving feeling You're gonna have to settle For what I've got Which is a bag of old satsumas And a lot of love It might not be gold or frankincense I'm far too stingy It's Christmas who cares what you've spent? I waited for Black Friday Shoppers so ferocious I got myself a black eye day Considered something homemade But my baking won't last until the big day I've heard it's all in the giving But if you're gift-less They'll loose that loving feeling You're gonna have to settle For what I've got Which is a bag of old satsumas And a lot of love It might not be gold or frankincense I'm far too stingy It's Christmas who cares what you've spent? I've bought you something special this year, And I promise its not from Poundland It's from somewhere far more upmarket Somewhere more prestigious Where every little helps And no, you don't recognize that wrapping paper, No you don't And the best thing is, If you don't want it If you really don't want it I'll have it You're gonna have to settle For what I've got Which is a bag of old satsumas And a lot of love It might not be gold or frankincense I'm far too stingy It's Christmas who cares what you've spent?

about

Another Christmas song! It's a hobby of mine.

This year I ponder the act of gift giving and how frustrating it is.

"I've heard it's all in the giving
But if you're gift-less
They'll loose that loving feeling

You're gonna have to settle
For what I've got
Which is a bag of old satsumas
And a lot of love
It might not be gold or frankincense
I'm far too stingy
It's Christmas who cares what you've spent?"
