My house is full to bursting
And I can’t fit anymore
It’s time to reconsider
What I’m asking Santa for
I browsed through Neiman Marcus
But there’s nothing I’ve selected
I don’t have time to start to read
The books that I’ve collected
My drawers are full of socks, you see
My closets, full of shoes
Because of my prescriptions
I won’t ask for any booze
I’ve given up on candy
Cause the doctor says, “No sweets”
I don’t want pets; I’ve got ten sets
Of fancy cotton sheets
With all that satisfaction
There’s no hunger left to feed
I’ve got all that I want to have
And most of what I need
So, when I write to Santa
(Better get that done today)
Instead of dashing off a list
This is what I’ll say
Thank you for this time of year
The lights, the love, the life
Thank you for the lady
That you brought me for a wife
It seems like only yesterday
That she and I first met
And at a Christmas Party!
It’s not like I’d forget
So, leave my stocking empty
Lighten up your sleigh
When I see her smile
It’s like Christmas every day
So, put aside the shopping bag
Put aside the cart
And thank God for the person
Who gives your home its heart
