Christmas Creep

T'was the day after thanksgiving, and all through the store

Isles upon isles of Christmas decor

If I may request that you commit

To waiting until all saints day to sell that shit

I don't think I'm being unreasoned

There are some who want you to wait

Until November 12th when Remembrance has passed

Believing Christmas shit desecrate war vets

So for the sake of sanity have some restraint

Lets us get over Hallow's Eve first

55 days is plenty for Christmas

Please don't overlap it with while I don cosplay

Next to a pumpkin gorging on candy

And offending the religious
