A Michigan Christmas: ~ The Song ~

To be sung to the tune of “It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas.” This will probably make the most sense to you if you're from southern Michigan… but I think mostly everyone can relate. =)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Here in Michigan.

Take a look at the fallen leaves,

Dying and broken trees.

It's icy, sleety, slushy streets again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Soon the gales will start,

And the emptiest thing you'll feel

Is the echoing appeal

Of your breaking heart.

There's power outages coming,

And noses are running.

The car froze up overnight.

Wake up at seven,

No light 'til eleven,

Oh, what a terrible sight.

I hope to God that Santa Claus

Will make it here alright!

Pouring rain in December's so depressing.

Cold without a flake.

There's a hovering sense of gloom

Covering every room—

A dismal feeling none of us can shake.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

All the sky is gray.

But the awfullest thing of all

Is we know the snow won't fall

On Christmas Day.
