I'm Just Glad It's Not Christmas

My recollection is that Jimmy wrote a song called "Christmas Is Laughing At You", though all I remember is that title.  I know one of his finest post-FF songs is called "The Last Day of Christmas".  

Oh poor George, father of his country

He lost his day, to speak quite bluntly

He shares with forty other guys

And there’s no longer cherry pie

Mostly sales at used car dealers

Selling ATV four-wheelers

But I can smile and half-pretend

I’ve got big plans for the weekend

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

With the presents round the tree

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

This is not the way Christmas should be

Father’s Day is not so bad

All I do is call up Dad

We don’t have to talk too much

It’s just nice to stay in touch

So we talk about the Knicks

Or (very lightly) politics

Dad’s had his heartbreak, I don’t doubt it

But we never talk about it

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

With the mistletoe and the holly

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

‘Tis no season to be melancholy

Memorial Day’s for what’s been lost

And how we live and what’s the cost

We don’t like to think about the past

Or why the flags are at half-mast

And I, like any normal Yank,

Would rather leave the past a blank

And not think much about what’s dead
Pretend there’s better times ahead

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

With Santa Claus and all his little elves

I’m just glad it’s not Christmas

Cause I can’t stand to be all by myself
