Christmas Cheer
Hope everyone is well. I will get some reviewing done over this weekend and beyond. Meanwhile here's a little Christmas Cheer!!
Christmas Cheer
Word and music written and performed by Chris Price ©2025
Christmas advertising starts in August
When Santa and his reindeer are away
Got themselves a room in Alicante
Let’s hope they make it back for Christmas Day
The kids are over-excited, and mamma’s had enough
The turkey crown’s still frozen and the Christmas pud’s gone off
Grandma’s Christmas shopping at the market
Been there since the 31st of May
She likes to sing and dance to Christmas muzak
Been like that since Grandad passed away
The kids are over excited and grandad’s had enough
He’s keeled over backwards, so his Christmas time is up.
There’s gonna be no presents Christmas morning
Too much port and brandy on the way
Santa caught red handed drink n driving
The scuffers have impounded Santa’s sleigh
The kids are over-excited, and daddy’s had enough
Sixteen pints on Christmas Eve has finished daddy off
The kids are over-excited, the cat has just thrown up
Ate a plate of stuffing balls n I gotta clean it up
(For those not from where I live, 'the scuffers' is old UK slang for the police)

Best of the season to you, Crispy! Are you retired yet, or still driving? I hope there was no autobiographical content in this song! 😄

Thanks my friend, and best of the season to you and your family and friends in Canada.
No, it's not autobiographical!!
Still driving, though only part-time. No rest for the wicked as they say..

That is a very cynical, down to earth picture of Christmas, and I love it!
Great rocker. The cat throwing up is my favorite.
Really nice mix in it too, everything tight and clear.

sounds like my Christmases growing up, my did pissed off over nothing, my mom stressing over cooking and my sister crying for no apparent reason :). Catchy melody.

Nice rockin' Xmas tune.
I almost wonder if the lead is buried here -
Start with
There’s gonna be no presents Christmas morning
Too much port and brandy on the way
Santa caught red handed drink n driving
The scuffers have impounded Santa’s sleigh
The final line of the song can then be
Santa caught red handed drink n driving
The scuffers have impounded Santa’s sleigh
At the end: I also wonder if a verse about what happens to the Reindeer when they're impounded
Santa caught red handed drink n driving
The scuffers have impounded Santa’s sleigh
Untied the reigns and released all the Reindeer
There will be no presents underneath the tree
