“When the snowman brings the snow, Well he just might like to know, He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face…Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday, When the kids start singing and the band begins to play, Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday, So let the bells ring out for Christmas…”
C’mon, who doesn’t love a bit of Wizzard this time of year? And, with just NINE SLEEPS to go, I have decided to sign off early – unofficially of course – and join the rest of the country on strike!
After all, if it’s good enough for ambulance crews, nurses, railway workers, bus drivers, Border Force staff, posties, driving examiners, teachers, university staff, and Co-op coffin makers, it’s good enough for me.
It also means I get to leave the South Coast today and travel up to the fat frozen North this weekend; mind you, it will probably take me a week to get back up there. Luckily I have a crate of booze – and a festive cocktail recipe book – from all you generous readers that I am taking with me.
But, naturally, my final musings of 2022 would not be complete without the traditional sing-a-long. So, with apologies to Mariah once again, strike up the band…
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
But a few drinks I still need
I could gobble a Santa Screwdriver
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want them all for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is booze
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
But Jingle Juice I still need
Mistletoe Shots I would love
Underneath the Christmas tree
I promise to stuff Boozy Grinch Punch
Even before I have had my lunch
A Fat Dirty Snowman all the way
Will bring a smile on Christmas Day
I just want them all for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is booze
I need a little extra this Christmas
Just something to feast my eyes upon
You know North Pole Punch is my fave
But please don’t make me wait too long
‘Cause nothing else will do tonight
With my throat open wide
What more can I do?
Readers, all I want for Christmas is booze
All I want for Christmas is booze, baby
All I want for Christmas is booze, baby
All I want for Christmas is booze, baby
All I want for Christmas is booze, baby
Have a good one. See you next year xx
