Deck The Stress!

"I try to take it one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once."
- Ashleigh Brilliant

I've had enough of this Christmas season stress...

How about you? I'm hopping mad, and I'm not going to take it any more!

Let's DECK all this Christmas stress, what do you say? Turn up the volume, enjoy this Christmas Original, and leave all your Christmas stress behind...

~Deck The Stress!~

by Duncan Cary Palmer

To Be Sung to the Tune of ~You Know What~

Deck the malls with mad consumers,
Folly-la-la-la, it's Christmas time.
Bad decisions based on rumors,
Folly-la-la-la, it's Christmas time.
Why do we get so frenetic,
Ruining our holidays every year,
Chasing after futile visions,
Living busy lives, so insincere?

Up all night on Christmas Even,
Folly-la-la-la, it's Christmas time.
Wrapping gifts for Sue and Steven,
Folly-la-la-la, it's Christmas time.
We should play some games together,
Talking and laughing and sharing cheer.
There's still time to nix the pressure,
Focus on the things we all count dear.

Leave our cares and stress behind us;
Being all stressed out is such a crime.
Chores will be there after Christmas,
All of your concerns will turn out fine.
Smile, laugh, and hug each other,
Spending some time with friends, so sublime!
Christmas is a time of wonder,
Fill your days with love, it's Christmas time.

Have a Merry, Stress-Less Christmas!
