lyrics

I really like Christmas
It's sentimental, I know
But I just really like it
I am hardly religious
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be honest
And yes, I have all of the usual objections
To consumerism
To the commercialisation of an ancient religion
To the westernisation of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
But I still really like it
I'm looking forward to Christmas
Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus

I'll be seeing my dad
My brothers and sister, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My brothers and sister, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

I don't go in for ancient wisdom
I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious, it means that they're worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords, but the lyrics are dodgy
And yes, I have all of the usual objections
To the miseducation of children who, in tax-exempt institutions
Are taught to externalise blame and to feel ashamed
And to judge things as plain right or wrong
But I quite like the songs
I'm not expecting big presents
The old combination of socks, pants and chocolates is just fine by me

'Cause I'll be seeing my dad
My brothers and sister, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

I really like Christmas
It's sentimental, I know

Lyrics by Tim Minchin
