About the Song

Even if we don't all celebrate the same holidays, we can at least agree that spending them with family, friends, and bandmates is what's important.

We can also agree that those ridiculous holiday sweaters are consistently made of unbreathable fabrics. Enjoy!

Lyrics

I knew when I saw you in the red snuggie
That there was something on your white beard and your potbelly.
You make me feel so seasonal like the mall in December.

You hold your sack very well
Dripping toys. It's a freakin' show-n-tell.
I feel your joy with each ho ho you expel.

Around candles or a tree (ho ho)
We spend the holidays together (ho ho)
We can all overheat (ho ho)
In our holiday sweaters (ho ho)

Hey, I know probably not supposed to tell you this
But I'm your secret Santa
And I got you this: it's a hackysack.

Belly like a lump of gold
Everything you hug, you own.
You own it so well.

Heard you were raising reindeer in your backyard
And I thought that's harsh to keep a reindeer in a shed
Instead of doing what it loves, which is pulling a sled.

I could be the Mrs. to your hipster Santa
and we could live together.

With my granny glasses
We'd have a toy monopoly.

Around candles or a tree (ho ho)
We spend the holidays together (ho ho)
We can all overheat (ho ho)
In our holiday sweaters (ho ho)

Chanukkiyah or a wreath (ho ho)
We spend the holidays together (ho ho)
We can all overeat (ho ho)
At our holiday dinners forever

Forever...Forever...
