Whether you're burning puddings, candles, Midnight oil or joss sticks, Whether you're theists, atheists, Panentheists or agnostics, Whether you're tucked up snug indoors - While the outside world is storming ... Or shivering in the icy blasts (Produced by global warming?), Whether you're terrified by Teheran And a nuclear Iran, Or wondering how we'll ever leave Iraq, Afghanistan, Whether banks and politicians Drive you to depression, Or you trust their selfless love To end this grim recession, Anything that cheers us up Must be a good idea, So Merry Christmas, everyone, And have a great New Year.
