[Pre-Song Monologue]
So, Christmas is here again with its tinsel and lights. The city is covered in snow. At our house family and friends have gathered tonight to eat, drink, and share the holiday cheer. And this december, like decembers before, we find ourselves reflecting, contemplating our lives as another chapter comes to a close. So here I sit at the Christmas party, with a belly full of wine while the celebration dances around me and I dream of you. And you're singing to me

[Song]
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh

I jumped up
(just listen to the sleigh-bell song)
And I felt tipsy
(the snow is falling all around)
I can't stand up
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

So hold on to me this Christmas

[Mid-Song Monolgue]
But soon the music will fade, the last of the wine will be poured
And the dancing will cease. These old friends will make their way home to sleep a restless sleep as St. Nick makes his rounds. And by tomorrow afternoon, as the last of the wraping paper is tossed into the fire, this Christmas will be over. Why must it all go by so fast? Santa Claus, this Christmas, don't let these friends go home
Don't let the revelry end, and don't leave me here, alone

[Song]
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh

I jumped up
(just listen to the sleigh-bell song)
And I felt tipsy
(the snow is falling all around)
I can't stand up
(Santa Claus is coming to town)
So hold on to me this Christmas
