Christmas Murder Ballad - There’s something Festive in the Air!

There’s something festive in the air, It’s that Christmas time of year,
Things are peaceful all around, I listen out for sleigh bell sounds
It’s been a struggle, through and through, The shopping rush, there’s more to do,
But try I must to make things right, Christmas Day’s within my sights,

There’s something feral in the air, It’s that Christmas time of year
The eve it comes, the plans are done, They all complain, this should be fun,
Presents are all piled high, We gather round, a child cries
That’s it, that’s it, the final straw, My nerves are cooked, my feelings raw,

There’s something frightening in the air, It’s that Christmas time of year
I serve them all their Christmas lunch, But no, thank yous? They sit and munch
The Christmas pud, the final bit, I dish it out, I smile and sit.
Everyone is in one place, No one complains as I clear their plates,

There’s something fatal in the air, It’s that Christmas time of year
They’ve made their beds and now they lie, All quite still with glassy eyes,
I raise a toast, one just for me, The lights flash on the Christmas tree
Things are peaceful all around, I listen out for sleigh bell sounds
