It's christmas time again 
It's getting cold outside 
The snow is on the ground 
The store fronts are alight 
With all the little things and diamonds rings 
That make it all feel nice 

Do I really need 
A brand new this or that 
Made by some little kid China 
And encased plastic wrap 
For which I'm only just a pit stop 
On it's journey to the trash 

Maybe we don't need a brand new fancy car 
Maybe if we love each then we're christmas superstars 
Maybe all we need is to care, maybe all we need is empathy 
For you and me 

Cat's meow and dogs will bark 
Santa Claus is reading Marx 
Our commodity society 
Only leaves us in the dark 
The only true light is love 
And you can't put it a credit card 

I don't want anything that you can buy in a store 
I just want peace and understanding in the world and nothing more 
We don't need more TVs or plasma screens or cut off jeans 
We just need love for Christmas 

Dear Santa

Now I know I don't write a lot
Being you're just a commoditized figment of our collective imagination
But I have special request this year 
And I thought you might be able to help me 

I don't need a new bike, or fancy shoes. 
I don't want an iphone or a U-boat or a kindle to read the news. Oh no

I only ask for peace on earth, for love among all people
That we might take a moment out of our day to try 
And understand where someone's coming from 
And what they're all about before we dismiss them

I know it's a tall order Santa, but times are tough and we could use your help

Well, Chag Sameach

Merry Christmas 

Love
AG
