OK, the Christmas spirit ghost just flew past. And he haunted me, with that reverberating laugh of his, as he regurgitated his annual rebuke of my Christmas joy. “Bah! Funderbug!”
Sure, he’s a Christmas spirit ghost. But that’s just mean.
But, in his defense (which isn’t my typical perspective), he probably heard me playing my song, “The Christmas Spirit.” It’s sort of a parody of the story of Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol.”
(side note: If you haven’t seen “The Man Who Invented Christmas,” I recommend it.)
Anyway…
Hope your final Christmas shopping days for 2023 are going smoothly. And here’s the aforementioned song (and lyrics to the song):
Just in case you don’t see the video, you can also watch it on YouTube:

The Christmas Spirit
Didn’t wanna drive and look at no Christmas lights.
Didn’t wanna have to shovel no Christmas snow.
And I didn’t wanna scream out loud in the middle of a Christmas crowd.
Didn’t wanna have to say why I wouldn’t go.
And I didn’t wanna sing no sappy little Christmas songs.
Didn’t wanna see no perky little Christmas kid.
And I didn’t wanna shop at no mall or spend any money at all.
Didn’t wanna leave my house, but I’m glad I did.
‘Cause I could see it. I could hear it.
I could feel the Christmas Spirit.
Every moment, every minute,
I was thankful I was in it.
Now I savor every second when I’m near it, the Christmas Spirit.
Didn’t wanna get up early on Christmas day.
Didn’t wanna eat no ham or no Christmas pie.
And I didn’t wanna have to get dressed for any sort of Christmas guest.
Didn’t wanna smile, but I changed, and here is why…
‘Cause I could see it. I could hear it.
I could feel the Christmas Spirit.
Every moment, every minute,
I was thankful I was in it.
Now I savor every second when I’m near it, the Christmas Spirit.
