Christmas Gifts

[intro] Oh, the season of giving has come once again A time of great joy, but also great pain The pressure is mounting, the stress is so real As I try to find gifts that will make loved ones squeal [verse 1] Aunt Martha's so tricky, what does she need? A scarf or a sweater, or something to read? I'm wandering stores with a cart and a list Hoping the perfect gift hasn't been missed Will she like what I choose? Will it sit on a shelf? This gift-giving mission's consuming myself [verse 2] The wrapping paper tangles, the tape's running low The scissors are dull, and my patience won't grow Each package looks lumpy, each ribbon's askew I'm starting to wonder if I'll make it through Crisp corners, neat folds - they're harder than math I'm leaving behind me a crumpled gift path [verse 3] Shipping deadlines are looming, the postal lines long I'm crossing my fingers that nothing goes wrong Will Grandpa's gift make it to his small Texas town? Will the package stay safe or get dropped and torn down? Tracking numbers are dancing, a digital prayer That each precious present arrives with such care [verse 4] For nephews and cousins, what's trendy this year? A game or a gadget to bring them good cheer? The teenage boy wants something cool and unique But my choices might make him just roll his eyes bleak Am I hip? Am I cool? Or just totally lame? This gift-giving guesswork is part of the game [verse 5] But despite all the stress and the wrapping-room tears There's magic that comes with these gift-giving years The love that goes into each carefully wrapped The thought and the care that cannot be mapped So I'll brave every challenge with hope in my heart Knowing giving's the most important part [outro] So here's to the season of giving with love With presents that fit like a gift from above Though wrapping's imperfect and choices aren't neat The joy of connection makes everything sweet!
