Verse 1 God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Please relax your worried brows, The cookies burned, the tree fell down, The lights just shorted out somehow. The reindeer GPS is lost, Santa’s stuck in traffic lanes, But don’t you fear, it’s Christmas Eve, And chaos is the game! Verse 2 The carolers forgot the tune, They’re humming loud and proud, The baby’s crying, Grandma’s singing, Someone spilled the eggnog out. The turkey’s dry, the pie’s too sweet, The dog stole all the rolls, But gather ‘round the fireplace, And warm your weary souls. Chorus Oh tidings of comfort and cheer, (And laughter and snacks and good vibes!) Oh tidings of comfort and cheer, (Even if things didn’t go as planned!) Repeat the cheer, forget the fear, Let joy replace the panic here— Oh tidings of comfort and cheer! Verse 3 The kids are wired, it’s past bedtime, They’ve asked a thousand times, “Is Santa real? Are elves employed? And what’s his overtime?” The batteries are missing still, The toys need forty “A’s,” But wrapping paper saves the day, And boxes steal the praise. Verse 4 So laugh it off, embrace the mess, The noise, the fun, the cheer, These moments turn to memories We’ll tell again next year. Perfection’s not the Christmas goal, It’s love and shared delight, And maybe sneaking one more cookie Late into the night. Outro So rest ye merry, everyone, Let worries drift away, If Christmas isn’t picture-perfect— You’re doing it just right today.
