about

A brand new Christmas offering for the festive Holiday season. This one's all about the treasured, lovingly-collected decor that re-emerges from the garage, the attic, the basement, the crawl space and all of our Santa Closets when December rolls around. Were the light strings all tangled up like this last year? Wow, I coulda sworn our reindeer were bigger than this. Hmm, the paint seems to be chipping off and, Hey, what's with all this loose glitter?

lyrics

CHRISTMAS STUFF

We've got Christmas stuff
Out in the garage
We've got a big ol' plastic Santa Claus with his entourage
Christmas stuff
We're deckin' the halls
Inside and outside; the windows and walls

Up in the rafters and down it all comes
Nutcracker soldiers with miniature drums
Boxes and bins full
Of holly and tinsel
And lots of little labels for the TOs and the FROMs

Christmas stuff
Dickensian scenes
We've got a big ol' trunk that's full of nothin' but figurines
Christmas stuff
They tell me it's rare
Stuff that you can't get anywhere

We like it bright when it's effervescent
We like the lights when they're incandescent

(SAX SOLO)

Down in the basement the snowmen are stored
More than a few things we couldn't afford
We keep it sane here
With eight tiny reindeer
But you should see the neighbors goin' way overboard
You should see the neighbors goin' way overboard

We've got Christmas stuff
Out in the garage
Yeah, we've got a big ol' plastic Santa Claus with his entourage
Christmas stuff
You know what I mean
Everything in crimson and green

I wonder if there's enough
Room for our Christmas stuff
When it's time to pack it away
