Holiday Edition

To the tune of “My Favorite Things,” by Julie Andrews

Postcards and letters and photos and boxes

Mincemeat and crab legs and bagels with loxes

Brand new nice slippers my Santa may bring

These are a few of my holiday things

When the year ends

When the tree’s down

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember these holidays things

And then I don’t feel like it’s such a big deal because, God willing, it’ll all happen again next year and mincemeat (name origin, please?) is actually quite difficult to find and really only tastes good between December 23 - January 1.
