Strangest Christmas Yet

Lyrics

Every year the wife and I lay out the welcome mat
 For all the in-laws far and wide and our third cousin, Jack
 We trim the tree and hang the wreath and every time forget
 That what comes through our door each year
 is the strangest Christmas yet
 Two full days fore Christmas Eve, grandma comes by car
 With a pumpkin pie that she had baked that tastes like her cigar
 She pulls up in a pickup truck with crazy Uncle Don
 He parks it where he does each year, right on our front lawn
 It's the strangest Christmas yet, so strange
 Strangest Christmas yet, Wooo
 It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet
 Oh lookie here the children dear have built a roaring fire
 Too bad it's in our driveway and with a stolen tire
 Then came time for photographs the camera's set to strobe
 And I said to Uncle Bob, "You wanna close your robe?"
 Cousin Billy likes his guns, and naturally he came armed
 He's on the lookout for invaders from the planet Zarn
 Uncle Teddy put on weight, he'd gotten rather large
 We couldn't take him through the door, he stayed in the garage
 It's the strangest Christmas yet, how strange
 Strangest Christmas yet, really strange
 It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet
 We blessed the food in different faith's that seemed to number seven
 And say a prayer that with just some help just might get to heaven
 Then from the garage we hear a sound that makes us ache
 Uncle Teddy with a voice so pure that your heart would break
 "Joy to the world" he knows no other line
 "Joy to the world" he sings it one more time
 "Joy to the world" we here it once again
 We all take hands and quiet down and let it all sink in
 I take him out a plate of food and thank him for the song
 He says so sorry that I might've got the words a little wrong
 We tip our glasses, give a hug, and toast to Christmas cheer
 And count the months until we get to see them all next year
 It's the strangest Christmas yet, we love it
 Strangest Christmas yet, can't wait till next year
 It'll take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet
 Hey put down that spatula!
 Take some time to forget the strangest Christmas yet
