Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mom got out her Christmas list
Like clockwork July one
She ordered self-improvement books
For each daughter and son
She likes to buy the things we need
Before the winter rush
We'll have an old fashioned codependent Christmas
[Verse 2]
Fa-la-la-la (Ho, ho)
Fa-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Dad just smiles and hangs his head
And tries hard not to drink
He feels like such a failure
And December makes him think
This season must be perfect
And that's why he ups and leaves
Before our old fashioned codependent Christmas
[Verse 4]
Fa-la-la-la (Ho, ho)
Fa-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la
[Verse 5]
We'll sit around on Christmas Eve
Pretending not to fight
And we're all sneaking whiskey
While Grandma hangs the lights
We charged expensive presents at the mall
With great regrets
It was only just Thanksgiving
When we paid off last year's debts
[Verse 6]
I feel so very guilty
I've not done enough this year
I know the whole world's counting on my
Spreading Christmas cheer
I'll binge on junk food till I've got the energy to fuss
And have an old fashioned codependent Christmas
[Verse 7]
Fa-la-la-la
[Verse 8]
Let's wrap up our identities for family and friends
And have an old fashioned codependent Christmas
Fa-la-la-la (Ho, ho)
Fa-la-la
