Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for days of auld lang syne.

Holiday Letter

You know my mother's cousin, Heather?
She always sends the loveliest holiday letter
Once a year she sits down in the kitchen
With a glass of wine in the evening light
A young Stevie Wonder sings "Silver Bells"
And she writes
She writes
"Chloe's doing mostly fine
She's playing loud music for nickels and dimes
So she can buy hearing aids one at a time someday
But I can't say
I've ever heard the girl complain
Peter beats to another drum
Studying old court cases for fun
I can see him wearing a duster on the metro train
Because he's always had a thing for chasing the thrills
He burns like a match and relishes in the chills of exhaustion
Come next summer, he'll be moving to Washington, DC"
Once a year she sits down in the kitchen
With a vodka cran in the evening light
A young Stevie Wonder sings "Silver Bells"
And she writes
And she writes
Now that the teenage years are finally up on the shelf
She's rediscovering time as a thing for herself
She writes "Lord, my mind at rest is like a tape still stuck in the deck
Christmas '95 playing over again on a reel
But by the skin on my teeth
And a few more gray hairs
By the silver tinsel on the wreath
Somehow, we're all still here"
Once a year she sits down in the kitchen
With a glass of wine in the evening light
A young Stevie Wonder sings "Silver Bells"
And she writes
And she writes
Only once a year she sits down in the kitchen
With a box of wine in the fading light
A young Stevie Wonder sings "Silver Bells"
And she writes
And she writes

Christmas Night Drive

Christmas night
Take a drive
See the lights and taste a dream
Through the window
My Christmas tree

The holy ghost and the lady
Full of grace brought a baby
And I got, in turn, eternal salvation
And a star on the pine
'Cause it's Christmastime in the Taurus Moon again
Clear the air for the changes around and within
The prophecy is all but fulfilled not until we open our hearts
The holy ghost and the lady
Full of grace brought a baby
And I got, in turn, eternal salvation
And a star on the pine
