The holiday season is about love, patience and togetherness.
This song is not.

lyrics

Tis the season to love your fellow man
And celebrate in peace, any way that you can

But sometimes it ain’t as easy as it sounds
And you and me might have to go a couple rounds

It’s all ‘cause your parents come to town

With the same old song, they stay too long 'n they tear my cooking down
And you just sit there, laughing at it all

So don’t be too surprised when I deck your hall, there’s gonna be a

War on Xmas, a war on Xmas

We will feel like we got hit by Santa’s sleigh

I’m not bluffing, I’m gonna hurl your chestnut stuffing
In this War on Xmas, Xmas Day! 



And grandma’s china, it won’t throw itself
(I’m right here if you think you got the arm)
And I won’t stop until I empty the whole damn shelf
(Your turkey’s settin’ off the smoke alarm)
And thanks alot for not shoveling our front walk
(The game was on and I just forgot)
When you go out for a beer, I’m changing our front lock
(I’d say I’m sorry but I’m really not, cuz there’s a)

War on Xmas, war on xmas

And we don’t tone it down in mixed companyyyy-ay-ee-ay
When will you admit, you're just a lazy sack of *CENSORED*
Yeah it’s a War on Xmas, Xmas Day!

'n If we hafta spend 1 more goddamn minute in this goddamn mall
Our *CENSORED* heads are gonna *CENSORED* burst

Murder-suicide sounds pretty goddamn good, pretty goddamn now

But we keep fighting over who gets to be the lucky one to die first

Yeah, it's gonna be a war on Xmas, a war on xmas, and when they

See us reaching for the candlesticks, they better fall to their knees and pray
It's gonna be screaming and tears, at least through New Year's

In this War on Xmas, Xmas Day!
