about

It's been...a whole year. To help you celebrate your very 2020 Xmas, we present you a very 2020 Xmas song.

Stay safe, friends, and thank you for the love you've shown us this year. In the face of everything, let's get through to the other side.

lyrics

The Christmas tree is still in the attic
Bing Crosby is singing, but I can't hear
The neighbors upstairs have been at it
For hours; I grab another beer

'Cause I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Drinking alone on Christmas
It's my own celebration of alienation
I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Again...
Again...

Didn't bother with turkey or mistletoe
Resentment and anger will keep me full
Invited a catgirl but she didn't show
It's just me and Jack on this lonely yule

'Cause I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Drinking alone on Christmas
It's my own celebration of alienation
I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Again...
Again...

Quarter past midnight, I'm not so alone
The catgirl shows up with some of her friends
Evan and Jim and Don Julio
We get some mixers and settle in

'Cause I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Drinking alone on Christmas
It's my own celebration of alienation
I'm drinking alone on Christmas
Again...
Again...
Again...
Again...
