I’m Keeping Christmas

The tinsel is hung and the star's up high I didn't like it, but it captured your eye We carried it home, covered each flaw There's a hole in the pines that we hoped no one saw We know it's too big, but it's beautifully lit From the outside, it'll look like it fit The table is set; why'd you pick Christmas Eve When people show up, you should ask them to leave If you had to pick someone You always picked me But I guess now you wanna be free And since nothing turned out at all How I hoped it would be I'm keeping Christmas You take the tree We'll have to divide all the odds and the ends Keep the apartment, I'm taking our friends Keep all the pictures you hung on the wall I don't like nostalgia, so you keep it all If you had to pick someone You always picked me But I guess now you wanna be free And since nothing turned out at all How I hoped it would be I'm keeping Christmas You take the tree I'm gonna unwrap every gift Untie the tightest ties See if I can find the thing That outdoes this surprise If you had to pick someone You always picked me But I guess now you wanna be free And since nothing turned out at all How I hoped it would be I'm keeping Christmas You take the tree
