Im looking forward to Christmas Its sentimental I know But I just really like it I am hardly religious Id rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu To be honest And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism The commercialisation of an ancient religion To the westernisation of a dead Palestinian Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer But I still really like it I really like Christmas Though Im not expecting A visit from Jesus Ill be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun Ill be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun I dont go for ancient wisdom I dont believe just cause ideas are tenacious It means that theyre worthy I get freaked out by churches Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords But the lyrics are spooky And yes I have all of the usual objections to the miseducation Of children who in tax-exempt institutions are taught to externalise blame And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right or wrong But I quite like the songs Im not expecting big presents Ye olde combination of socks, jocks and chocolates Is just fine by me Cause Ill be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun Ill be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun And you my baby girl My jetlagged infant daughter Youll be handed round the room Like a puppy at a primary school And you wont understand But you will learn one day That wherever you are and whatever you face These are the people Wholl make you feel safe in the world My sweet blue-eyed girl And if, my baby girl, When youre twenty one or thirty one And Christmas comes around And you find yourself 9000 miles from home Youll know whatever comes Your brothers and sisters and me and your mum. Will be waiting for you in the sun Whenever you come Your brothers and sisters Your aunts and your uncles Your grandparents, cousins And me and your mum. Will be drinking white wine in the sun Waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun Darlin when Christmas comes Wellll waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun Wellll waiting for you in the sun Waiting for you Waiting I really like Christmas Its sentimental I know - MINCHIN, Tim
