    Lyrics
    The stations of the cross won't play my single
    They're far too busy flogging old Kris Kringle
    With "Chestnuts Roasting," "Deck the Halls," and "Jingle Bells"
    Money talks and saccharin sells
    Any time of year

    And what's that on the corner by the cider stand?
    The silhouette reminds me of the Wicker Man
    But no, it's just a fifty-foot-tall Santa Claus
    Defying all of nature's laws
    Enforcing Christmas cheer

    But I don't mind the music and I don't mind the crowds
    And I'll take this Christmas, white or green or blue
    'Cause ever since I met you on that cold December day
    Yuletide always makes me think of you

    I met you at the local saturnalia
    You looked so sweet in your Green Man regalia
    We stood out on the porch and chanted "Hail Eris"
    You'd think that I'd have been embarrassed
    But I was not at all

    Later at the diner you were charming
    The waitress found your antics quite alarming
    For once, though, I just couldn't see the harm in that
    Your familiar's quite a friendly cat
    And very quiet and small

    I used to think the holidays were just a waste of time
    But now I've got a different point of view
    And ever since I met you on that cold December day
    Yuletide always makes me think of you

    It's Christmastime--the air is getting much too cool
    It's Christmastime--the frost is on the swimming pool
    But the wreath and the tree
    Have new meaning for me
    I hate Christmas, but I'm a fool for Yule

    And now I've got that old familiar yearning
    As you and I await the sun's returning
    The Yule log on the hearth is slowly burning down
    The circle of the year turns round
    A promise coming true

    There's no time like the present; there's no present like the time
    Every year when the world begins anew
    And ever since I met you on that cold December day
    Yuletide always makes me think of you
