Well this list gets bigger year to year
Something that you're not supposed to fear
It's not the money that I've gotta spend
I'll pay lots 'cause I don't want to offend
But thinking of what every person wants
Turns my stomach in a couple of knots
I don't mind fighting through the crowded stores
Time I spend away from work I adore
But every year I use up 1 more idea
And another is not whispered in my ear
But I love when people open my gifts
It's that smile that you do it for
Someone tells you it's the thought that counts
Now I know what they mean
I'm looking forward to the holidays
And I know I shouldn't be afraid
but except for children I’m still drawing a blank
but soon it will come to me like a boomerang
Yes I love when people open my gifts
It's that smile that you do it for
Someone tells you it's the thought that counts
Now I know what they mean
