I could see that all my clothes and money were gone"

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me, so

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeer's and his sleigh. So

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town"

"So this is Christmas and what have you done,
Another year over, a new one just begun"

“The news had come out in the First World War The bloody Red Baron was flying once
The Allied command ignored all of its
And called on Snoopy to do it again.”

"And all around
Reminders of you
Are everywhere I go

But sleep won't set me free
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me

Oh I miss you now, my love
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, my love"

“You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last”

Time for holiday music! Although, as Evil Scientist will bitterly tell you, I'm not a big fan of happy holiday music.

“If I could know within my heart, that you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love

And to be once again with you”

Song for a Winter's Night - G. Lightfoot

Someone Like You - Adele 21

Beautiful song on a beautiful album. When Adele gets her heart broken, she keeps notes in a “drunk diary” and turns it into amazing music. I also keep a journal, only my drunk scribblings look like something penned by a person with a brain injury. Afterward, the best I can do is write a pathetic blog entry like this one.
