Lyrics
"Fuss (A Heathen's Christmas)"
(Lyrics and music by Jeremy Facknitz, copyright 2024 ASCAP all rights reserved)
1.
There's a smell to these boxes
a mix of treasure and trash
caked in dust and seldomly seen
'til the Thanksgiving turkey's picked clean
2.
Much of this year we've ignored
these holiday trinkets we've stored
here's one of you on Santa Claus' knee
here's one I made for my mom in grade 3
We'll adorn our plastic tree and sing songs
CHORUS
Praising Jesus
like card-carryin' members
some of us heathens pretend in December
But only 'til noon Christmas Day
when the novelty's all worn away
3.
Then we'll pack up these boxes
A mix of treasure and trash
never wondering why we make such a fuss
rushing through this season mindlessly just
passing down what was passed on to us
