The Lyrics
I thought this traditional carol need to be relevant, but that "spend your money" had already been done. Time for a new twist that addresses something other than just spending cash.
Tis the time to spend on credit.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Not those little cards of debit.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Lo, this time of reckless spending
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Comes the day after Thanksgiving.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Time to charge up to your limit.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Even though you can't pay off it.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Debt amassing never ceases
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Till you shred your card to pieces
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Whiney kids pester their parents
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
For the latest "got to have-its"
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Malls are flowing with consumers
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Whose consumer debt all incurs.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Not those little cards of debit.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Lo, this time of reckless spending
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Comes the day after Thanksgiving.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Time to charge up to your limit.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Even though you can't pay off it.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Debt amassing never ceases
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Till you shred your card to pieces
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Whiney kids pester their parents
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
For the latest "got to have-its"
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Malls are flowing with consumers
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Whose consumer debt all incurs.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Fun
brought a smile to my face tonight 455
3 5's, no charge.
I relate to this one a little too much...I'm trying to be better. Instead of charging up my cards this year...I'm planning on charging up Mr. Pacholek's cards...; )
Pacings off a little, but it's still fun. Btw, around here they already started with the sales...called the pre-after-Thanksgiving sale, or whatever. ; /
