Wednesday, February 9
With the kids’ foreheads ashen
And Gibson’s “The Passion”
For your sins you will fear!
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holy day Masses
To Confession he dashes
When sin come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all.
There'll be prayers against boasting
Whatever envy we’re hosting
And penances out in the snow
There'll be stunning saints’ stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christians long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There be much satisfy-ing
Our hearts will be dying
To sins we hold dear!
It's the most wonderful time of the year, ooh ah.
Woah, there'll be prayers the roasting
Those Holy Souls toasting
In penance for sins long ago.
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of sinners long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There be much satisfy-ing
And hearts will be burn-ing
In hopes that Christ will be near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
