lyrics

Black Friday rolled around, and on 92.1 the holidays began with "Deck the Halls." All the indie kids were grim as their parents ushered in the season hanging tinsel on the walls.

Daddy said, "Hey kids, come on! Let's jam in the station wagon and pick a tree out from the forest glen!" All the children sing as if their Santa Claus is not a myth: it's Christmastime in Washington again.

Pine needles line the floor as a husband carries out the door the tree they gathered around on Thursday morn'. By Saturday the light came down in tangles all across the town, and everyone forgot the savior born.

My wooden brother, rest in peace. Your memory will never cease. As long as I am living, I intend to remember you through summer, spring, and fall until the winter brings Christmastime in Washington again.
