Joe’s big holiday plans would be quite different this year
He would ruin the family Christmas party that was soon drawing near
Motivation was easy for this quite decent chap
For you see, his last six months were filled with unforeseen crap
First thing that happened was his car had been stolen
Then an infected wisdom tooth caused his face to get swollen
New financial debts incurred after losing his job
His girlfriend then left him for a surgeon named Bob
Now, December was here and with it the day he was dreading
That big family shindig in which he was made to feel guilty into attending
To see people happy and filled with such glee
Was just too much to witness during his own misery
There was only one way he would get through this horrid event
He conspired to get drunk making his life easy to forget
The day was now here for the big get together
Everyone had arrived, some wearing holiday sweaters
Uncles and Aunts with cousins galore
Nieces and nephews along with about fifty more
Joe felt himself falling into that sad state of blues
He began to walk towards the bar to create his amnesia with booze
As he was walking, hugs and comfort came from all family members
Their genuine love gave him something new to remember
Christmas was not about his own misery
It was about the love and support that you get from family
Joe went on to have fun being sober and staying dry
Even meeting his cousin’s single friend who had been invited to stop by
They both liked each other right from the start
Making Joe even happier his original plan fell apart
