Have a holly, jolly Christmas*
It’s the best time of the year.
Let Houstonia show you how we roll,
With our guide to Yuletide cheer!
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
Take in a festive show—
The Nutcracker, always a winner,
Or frolic in fake snow!
Oh, ho the traffic though:
Road rage is ugly!
Somebody cut you off,
Curse them once for me!
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
And don’t forget the tree,
Hung with bobble ’stros, and other mementos,
Shining for all to see!
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
Eat your way around the world:
Say hello to those tamales you know,
And try the Bûche de Noël!
Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
Enjoy our H-Town guide.
We know better than to hope for snow,
But dude, we will abide!
