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!
