[Verse 1: Mat Musto]
The snow falling to my feet
I didn't hang up the lights or even put up a tree
I'm tired of jingly bells, mass texts, and candy canes
And all the happy Christmas songs are driving me insane
And I, I didn't buy any cards or wrap any gifts
'Cause I'll be all alone on December 25th
[Pre-Chorus: Mat Musto]
'Tis the season to find a reason (Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Last year's cheer maxed out my Visa (Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
The only thing I wrote down on my Christmas wish list
Is to let me sleep in on December 25th
[Chorus: Mat Musto & Tyler Carter]
How I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
Oh, oh, I light the fireplace
To burn up Santa's face
Because I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
[Verse 2: Tyler Carter]
All roads are icy and cold
I didn't answer my phone or make a man out of snow
I'm tired of TV shows, hot cocoa, and mistletoes
And the stupid Santa house and ugly Christmas clothes
And I wanna punch Rudolph in his big old shiny nose
'Cause I'll be spending Christmas alone
[Chorus: Mat Musto & Tyler Carter]
How I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
Oh, oh, I light the fireplace
To burn up Santa's face
Because I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays
[Bridge: Mat Musto & Tyler Carter]
I remember being restless on Christmas Eve
Got less and less presents, ages seven or seventeen
Maybe if you didn't leave for that guy in Tennessee
I'd hang up a stocking or decorate the tree
(Decorate the tree)
The darkest house on the street is where I'm gonna stay
(Where I'm gonna stay)
'Cause last year's electricity wasn't easy to pay
Tell the carolers, the Mormons and Jehovah's fucking gang
To stay the fuck away (To stay the fuck away, yeah)
[Chorus: Mat Musto & Tyler Carter]
How I hate, hate, hate (Oh, I hate the holidays)
I hate the holidays
I hate, hate, hate
I hate the holidays (Ooh, yeah)
And I don't even want Starbucks
'Cause this year's cups suck
Ha, ha, I hate, hate, hate (You know I hate)
I hate the holidays (Hate)
[Outro: Tyler Carter]
Ooh, hate
I hate the holidays
Hm, hm, yeah
