Every flight is grounded from New York to la
"snow is blowing, no one's going nowhere
"so they say
Babies crying
Momma's trying hard to get them home
This is christmas, baby, when you're gone

Cookies in the oven are blackened underneath
And what's even more
A nail in the door where no one's hung a wreath
Sleigh bells on the radio have static
On the sound
This is christmas without you around

No time like the present for a present
From the tree
I don't want one
It ain't no fun without you here with me

And I'm not feeling warmer
From the fireplace dvd
Burning flames and reindeer games
Keep playing on tv
Snow is staying
News is saying folks should just stay home
This is christmas, without you, alone

No time like the present for a present
From the tree
I don't want one
It ain't no fun without you here with me

Standing under mistletoe
With no one else around
Throwing snowballs without snowfall
Nothing on the ground
Now it's evening, the tree is leaning
It's tumbling to the floor

Even though you're kind of jewish
And our love is kind of new-ish
This christmas isn't christmas anymore
