lyrics

That was the Christmas I'll never forget
That was the Christmas the one when you left
That was the Christmas, That was the Christmas
The year that I presumed your death

Chorus:
Everyone else has jingle bells
Holiday cheer and Happy New Year
All I have is a life of hell and
to wonder what's happening here

Every Christmas we think of your crime
Every Christmas you should've done time
Every Christmas, Every Christmas
We wonder as we sip mulled wine

Chorus

Every Christmas you're a fugitive
Every Christmas no more gifts
Every Christmas, Every Christmas
Tell me was it worth the risk

Chorus

Bridge:

Charges of embezzlement
pulled the rug from under me - ee
A suicide note you wrote
just so you could run around free-ee


This is the Christmas - traffic violation
This is the Christmas - false registration
This is the Christmas, This is the Christmas
That led to your incarceration

CHorus

This is the Christmas I'll never forget
This is the Christmas, The worst one yet
This is the Christmas, This is the Christmas
The year that you faked your death

Chorus

This is the Christmas I'll never forget
This is the Christmas I learned with regret
This is the Christmas, This is the Christmas
You lied and stole and faked your death

Chorus/Outro:
Everyone else has jingle bells
Holiday cheer and Happy New Year
All I have is a life of hell and
to wonder what's happening here
All I have is "what the hell happened here?"
All I have is "what the hell happened, dear?"
