Our Own Holidays

Let's create our own Christmastime Our own feast, our personal past time Let's celebrate Noel in May Let's celebrate Easter in January Let's fabricate our own history So we can make-up our own story. Let's be different Let's be tolerant Let's be exotic Let's be eccentric. Let's create our very own Let's start tomorrow at dawn Let's have Labor Day in November And Thanksgiving in December. Let's be creative Let's stay active So we can improve things Listen to the bells, to the rings. Let's also change the days Hoping that the sunrays Will change the sections In all freaking directions. Let's create our own holidays In some months, we'll get three pays Instead of two. Let's be consistent Sometimes different and inconsistent. This year, we're having our own festivals We're having our own carnivals Today's children refuse to listen They want to test their own specimen.
