I made this up at work yesterday and felt compelled to share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Sing to the tune of White Christmas:

I’m dreaming of a Green Christmas  
Unlike the ones I used to know  
When the roads are icy,  
And driving’s dicey  
With yards of dirty piled snow

I’m dreaming of a Green Christmas  
With every Christmas dish I clean  
May your meals be yummy and lean  
And may all your Christmases be green

Cars will pass, see them glisten,  
Hear them crash, if you listen!  
A horrible sight,  
We’re slidin’ tonight,  
Drivin’ in a Winter Wonderland.

Spin around, face the wrong way,  
In the snow, it’s a long way.  
The engine will squeal,  
While I grip the wheel,  
Drivin’ in a Winter Wonderland.

In the left lane, someone built a snowman;  
We’ll pretend that he’s a circus clown.  
Ask me if I’ll stop and I’ll say “No, man!”  
“I’m gonna mow the (hmm-hmm humm-humm) down!”

Later on, we’ll perspire,  
As we change a flat tire.  
We’ll moan and we’ll bitch,  
‘Cause we’re in the ditch,  
Drivin’ in a Winter Wonderland.
