No Ho Ho!

It was the day of Christmas
and all through my house

not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse

on the chimney I hung no stocking with care 
for I knew that St. Nick was not coming here 

just like it was for the last several years
no presents from Santa, just those lonely tears

I wanted an angel to be sent my way
but I guess I'll have to wait for another day

I know I was good, this much I can say
so where is my angel, please send her my way.
