I Just Want Christmas to End

about

I wrote this song a couple of years ago after encountering the traditions of Blue Christmas and The Longest Night. These are gatherings around grief. Spaces for people to feel things other than merriment and cheer at Christmastime. I think such spaces are vital because the lights and jingles can be deafening this time of year for those of us living with pain, suffering and loss.

I Just Want Christmas To End is a song to make space for grief and loss at this time of year. Maybe a little hope snuck in there, too. I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

Last year you sat here beside me
This year I’m sitting alone
Wrapping the gifts you bought early
Drinking and reading my phone

Jesus they say that you came down
Well maybe you could come again
Cos’ we’re all supposed to be happy
But I just want Christmas to end

It hurts me to open those boxes
I made the kids put up the tree
The lights can stay tangled in the basement
I need all my strength just to breathe

Jesus they say that you came down
Well maybe you could come again
When we were all here we were happy
Now I just want Christmas to end

This is the longest night
The longest night
This is the longest night
And I cannot sleep

Jesus they say that you came down
Into our darkness and pain
Maybe next year I'll be happy
I just can’t do Christmas again
I just want Christmas to end
