Who took the ‘Merry’ out of Christmas? What happened since the days when Christmas was a feast of light? Now all candles are electric, making money for the happy few. Despite Christmas lights were back in the Dark Ages. Who took the ‘Merry’ out of Christmas? I used to think that Christmas was a feast of love. But wars for oil send millions of people on the run. When they come to where it’s safe, they’re met with hatred. Who took the ‘Merry’ out of Christmas? Once upon a long ago it was a feast of life. We speeded up the climate change, made the sea level rise and the harvests fail. Now millions starve to death we stuff our faces. These days… Christmas is a hoax, Christmas is a lie. How can you shop for presents while so many people die? Christmas is a fraud, Christmas is a fake. We’re supposed to share but al we do is TAKE, TAKE, TAKE! Once it was the Jews, now you blame Islam. But how can you blame anyone when your government sell the arms. Don’t let the fake blonde phoneys fool you. As they’ve been doing for much too long. Let’s Make Christmas Great Again! And may all your Christmases be Merry from now on.

I Hate Christmas (free) 03:17
I Hate Christmas I can't think of anything that's dumber To a grouch, Christmas is a bummer! Beaming faces everywhere, happiness is in the air I'm telling you, it isn't fair! I hate Christmas! People spending piles of cash on crap that ends up in the trash. Spare me from your Christmas bash. I hate Christmas! What happened to the Christmas thought of happiness and peace These days everyone gives in to glutony and greed Here comes Santa, girls and boys So, nag until you hurt your voice! I'll tell him where to stick his toys I hate Christmas! And if you want the truth, I ain't so crazy about New Years day either! I hate fireworks! Bah! Christmas carols to be sung, decorations to be hung Oh, yeah? Well, I stick out my tongue! I hate Christmas! Christmas bells play loud and strong Hurts my ears, all that ding dong Besides it goes on much too long I hate Christmas! I'd rather have a holiday without these christmas lights With a lot less cheerful singing, a truly silent night, yeah! Christmas Day is almost here When it's over, then I cheer I'm glad it's only once a year I hate Christmas!

about

in the dark days of december
we seem to forget
what is going on around us
it seems we can’t learn form the past
instead of joining hands to help each other
and save the planet
greed is ruling
war is raging
populism
nationalism
and even fascism
are taking the stage again

still

merry christmas (in spite of it all)

about

Pondertone Utrecht

In his music Patrick Tersteeg tries to redefine the borders between tradition and experiment, seriousness and lunacy. Everyday stories, surreal dreams, statements and sheer banter are part of the Pondertone vocabulary. Guitars, pianos and the lot are caressed and tortured, resulting in blend of after hours whiskybar music. ... more
