Christmas is a very special time of year Any minute now my relatives will all be here Please God don't let me run out of beer I'm thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas Fillin' my glass to the top with some holiday wishes Doesn't matter what you're sippin' It's the gift that keeps on givin' Just thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas My cousin showed up with a bottle of Peppermint shine And tomorrow I'll be cursin' him for this migraine of mine If Aunt Alice talks any longer I'm gonna need somethin' a little bit stronger I'm thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas Fillin' this glass to the top with some holiday wishes Doesn't matter what you're sippin' It's the gift that keeps on givin' Just thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas It's a long-standing family tradition To have a not-so-silent night Lit up like the lights we hung up in the kitchen I'm thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas Fillin' my glass to the top with some holiday wishes Doesn't matter what you're sippin' It's the gift that keeps on givin' Just thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas Yeah I'm thinkin' about drinkin' for Christmas
