Holiday Budget Blues

Verse

It’s December, lights are twinkling bright

Our wallets hide away, out of sight

You say, “Let’s spend just a little more”

I say, “Didn’t we agree on the budget before?”

Chorus

Holiday budget blues, oh what a fight

Trying not to max out cards tonight

Gift receipts stacked up to the sky

Yet somehow, the bills multiply

Verse

Blended family, stocking stuffers galore

The credit card’s smokin', can’t take no more

You wink and say, “It’s the season to spend”

I reply, “Dear, let's not pretend.”

Chorus

Holiday budget blues, oh what a fight

Trying not to max out cards tonight

Gift receipts stacked up to the sky

Yet somehow, the bills multiply

Bridge

We laugh and we argue, it’s all in good cheer

Love and the budget, both get squeezed here

But come Christmas morning, joy wins the day

Debt or no debt, in love we stay

Chorus

Holiday budget blues, now that's our song

Spending too much but still getting along

Laughing as we face January's sight

Together, we’ll survive the financial fright
