Codependent Christmas from Codependent Christmas by The Therapy Sisters

Mom got out her Christmas list like clockwork, July one
She ordered self-improvement books for each daughter and son
She likes to buy the things we need before the winter rush
We’ll have an old fashioned, codependent Christmas

Dad just smiles and hangs his head and tries hard not to drink
He feels like such a failure and December makes him think
This season should be perfect, which is why he ups and leaves
Before our old fashioned, codependent Christmas

We’ll sit around on Christmas Eve pretending not to fight
And we’re all sneaking whiskey while Grandma hangs the lights
We charged expensive presents at the mall with great regrets
It was only just Thanksgiving when we paid off last year’s debts

I feel so very guilty, I’ve not done enough this year
I know the whole world’s counting on my spreading Christmas cheer
I’ll binge on junk food till I’ve got the energy to fuss
And have and old fashioned, codependent Christmas

Let’s wrap up our identity for family and friends
And have an old fashioned, codependent Christmas.
