I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas

"'Twere a couple days before Christmas and all through the neighborhood
not a snowman was built, 'cause nobody could.
Not a dusting of snow could be seen on the ground,
not even after we sent out the old bassett hound.
The weather was too nice, it was just a bit too warm.
And as I thought about it, one single tear it did form.
A snowless Christmas, it just couldn't be!
"Wait, a snowless Christmas?!" I shouted with glee.
No shoveling, no shivering, no walking through slush.
"This sure will be wonderful," I heard myself gush.
Hooray for Texas and its warm December,
this will be the first snowless Christmas I can remember.
Happy Christmas to all, I sure hope that it's merry.
As for me and my green Christmas I shall be glad... very!"
