A Different kind of Holiday Song

[grantcart]

Published on Dec 13, 2018


A gentle reminder that this time of year isn’t easy for everyone. Don’t feel guilty for enjoying the holidays, but don’t try to make others feel guilty for not enjoying them. Especially when we don’t know their story. This song is for anyone who finds themselves struggling this holiday season, or in seasons past. 💙


Happy, happy, happy holidays
Look at all the happy people
With a smile on their face
Seems like everybody’s in the mood to celebrate
Except for you...
Because you...
You’re not doing so great

Happy, they’re all happy
So, what’s wrong with you?
They’re all seeing red and green
But all you feel is blue
They like to laugh and roll their eyes
And call you a Scrooge
Because they...
They don’t know...
What you’ve been through

Oh, I wrote this song to say
That it’s okay to not be okay
And I know you’re tired and alone
And trying not to show
Anyone you feel this way

But you don’t owe anyone an explanation
Just do the best you can do...

To get through this happy holiday
Look at all the happy people
With a smile on their face
Know that in the future you might feel that way
But you’re allowed to feel how you feel today
You’re allowed to feel how you feel today
You don’t have to be happy
On this happy holiday.
