Red and Green Christmas
We wish you a red and green Christmas
It was Christmas Eve in the workshop
And the elves were feeling jolly
Their little woollen hats
Were decked with mistletoe and holly.
Their faces alight with smiles
Not a sad thought in their heads
For Santa had agreed that Christmas
Should be green and red.
No blousy buxom Barbies
Or action men with guns
Just lots of fair-trade choc to share
And family games – what fun.
No nasty plastic nonsense
To clutter up the ocean
And every elven heart was full
Of lovely warm emotions.
Rudolph and his flight crew
Were chowing down on hemp
And Santa’s brand new bamboo suit
Was considered heaven sent.
Only peaceful eco presents
Were going to be delivered
Wooden toys for girls and boys
No dodgy bows or quivers.
Stockings filled with fruit and nuts
And other veggie treats
All people of the world
Would be dispensed enough to eat.
The elves had struck a deal with God
For an interplanetary ship
To scoop up all the capitalists
On their Christmas list.
So May and Trump and Putin
Are headed for the sun
To become pork scratching
For the evil they have done.

I like instead of merry you use red and green with such a good effect!
