	The most magical thing about Christmas Is an imposed proximity To ideals that are different from yours You say: "I think you're a whiny, entitled millennial" I say: "I think you've destroyed my faith in humanity" ...as we catch-up around the open fire You want to see the snowflakes fall It's a dream you've had for the longest time And all I want is a gammon to cure But I feel this boiling up inside of me A no-man's land of common ground to find It's a cease-fire insult kickabout, a game No Silent Night from both sides, it's Christmas Time You shout until you're red in the face; I pout, a perfect look of distaste; Without this common ground where would we be now? You say: “you snowflake, you socialist, you urban elite” I say: “you gammon, this selfish, patriotic conceit is awful” ...as we banter round the Christmas tree You want to see the snowflakes fall It's a dream you've had for the longest time And all I want is a gammon to cure But I feel this boiling up inside of me A no-man's land of common ground to find It's a cease-fire insult kickabout, a game No Silent Night from both sides it's Christmas Time
