Dazu eine kurze vorweihnachtliche Abhandlung aus der Bundesripabblick of Dengland:

When the last kalender-sheets
flattern through the winter-streets
and decemberwind is blowing
then is everybody knowing,
that it’s not allzuweit,
she does come the Weihnachtszeit.
All the Menschen, Leute, people,
flippen out of ihrem Stuebel
run to Kaufhof, Aldi, Mess
make Konsum and business.
Kaufen this und jenes Dings
and the churchtumglocke rings!

Manche holen sich a Taennschen
when this brennt, they cry: Attention!
Rufen for the Feuerwehr;
please come quick, and rescue her!
Goes the Taennschen off in Rauch
they are standing on the Schlauch.

In the kitchen of the house
mother makes the christmasschmaus.
She is working, shufting, bakes,
hit is now her Yoghurtkeks.
And the Opa says as Tester:
"We are killed bis zu Silvester.”

Then he fills the last glas wine,
yes, this is the christmastime.
Day by day does so vergang,
and the holy night does come.
You can think, you can remember,
this is immer in december!

Then the childrenlein are coming
candle-wachs is abwärts running.
Bing of Crosby Christmas sings
while the Towerglocke rings,
and the angels look so fine -
Well - this is the Weihnachtstime.

Baby-eyes are big and rund
the family feels kerngesund,
when unter’m Baum is hocking -
then nothing can them shocking.
They are so happy, are so fine
this happens in the christmastime.

The animals all in the house
the Hund, the Katz, the bird, the mouse,
are turning round the Weihnachtstree
enjoy the day as never nie
weil they find Kittekat and Schappi
im Geschenkkarton von Papi.

The family begins to sing
and wieder does a Gloeckchen ring.
Zum song vom gruenen Tannenbaum
die Traenen rennen down and down -
bis the mother ploetzlich flennt:
"Die Gans im Ofen is verbrennt!"
because her nose is very fine
wie jedes Jahr zur Christmastime.

So all can say the fest is nice,
but all of this hat seinen Preis.
The nervs are laying alle blank,
this is mir klar, by this Gestank
from the verbrennte Weihnachtsgans.

This year, three after nineteen ninety nine
this must etwas besonderes sein.
All people stimmen mit mir ein
and sing with me so loud and clear
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year.

In diesem Sinne eine besinnliche und barfüßige Weihnachtszeit
und in 110 Tagen ist Frühlingsanfang.
