Hard Candy Christmas

I'm hitting the hard stuff this morning. I didn't get much sleep at all last night. In fact, I fell asleep after 5 am this morning. Woke up at 7 am and then slept until 10 am. I rarely drink coffee. I don't think that I even own a coffee pot anymore. I think I gave the miniature coffee pot away that I did have, and someone gave it to me.  

I used my French press that I use on occasion for guests and loose-leaf tea. I'm glad that it wasn't packed away somewhere in storage. Man, coffee gives me the zoomies. I can feel it within a few minutes. I don't care for the revved-up feeling, but this morning I needed a little pick me up. 

I was reminded of the song "Hard Candy Christmas". I have always loved the lyrics to this song and wanted to share them today for anyone who is struggling through the holidays. We haven't celebrated Christmas in the traditional way in years. We celebrate the Messiah's life, death and resurrection every day and look forward to His return.

Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car

Maybe I'll drive so far
That I'll lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late

Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just Fine and dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow get me way down

Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on

Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

'Cause I'll be fine
(I'll be fine)
Oh, I'll be fine
