It’s My Least Favorite Time of the Year
(to the tune of “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”)
It’s my least favorite time of the year.
in the month of November put a dent in my cheer.
It’s my least favorite time of the year.
It’s those dark, time-changey days of the fall
When my sleep is disrupted,
Politicians corrupted can make my skin crawl.
It’s my least favorite time of them all.
People’s moods will be changing
There’s the stress of arranging
Parties that need lots of work.
There’ll be cooking and baking
And the need to be faking
A smile when encountering a jerk.
It’s my least favorite time of the year.
I know I’ll get through it
I’ve been able to do it without drinking beer,
Through my least favorite time of the year.

Thanks to all who help me go new places with hope every day I’m given, including YOU!
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Thanks for the morning laugh- I will have that tune stuck in my head all day 🙂
It’s one of my most favorite bloggers — Hi, Lisa! ❤
hahahahaha – cheers
Your laughter cheers me up, beth.
I absolutely love these lyrics, and I agree with every line. Humans should be able to hibernate in winter. Energy is naturally low at this time of year, and Crimbo craziness is the last thing we need!
I absolutely love your comments, Annabelle.
Hahahaha….love it!!!
Love you!
Wonderful!
Wonderful to see you!
You surely are something special, Ann.
You surely are special too, Mark.
Halloween is the most wonderful time of the year so it’s inevitable that what follows will be something of a letdown, but your song brightens the gloom.
Your comments always brighten my day, Chris.
The song your rewrite is based on is one of my least favorite songs ever. I remember driving to a therapist appointment one December in the late 90s and that song came on. I had recently been dumped, gotten downsized, and my last remaining grandparent had died within a 10 day period, and I distinctly remember thinking, “That song makes me want to drive my car into the concrete retainer here on the interstate.”
I didn’t, but that song just makes me SO MAD.
So, here’s what I can tell you – the same person who wrote that also wrote the theme song to Gilligan’s Island. Which makes me smile a little.
The holidays are hard. It helps to have a sense of humor.
Your comments help, Allison. Thank you.
🙂
Thanks for your wonderful smile, Derrick.
Now I have an ear worm. I don’t care. I’m going for the cheer!
Thanks for the cheer!
You’re funny, Ann – I like your song. During this least favorite time of the year we need you to cheer us up with your humor and message that we’re not alone.
Thank you so much!
Ann, Great lyrics!
But remember…it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Thanks for the great reminder, Alan.
My least favourite time of year is…………………………….
I have no idea, maybe Easter because dad died on Easter Sunday
I appreciate your sharing that, my friend.
Skip the parties, switch off politicians (the bad ones anyway), give jerks a leftover Halloween treat, have a beer if you want one, and turn this month around!
Will do, Maureen!
PS I look forward to you singing it live, here at the YoLN-J
It’s the most wonderful time when Maureen leaves two comments. Thank you!
Interesting lyrics–made me smile.
There is truth in your words.
One year I was singing my own words to the tune of “Jingle Bells.”
Christmas greed, Christmas greed
How much will we buy
we’re celebrating Christmas
and don’t remember why….ooooh…..
Instead of bringing tidings of comfort and joy, the months of November and December often cause stress for a lot of people.
Thank you for your interesting and clever lyrics, Mary!
Perfect lyrics, Ann. I sang right along with you. I hadn’t really thought about it, but it is quite honestly my least favorite time of year as well! 😦
Perfect comment as usual, my friend!
