My scarf smells like cinnamon rolls,
And my gloves keep eating my fingers,
There’s a candy cane stuck in my hoodie pocket,
But I swear it wasn’t there yesterday.
Snowflakes keep landing sideways,
They look like paper cutouts from a lazy angel,
Someone wrapped a streetlight in tinsel,
And now it looks like it wants to sing karaoke.
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
Hot chocolate tastes like liquid wrapping paper,
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
Every jingle bell is slightly off key.
The gingerbread man is missing a leg,
Nobody admits to biting it first,
Christmas lights blink like they’re gossiping,
And the plastic reindeer refuses to smile.
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
Carols repeat like a broken ringtone,
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
Even silence smells like peppermint.
Icicles clink like spoons in the freezer,
The tree keeps dropping shiny dandruff,
Stockings stretched like sleepy socks,
But somehow Santa still believes in them.
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
Ugly sweaters grow more powerful each year,
Oh, oh, glitter in the snow,
We keep humming even when we don’t know the words.
