LYRICS
I’m sure going to miss this
No candy canes at Christmas
The devil has them away
There’ll be no sugar on Christmas Day
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday
There’s no gas in the tank
No rubber for the wheels
Still we thank God that Christmas feels
Yank our hopes from depths sank
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday
Poor Santa
Can’t even bring us coal
But I won’t cry to Ma or Pa
Love can fill our stockings hole

I was listening to my mother being interviewed about her life. During World War II, she was a little girl (5 to 8-years-old.) The war brought about many shortages including gas, rubber and sugar.
