I've always been a fan of song parodies (good ones at least) ever since I encountered Walt Kelly and his Deck Us All With Boston Charlie in the Pogo comic strip. Mad Magazine provided more parody fuel to the fire. What else could I do but write some of my own? Here's my take on this Christmas classic:

                    It's beginning to look a lot like shopping.
                    In every store in town.
                    Spending money that you don't have
                    On gifts no one will like.
                    Cause it's Christmas - Oh what a delight!

It goes on for several more annoying Bah Humbug verses.
