I'm an old guy and the more connected I am through social media the less connected I feel.

Lyrics
Greetings for the Holidays E-mails I receive
but I'm not clear that they're sincere when forwarded with ease
Oh I wish for older days when people said to me
Merry Christmas with personality!
Call me sentimental but although we stay in touch
Facebook pics and emails don't impress me much
Super Hi-Res images are waving from my screen
but they just can't replace you here with me
LET"S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
everybody that I love be near
sharing joy and good times
connecting thoughtfully
LET'S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS this year
Presents near the Christmas tree Santa's on his way
Children by the fireplace listening for his sleigh
Jumping 'round excitedly until they fall asleep
precious memories that they will always keep
Standing 'round the evergreen with friends and family
Singing favorite Christmas songs done in harmony
Wide eyed kids surrounded by the people that they love
Hearing songs about the greatest gift from heaven up above!
LET"S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
everybody that I love be near
sharing joy and good times
connecting thoughtfully
LET'S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS this year
Don't send me an email! don't send me a text!
Cause I'm gonna be offline December 25th!
LET"S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
everybody that I love be near
sharing joy and good times
connecting thoughtfully
LET'S HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS this year
