Opening Lyrics

It was a long time ago, longer now than it seems

In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams

For the story that you are about to be told

Began with the holiday worlds of old

Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from

If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun

For the holidays are the result of much fuss

And hard work for the worlds that create them for us

Well, you see now quite simply that's all that they do

Making one unique holiday especially for you

But once a calamity ever so great

Occurred when two holidays met by mistake
