Only 364 Shopping Days 'Til Christmas
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

Only 364 more shopping days 'til Christmas
There are only 364 days left until Christmas, which means the countdown to the holiday season has already begun.

The kids have already started making out their wish list
Children are already starting to create their Christmas wish list of brand new toys they want for the holiday season.

All of those brand new toys they opened up this morning
All the new toys the children just opened on Christmas morning will soon become boring and unexciting.

Should come with a warning: soon becomes old and boring.
Toys may seem new and exciting at first, but they quickly lose their allure and become mundane in a short amount of time.

Back to the malls there's not one second to waste
After Christmas, it's time to start shopping again and there's no time to waste as time is ticking away before the next holiday season.

Use Grandma's car and get a handicapped parking space
Use grandma's car to go shopping and take advantage of her handicap permit to get a good parking spot at the mall.

Manger scenes are on sale get a free Baby Jesus
Manger scenes are now on sale, and you can get a free baby Jesus included with your purchase.

So many gifts to buy, so little cash to spend
There are many gifts to buy for loved ones, but unfortunately there is limited money to spend on these purchases.

The second to spend, The second that it ends
As soon as Christmas ends, it's time to start spending again for the next holiday season.

It starts all over again.
Once the holiday season is over, it's time to start preparing again for the next one.

Might as well leave the tree up and the lights right where they are
It might be easier to leave the tree up and the lights already in place, rather than take them down and put them back up again in a few short months.

It may seem far away, but it's really not that far
Although Christmas seems like it's a long time from now, it will come up faster than expected.

I say that's 364 days times 24 hours
There are 364 days until Christmas, which is the equivalent of 8,736 hours.

4 times 4 is 16
Multiplying 4 by 4 results in 16.

4 times 6 is 24 plus 1 is 25
Multiplying 4 by 6 results in 24 and adding 1 results in 25.

4 times 3 is 12 plus 4 is 14
Multiplying 4 by 3 results in 12 and adding 4 results in 14.

Drop the zeroes down
Eliminate the zeroes from the end of the following numbers in the calculations.

2 times 4 is 8
Multiplying 2 by 4 results in 8.

2 times 6 is 12 plus 2 is 14
Multiplying 2 by 6 results in 12, and adding 2 results in 14.

2 times 3 is 6 plus 7
Multiplying 2 by 3 results in 6, and adding 7 results in 13.

That's 6
The end result of the previous calculations is 6.

8 plus 5 is 13
Adding 8 and 5 results in 13.

14 times 2 is 7
Multiplying 14 by 2 results in 28, and adding the two digits together results in 10. Adding 1 and 0 results in 1.

7 plus 1 That's 8,736 hours to Christmas
Adding the previous calculations together results in 8,736 hours until Christmas.

My gosh that ain't much time I think I' better go I think that was right
With only 8,736 hours until Christmas, time is running out and it's time to start shopping!

I can't believe how little stress-free time that gives us
With such a short amount of time until Christmas, there is not much stress-free time for holiday preparations.

The credit's all been maxed out but there's still layaway
Credit cards may be maxed out, but items can still be put on layaway to be paid off before the holiday season starts.

Start now and you might pay it off before the holiday
Beginning to purchase holiday gifts now and putting them on layaway could result in being able to pay them off before the holiday season hits.

Scratch out those names we can re-use those Christmas cards
To save time and money, names on old Christmas cards can be scratched out and then the cards can be re-used the following year.

Save the wrapping paper and keep the snow chains on the tires
To also save time and money, unworn wrapping paper can be saved and used the following year, and snow chains on car tires don't need to be removed and re-added every year.

Blow blow blow and lots of dough
It's easy to blow through a lot of money while shopping for the holiday season.

No here we go again... HO HO HO
It's time to start preparing for the holiday season, and it's not too early to start saying 'HO HO HO' like Santa Claus!
