Christmas in the Internet Age...with mixed results ;-)

Lyrics

Virtual Christmas

Virtual Christmas, virtual tree
With browsers and webcams, I think you?ll agree
There?s no need to be there, physically
We?ll have a real e-Christmas this year
Virtual shopping?Santa dot com
No more rushing hither and yon
Where would we be without Amazon?

God rest you merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay
With Next Day Air your presents should arrive by Christmas day
If not the means of tracing them is just a click away
?Cause it?s a virtual Christmas this year

He?s making that list, he?s checkin? it twice
He knows if your screen name?s naughty or nice
Delete all those bookmarks?that?s my advice
Keep your mind on Christmas this year
We?re surfin? this Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature is stirring?except for the mouse
Have a look at our phone bill if you have any doubts

Jingle bells, AOL?s sent another disk
It?s been a virtual Christmas this year

Won?t need to travel, and that suits me fine
We?ll get the whole family together online
Happily tapping out Old Lang Syne
We're Internet chatting this year
Of course there?s a downside?when put to the test
The video streams were jerky, at best
Though great uncle Albert was duly impressed

We streamed our Christmas at modem speed
In miniature windows, as planned
It?s clear, by next year we?re gonna need
To upgrade to broadband

Oh, Christmas tree
E, Christmas tree
"E" you were never meant to be
