Story Behind The Song
A different kind of Christmas song, written ages ago, optioned by several major publishers but always too late for the seasonal market. (The writer's fault, not theirs.) Recently resurrected from the trunk maybe in time for this year?

Lyrics
Don?t Go ?til After Christmas
Words & Music by Powers McElhone
Don?t Go ?Til After Christmas
Don?t go ?til we trim the tree
You know all I want for Christmas
Just you, still in love with me
Oh, Baby, can?t we talk it over a minute
Won?t you hear what I say?
And maybe if you think it over a minute,
and you put your heart in it
You would stay, Ah?
Don?t go ?til after New Year?s
?Just ring out the old with me
You know how I am ?bout New Year?s
You know sentimental me
Oh, Baby, can?t you put it off for a minute?
Won?t it wait one more day?
And even if I?ve only bought one more minute,
if I put my love in it
Will you stay? Ah?
Don?t go ?til after Always
Don?t go?can?t you change your mind?
But Oh, if I can?t have Always
Then won?t you at least be kind??and?
Don?t Go ?Til After Christmas
Don?t go ?til we trim the tree
You know all I want for Christmas
Just you, still in love with me
