Editor’s note: Hope you are enjoying your holidays. BDN columnist Erin Donovan penned this fun parody song, and we thought it might give you a smile. It gave us one.
Oh, Christmas Brie, oh, Christmas Brie,
How steadfast are
your calories!
The spongy cream
in moldy rind.
All through the parties
of wintertime.
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
How do you pair with brownies?
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
Baked and stuffed, What are the chances?
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie
Slamming pieces between dances!
Decked with honey, nuts or thyme
It empties my wallet of every dime.
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
What yo-yo dieting befalls me
During the joyous holiday-time.
Your goodness inspires
the weight gain in my thighs.
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
Before, during and apres-ski.
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
I hope you line the streets
of heaven.
You lend strength and
comfort through Stair Master climb.
Try to keep to seltzer
so my pants stay smaller than Anaheim.
Oh, Christmas Brie, Oh, Christmas Brie,
That was more than a serving size.
Or seven.
