I would like to share my feelings about the present season with this song (no, I am not the author), sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland":

Children scream, they won't listen,
When they go, we won't miss em',
In all of this pain, we try to stay sane,
Workin' in an element'ry school.

Christmas comes, they're excited,
Though our nerves, they've ignited,
They're off of the walls, they run in the halls,
Workin' in an element'ry school.

In the lunchroom we can hear them yellin'.
And we know that they are really wound.
Someone hits, the other says "I'm tellin'!"
And that is when our heads begin to pound.

Pretty soon we'll be restin'
Cause our nerves, they've been testin'
We're happy it's clear, it comes once a year,
Christmas in an element'ry school.
