I hate celebrating Christmas too early, but the release of your Christmas single each year represents its time to take off the grinch costume. Great song Lawrence!

"Orbiting our Sun and stationed at the L4 Point, our astronaut longs for a Christmas back on Earth. But with the visual wonders of the solar system, the galaxy and the universe visible in real-time through an Ultra-Magnified Light-Warping Telescopic Super Lens™, such spectacular sights make being alone out there a little more tolerable..."

lyrics
---
I've got a miniature tree
With its own tiny baubles
And a musical box
Festive tunes full of warbles
(To keep my spirits high during this time of year)
I miss being on Earth
Sharing gifts, playing games
Amongst all who I love
But I find that their names
Don’t quite come to me any more
(Their faces fading fast from my memory, I fear)
I'm an astronaut, I'm a little distraught
‘cause I'm stuck here at Christmas one AU* away
From a home that I know, such a long way to go
But I cling to the hope of returning one day...
And the tin’s almost empty,
Only Orange Cremes left
You know, once they are gone
I’ll be surely bereft; they’re my favourite
(My concept of one year is rather different than yours)
Way out here at the fourth Lagrange Point, I remember
My February relative to Earth is December
I'm an astronaut, I'm a little distraught
‘cause I'm stuck here at Christmas one AU away
From a home that I know, such a long way to go
But I cling to the hope of returning one day...
