Rachael & Vilray say: "It’s the week before Christmas and a lot is stirring in this house. Don’t let our mouse-y character fool you. A little holiday breakup hasn’t gotten her down. Enjoy this illustration of a city mouse enjoying all the holiday joy and freedoms of her newly acquired single-ness. Alone or with all her new rodent friends, she’s making the most of being alone this season.”

JUST ME THIS YEAR

December 18th,
And ain’t he sweet?
He called me names and called it quits.
Considering the season I’ve got reason to be sad,
But considering the man, I’m glad…

Ring the bells and hang the mistletoe!
Find the carols on the radio!
Play ’em louder now, he can’t say no!
I’m feeling free, cause it’s just me this year.

Take the train to town and see the tree.
Get some shopping done but just for me.
He told me diamonds are a luxury,
So I’ll take three, cause it’s just me this year.

I’m keeping plenty warm without him,
Never doubt it.
There’s so much left to burn!

Ask the postman in out of the snow.
That’s my plumber playin’ piano.
My French tutor made a chocolat chaud.
“Qui vit ici?” Oh it’s just me this year!

The greatest gift I could receive,
You won’t believe it,
Was just for him to leave!

A toboggan ride on dead man’s curve,
That old chicken never had the nerve.
Finally all the thrills that I deserve,
And possibly, eventually, I’ll find another dear…
But it’s just me this year.
