Merry Christmas (Wherever In The World You Are)
I’m only puttin’ red on my Christmas tree
It’s a holiday I’ll celebrate with my own company
Pour the wine, I’ll be fine
Climb the ladder and place the star
Well, Merry Christmas wherever in the world you are
I won’t have to deal with your family
The dressing and the stress, dysfunctionality
A two day drive, stuck inside with you signing in my car
Well, Merry Christmas wherever in the world you are
Don’t have to rack my brain tryin’ to find you the right thing you won’t like anyway
Avoid your flirtin’ brother and please your mother or find the right thing to say
I’ll hold the remote control on Christmas Day
And I can watch The Grinch and not some football game
I’ll order in, call some friends, might smoke me a cigar
Well, Merry Christmas wherever in the world you are
Don’t have to rack my brain, tryin’ to find you the right thing you won’t like anyway
Avoid your flirtin’ brother and please your mother or find the right thing to say
I won’t have to wait for that ring this year
The one you always promised after too many beers
Pour the wine, I’ll be fine
Climb the ladder and place the star
Well, Merry Christmas wherever in the world

Merry Christmas wherever in the world
Merry Christmas wherever in the hell you are

About the carol Merry Christmas (Wherever In The World You Are)
“Merry Christmas (Wherever In The World You Are)” is a Christmas song recorded by Canadian country singer Terri Clark. The song appears on her album Classic, released in 2012, and runs for just under three minutes. It combines Clark’s country style with a humorous and independent perspective on spending Christmas after a relationship has ended. Apple Music – Web Player
The song presents Christmas from the perspective of someone who is perfectly content celebrating alone after separating from a difficult partner. Instead of feeling sad about the breakup, the narrator enjoys having control over her own Christmas traditions, from decorating the tree to choosing what to watch on television. The lyrics turn familiar holiday activities into humorous references to the freedom of being on her own.
Terri Clark’s country delivery gives the song a playful and conversational character. Its connection to Christmas comes through familiar traditions such as decorating the tree, watching holiday films, spending Christmas Day at home and sending Christmas wishes. At the same time, the song takes a different approach from sentimental Christmas ballads by presenting independence and humor alongside the holiday atmosphere.
