Pronunciation: let us o

Sentence: Oh, the Crowds in the Mall are frightful,but the sales are so delightful. And since we have one week to go, letusowe, letusowe, letusowe. It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I've bought my cards for shopping, My limits are now way down low, letusowe, letusowe, letusowe! When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll have hated going out in the store! When I get my bill I'll turn white, And hope that I don't lose the farm. The shoppers are slowly dying, And, for credit we're still applying, But as long as you love me so, letusowe, letusowe, letusowe!

Pure snow slightly muffled the sound of silver sleighbells and cash registers, but gladdened the heart of the old ex-skinflint deep within him. Barely pausing for his boots and top hat, Ebinezer could not wait to immerse himself in this STUPEMAXIFACTION which seemed to fill everyone with the profound joy of giving which had eluded him for so long. Now if only that 48 inch plasma HDTV was still in the shop window.....Ho Ho HO !
