Yet Another Alternative:

[Lyrics]
Used Auto Lyrix Align to import the MP3 and Lyrics to generate a Audacity File .txt that was then directly imported into xlights as a timing track
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye.
All except Clark: Gasp
And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. Hah
Art:You're Goofy
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Don't piss me off Art
Ellen Griswold: Clark, Its over.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Not according to Santa's watch it isn't.
Clark W. Griswold Sr.: Now come on son.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Stay out of this Dad.
Ellen Griswold: Clark, I think it's best if everybody just goes home, before things get worse.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: WORSE? How can they get any worse? Take a look around you Ellen! We're at the threshold of Hell!
heh heh
