Writing Christmas cards, buying gifts, wrapping presents, Christmas cupcakes for the scouts, searching for the "perfect" surprises, some handmade gifts, Christmas parties, decking the halls, baking, school programs, teacher presents...then throw in the standard Cub Scout meeting (and another patch), ballet classes, grocery shopping, visits to the gym, laundry, etc. Whew! This song just sums it all up!
My sister-in-law played this for me saying it reminded her of me. That comment worried me a bit at first, because our tastes in music can differ some! (Yes, Janet, I think Sugarland fakes their country accent!!!!) But she hit the nail on the head! Plus, I adore Amy Grant!
**I know I volunteer for a lot of this stuff on my own, but that's the spirit of the season, right?!?!
I promise to get my Silent Nights soon!!!
Ready~
Laurie
P.S. Here are the lyrics!
I've made the same mistake before
Too many malls, too many stores
December traffic, Christmas rush
It breaks me till I push and shove
Children are crying while mothers are trying
To photograph Santa and sleigh
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line
What can I say?
I need a silent night, a holy night
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
To end this crazy day with a silent night
December comes then disappears
Faster and faster every year
Did my own mother keep this pace
Or was the world a different place?
Where people stayed home wishing for snow
Watching three channels on their TV
Look at us now rushing around
Trying to buy Christmas peace
I need a silent night, a holy night
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
To end this crazy day with a silent night
What was it like back there in Bethlehem
With peace on earth, good will toward men?
Every shepherd's out in the field
Keeping watch over their flock by night
And the glory of the Lord shone around them
And they were so afraid
And the angels said fear not for behold
I bring you good news of a great joy that shall be for all people
For unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace
I need a silent night, a holy night
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
To end this crazy day with a silent night
To end this crazy day with a silent night
