As the sun goes down
and the eve of Christmas begins
A silence and calm comes across the world as a soft layer of clouds
hover over the world

Christmas Quiet

Traffic slows down to a snails pace across the land and world

Christmas Quiet

Streets and stores become empty and activity slows down

Christmas Quiet

And as the hours pass and the time to Christmas comes closer
the world takes a breath and the air becomes still and peaceful

Christmas Quiet

Lights glisten with their holiday beauty and splendor
Trees decorated up for the holiday

Christmas Quiet

Families come together for a moment of holiday joy and sharing

Christmas Quiet

And for just a moment in time, the focus is on peace, goodwill and tranquility throughout the land during this time

Christmas Quiet

So, take a moment to listen to the quiet and stillness
To the bells ringing, the snow falling

Christmas Quiet

And let it fill you with peace, joy, and goodwill
