Lyrics

Turn off the Christmas carol lights
Turn off the singing elves
Most of all I beg you
Turn off Carol of the Bells

Turn off that blaster game
That I know you like to play
I want to hear the rooftop sounds
Of reindeer and a sleigh

There’s a reason this
Is supposed to be a silent night
We might hear the jingle jangle
Of Santa’s sleigh in flight

Turn off the blender
Quiet down the broom
Turn off everything that’s
Making noises in the room

Turn off the karaoke set
Turn off the microphone
Santa doesn’t need the noise
To tell him that we’re home

There’s a reason this
Is supposed to be a silent night
We might hear the jingle jangle
Of Santa’s sleigh in flight

Turn off the stove alarm
Turn off the ceiling fan
Just this once turn off
Christmas in a can

Turn off the robot vacuum
Turn off all the noise
I want to hear the sound of Santa
And his sack of toys

There’s a reason this
Is supposed to be a silent night
We might hear the jingle jangle
Of Santa’s sleigh in flight

There’s a reason this
Is supposed to be a silent night
We might hear the jingle jangle
Of Santa’s sleigh in flight

Brilliant -- "Santa doesn’t need the noise/To tell him that we’re home" is my personal favorite line, but the whole thing is terrific. I wasn't expecting to find a Christmas song in my FAWM stream today, but I'm so glad I came across this one!

"there's a reason this is supposed to be a Silent Night" is such a good line - feels like the cry of parents the world over! Really nicely done!

What a clever tie in of the prompt to Silent Night!! It is amazing how much noise we live with. Your lyrics are so compelling and take me back to the night before Christmas kind of feel. Great skirmish!

Completely unexpected and wonderful take here; Christmas really is one of the noisiest holidays, isn't it? It's a lot. Very well done!

Really creative take on the prompt! Listening for Santa and his reindeer amid all the noise, sweet.

Very cool take on the prompt. Love "there's a reason this is supposed to be a silent night"

This is great, and really hits at not just Christmas, but the fact that true meaning behind things, often get lost or die, after getting buried in a sea of noise and distractions.

These are lovely lyrics. I like the take you took on taking away noise and clutter from the holidays
