[OFFICIAL VIDEO] God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Pentatonix

THE SILLY SEASON







christmas shopping
christmas carols
christmas cards
santas
crowds
traffic
noise
impatience
honking horns
planes overhead
noise
parking lots full
queues
to do lists
to buy lists
more lists
noise
christmas trees
tinsel
baubles
sales
shopping bags
more shopping bags
shopping trolleys
dance of the shopping trolleys
kids screaming
noise
thoughts racing
clickety clack
clickety clack
must get home
must get home
in one piece



door slams behind her
collapses into chair
quiet
peace at last
at least
for a few moments






Wishing Everyone
A Merry Christmas
Peace and Goodwill
  
Thank you for your visits throughout the year.

Friday Music Challenge # 18 - MLMM

  7. Happy holidays to you. I remember this holiday bustle in the city. Here in the village, there is just a festive feeling - no malls, no where to shop. I love it.

  12. What happy slaves we are to the god of consumerism. What a blessed day is Christmas Day and the short rest before the sales!
