Christ The King.

Today is the solemnity of Christ The King, that means the new year is about to begin. 6 days till the first day of ADVENT. Christmas is coming!

Oh how i wish i had my ipod, so i could blast christmasy rock opera goodness to the whole house. Play carol of the bells non-stop feeling the energy of every single distorted note as it vibrates the air. LOVE CHRISTMAS. The tree is coming too, everyone loves a christmas tree! You get to put stuff all around on it, in such a mess and claim it's beautiful.. though it looks like a mess. And after that you put lots of presents under it! did i mention, CHRISTMAST IS COMING!

Advent means we get to sing a lot of really cool songs that we never sing. We proclaim the coming of the lord, his human incarnation, we tell the prophecy of Christ. LOVELY MUSIC... and we have to practice all the christmas songs too! EVEN MORE LOVELY MUSIC. then christmas comes and we sing all the good stuff (:(:(: oh did i mention it's around the corner?

I think my favorite part of christmas is the giving. of course, to do so i'm going to have to find a job.. or get really creative.. jobs are easier aren't they...We shall give! christmas is a most wonderful time to start giving, and there's no reason to hold back too! or rather if you need an excuse what better than now? Getting stuff is fun, but giving is way more cool. so give give give!

And i get to play all my TSO!

THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE

ON A STREET IN THE NIGHT
IN THE COLD WINTER’S LIGHT
A CHILD STANDS ALONE AND SHE’S WAITING

AND THE LIGHT THAT’S OUT THERE
IT JUST HANGS IN THE AIR
AS IF IT WAS JUST HESITATING

AND THE SNOW IT COMES DOWN
AND IT MUFFLES THE SOUND
OF DREAMS ON THEIR WAY TO TOMORROW

AND WHEN THEY APPEAR
THIS NIGHT WILL HOLD THEM NEAR
FOR WHERE THEY WILL LEAD
SHE WILL FOLLOW

FOR HERE IN THIS CITY OF LIGHTS
THIS EVENING AWAKENS
THE DREAMS THAT IT MIGHT
THE WINTER IT CONJURES
THE SPELLS IT WILL WEAVE
THE SNOW GENTLY COVERS THE GROUND
CHRISTMAS EVE

IN THIS SCENE
ON THIS NIGHT
THERE’S AN ANCIENT HOTEL
WHERE SHADOWS THEY DO TEND TO WANDER

AND THE GHOSTS THAT LIVE HERE
HOLD EACH MOMENT SO DEAR
FOR TIME’S NOT A THING ONE SHOULD SQUANDER

AND THEY RECOUNT THEIR SAND
AS IT RUNS THROUGH THEIR HAND
AND EXAMINE EACH MOMENT FOR MEANING

IT CAN BE WISHED UPON
TILL THE MOMENT IT’S GONE
LIKE DAY DISAPPEARS INTO EVENING

FOR HERE IN THIS CITY OF LIGHTS
THIS EVENING AWAKENS
THE DREAMS THAT IT MIGHT
THE WINTER IT CONJURES
THE MOMENT IS SEIZED
THE SNOW GENTLY COVERS THE GROUND
CHRISTMAS EVE

MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS

THROUGH THIS NIGHT
THE DREAM STILL WANDERS
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE
AND EVERY YEAR THIS NIGHT GROWS FONDER

OF CHILDREN AND CIRCUMSTANCE
CAUGHT IN THIS CHILDHOOD DANCE
AS THE WORLD TURNS AROUND
KEEPING DREAMS ON THE GROUND

WINDOWS OF FROSTED ICE
PRISMING CANDLELIGHT
AND SOMEHOW WE
START TO BELIEVE

IN THE NIGHT AND THE DREAM
AS IT CUTS THROUGH THE NOISE
WITH THE WHISPER OF SNOW
AS IT STARTS TO DEPLOY

IN THE DEPTHS OF A NIGHT
THAT’S ABOUT TO BEGIN
WITH THE FEELING OF SNOW
AS IT MELTS ON YOUR SKIN

AND IT COVERS THE LAND
WITH A DREAM SO INTENSE
THAT IT RETURNS US ALL
TO A CHILD’S INNOCENCE

AND THEN WHAT YOU’D THOUGHT LOST
AND COULD NEVER RETRIEVE
IS SUDDENLY THERE TO BE FOUND
ON CHRISTMAS EVE
ON CHRISTMAS EVE
ON CHRISTMAS…
