Still, Still, Still!

The lake is so much fun in the summer... Long summer days bring swimming, skiing, sailing and boating and neighbors and family are always around. The beer is always on ice, the salsa is always in the fridge... and the adirondacks beg for a tentant to come along and read a book on a lazy sunny weekend.
However, winter brings a different scene. It is soooo peaceful and quiet - our evenings are usually spent in our jammies in front of a fire - at an hour that usually sees us still out on the lake laughing and playing in the summer.
Today is a long awaited day for us... the day the lake freezes over. We woke up today to a skim of ice...to the peaceful, quiet of winter! Especially timely - during this Blessed Christmas Season!

Still, still, still,

One can hear the falling snow.

For all is hushed,

The world is sleeping,

Holy Star its vigil keeping.

Still, still, still,

One can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,

'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.

The night is peaceful all around you,

Close your eyes, Let sleep surround you.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,

'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
Dream, dream, dream,

Of the joyous day to come.

While guardian angels without number,

Watch you as you sweetly slumber.

Dream, dream, dream,

Of the joyous day to come.
