As we grow older, we reflect on the beautiful moments in our lives. Remembering an afternoon in the sun, rocking a baby to sleep, or spending time a loved one brings a sense of nostalgia, wishing we could freeze time to simply live in those memories. This piece was written for the University of Calgary Chamber Choir and dedicated to my parents, who inspire me to live a life full of passion and no regrets

December comes and it’s getting colder
And all I know is I’m a little bit older.
Listen closely to the sound
Of snowflakes falling to the ground-
A little winter all around.
And all around you can hear the choir,
The sound of angels singing higher.
Bells are ringing in the air,
I hear the music everywhere.
And, oh,
How I want to go
In the falling snow
For a little piece of Christmas.
It’s a little bit fast and a little bit slow,
But where did all the seasons go?
I change a little every day,
It’s hard this time of year, they say.
And, oh,
How I want to go
In the falling snow
For a little piece of Christmas.
Just one piece-
Just a piece of home.
Well I might be a little naive
But I won’t ask for much this Christmas Eve.
And it’s been a year and I’ve learned a lot
And I sure am grateful for what I’ve got.
And if I have one gift for you
I’d share a little piece of Christmas too.
And, oh,
How I want to go
In the falling snow
For a little piece of Christmas.
