Verse 1
Up here, we don’t just get a dusting; it’s a blizzard kind of white,
Where the snow piles high and the stars go out of sight.
No dashing through the snow, just digging out the drive,
Three layers of thermals just to feel alive.
We don’t dream of a white Christmas, we know it’s coming strong,
With snow so deep, we’re not sure if it’ll stop ‘fore long.
When Frosty turns to ice and the snow blower’s your best friend,
That’s a northern Christmas, startin’ to begin.
Chorus
Weathering the traditional Christmas storm,
In snowdrifts and snow forts, bundled up warm.
Who needs lights when the snow’s shining bright?
Weathering the storm this Christmas night.
Verse 2
Santa needs a snowplow just to get to town,
And the reindeer need snow boots if they’re coming down.
No fancy lights or decorations here,
Just glistening snowbanks piled high with cheer.
Icicles hang like holiday decor,
While Mother Nature gives us snow galore.
We sing “Let it Snow” with a sigh of regret,
As we grab our shovels and try not to fret.
Chorus
Weathering the traditional Christmas storm,
In snowdrifts and snow forts, bundled up warm.
Who needs lights when the snow’s shining bright?
Weathering the storm this Christmas night.
Bridge
We leave Santa coffee and a shovel by the door,
‘Cause up here he’s never seen a whiteout like before.
With snow in the headlights and cocoa in hand,
We’re taking on winter, brave and grand.
Verse 3
When all is calm and the stars start to shine,
We’re grateful the snow finally gave us a sign.
Christmas means snowbanks and icicles tall,
But it’s wonder-filled magic for one and all.
So here’s to the snow, the ice, and the cheer,
For weathering the storm, and making it here.
Our Christmas may be cold, but our hearts are warm,
Braving the snow is our holiday norm.
Chorus
Weathering the traditional Christmas storm,
In snowdrifts and snow forts, bundled up warm.
Who needs lights when the snow’s shining bright?
Weathering the storm this Christmas night.
Outro
With snow up to the rooftops and a chill in the air,
We’re weathering the storm with a holiday flair.
When Christmas comes calling, no matter the form,
We’ll be here, singing through the storm.
We hang the lights and trim the tree, the stockings all in place,
Bake cookies in the kitchen while the storm picks up its pace.
It’s carols by the fire and snow piled to the door,
A Christmas full of cozy cheer—and a blizzard, just like before.
Yawl come see us as FARM dot FM.
Appreciate ya!…
and Merry Christmas!
