Lyrics:
(to the tune of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas")

I'm dreaming of a quiet Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know,
Without ER dashes,
Mysterious rashes,
Or kids injured in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a quiet Christmas --
With every Christmas card I write,
"Our year has been quite a fright!
And I hope that Christmas will be quiet."

I'm dreaming of a quiet Christmas
Without a crisis to control.
Let there be no sirens
In our environs,
No crying children to console.

I'm dreaming of a quiet Christmas,
Oh, Santa, won't you hear my plea?
Make our day peaceful and stress-free --
That's the best gift you could bring me.


Get this carol on a Christmas card.
