    Story Behind the Song
    With it's downbeat lyrics “Christmas Is Quiet” reflects the reality that Christmas is unfortunately a sad time for many people. Not everyone has a Holly Jolly Christmas, either from spending the holidays alone, a constant reminder of a tragic event that happened during December or expectations of the true meaning of Christmas.
    By the Wild Colonials sharing their “beautiful sadness” we gain strength from this song and look forward to the promise of a New Year where things can hopefully be different.

    Lyrics
    Christmas Is Quiet

    Christmas is quiet in the hall where I live
    Not much commotion, the lights barely give
    Rooms here are chilly, the turkey looks sick
    I freeze by the heater they promised to fix

    The children who laugh, laugh a little at best
    An adulterous man chose this room to confess
    Christmas is crying with a family’s tears
    The tree is their cross, his presents our fear

    -Chorus-
    I want this man for love
    I want this man for hate
    I want this man for something I underestimate

    Christmas is quiet in the room where she lies
    Not much devotion in her lover’s eyes
    She stairs at the ceiling in a state of despair
    Grasping the straw she hopes will repair

    He forgot a lot about give, knew a lot about take
    'Cause if it's not, it's hard for me to ask the reason why
    Christmas is crying with a family’s tears
    Why always Christmas to break all those ties?

    I want this man for love
    I want this man for hate
    I want this man for something I underestimate

    Christmas is quiet as he sits there alone
    Children abroad so he waits by the phone
    Christmas is crying as he stumbles in vain
    To fight the Wild Turkey and banish the pain

    I want this man for love
    I want this man for hate
    I want this man for something I underestimate

    I want this man for love
    I want this man for hate
    I want this man for something I underestimate
