Bluegrass Family Band Performs Christmas Original ‘We Don’t Need Anything This Year’
A talented family of musicians beautifully performed an original Christmas tune of theirs, singing about their blessings and lack of want and need.
Christmas is a tremendous season intended to be spent with family and friends celebrating the birth and the arrival of the Savior. Presents and the exchanging of gifts are often involved in those celebrations. Gifts are closely associated with the Christmas season, and sometimes too much.
In a clip posted on YouTube, one family, The Petersens, performed “We Don’t Need Anything This Year.” It’s an original tune about being content and living in the moment, not wanting more and more. It’s a song about having the correct perspective and concentrating on the time the Lord has given us with our family. Those precious moments, such as Christmas gatherings, are fleeting. What is here one moment may not be here the next.
“Here’s a Christmas present, here’s to Christmas past
And here’s to all the first times and the last
Here’s to all the joy we have, and here’s to all the tears
Darling, we don’t need anything this year”
Too much of Christmas has become about presents and wanting this item or that object. Everyone wants something nice to open on Christmas morning, but those gifts will only bring momentarily pleasure and satisfaction.
When it comes to Christmas, it’s important to remember it’s a time to spend worshiping the newborn King. The December holiday is also about friends, family and the memories made with those people closest to us in life.
As the song also mentions, life is short. Blink, and several years have gone by. Soak up and cherish the time we have with the people we love. It’s sad, but it’s true that we never know when it will be the last one with them.
Most people are more than blessed, with God more than meeting our needs. Most, if they are honest with themselves, do not need anything at Christmastime.
Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
