►LYRICS - We Don't Need Anything This Year
A winter morn, your hand in mine
The window panes are dressed in white
And the snow is falling on your ears
Darling, we don't need anything this year
I like tinsel on my tree
And you like popcorn, and you like me
We'll weave traditions, and you can hang the star
I'm happy just to be where you are
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
Mom and dad's on Christmas Eve
And now it's us, hard to believe
I look around at all that we hold dear
Darling, we don't need anything this year
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
Life is short and sweet, the years keep passing by
Sitting here with you, we've watched them fly
It only takes a blink and then before you know
It's time we learned how to let go
I hung your picture by the tree
Made some popcorn and tried to sing
Sometimes it feels like you're still here
Here's a Christmas present, here's to Christmas past
And here's to all the first times and the last
We'll cherish all the memories and cling to every tear
Darling, we don't need anything this year
Oh, but I'll sure be missing you this year

This song features on the new Christmas album li.sten.to/WeDontNeedAnythingThisYear 🎄✨
Thank you Liz! See you all tomorrow on the chat
Lovely
Wow! this is right up there with the classic Christmas song! so beautiful
Thank you, Liz!
It was so neat to see you in the live chat (even if it was against your will 😏) so we have a face for all the extraordinary work you do! You absolutely rock, Liz!
As a side note, I am a dorky American who loves British voices, so I wanted to let you know that I think your accent is lovely, even if it isn’t an accent to you! 😊🤪
This song should have had a disclaimer - bring tissues. Katie got us all warm and cozy and then took us in an unexpected direction. The line about learning to let go hit me hard having lost my mother and brother this past year. It's a beautiful song but I don't think I can listen to it again - not yet.
I’m sorry to hear that. Praying for consolation and Peace.
Katie Petersen writes of the human heart with more compassion than any other contemporary songwriter.
OK, you got me with this one. Bawling like a baby. We married on 23 December 1972. She passed on 15 December 2006. I miss her so much. It's especially difficult this time of year. Thank you for touching my heart with your precious lyrics, sweet voices, and wonderful instruments. You are blessed, and you are blessings. Clearly, Katie's heart comprehends the joys and tears that weave two lives as one. Thank you.
Katie, your new song really touched my heart. Three months ago we lost our daughter Julie Anna to kidney failure. She was only forty-one years old. She was in hospice at our home for a year and three weeks. One good thing, Julie loved the Lord Jesus with all of her heart. She was surrounded by her family when she went home to be with our Lord. Your song touched us as this will be the first time our Julie will not be with us Thanksgiving and Christmas, which was her favorite time of the year. Thank you so much for blessing us with this beautiful song. God Bless you and your beautiful family. We love you.
Impossible to say who has the best voice in that family. Lovely song
I'll surely treasure this beautiful song by Katie. My wife of 49yrs. passed away in August, so this will mark my first Christmas without her in 50yrs. Thanks so much for such a meaningful song.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
I would like to extend to you my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved wife. I can only hope that you will be able to find some semblance of joy this Christmas season. Perhaps while thinking about all of the happy memories that you and your wife created together throughout 49 Christmas holidays in a row. Few married couples make it through 4 years... much less 49 of them. I'm sure she's preparing a place for you and her for that moment somewhere in the future when God the Creator calls you home also.
Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I
I’m so sorry. Feel our hugs ❤
Thinking of you - and others in the same situation - you will know what's best for you this Christmas . With love from Scotland Colin & Joan .
I lost my wife of 49 years... 7 years ago on June 30, as well. Our anniversary was August 17. I will try to decorate for Christmas the way we have always done in our past but last year I didn't decorate or put up a tree and it just wasn't the same. This year I will put up everything, with all of the outside lights the way we always have done in the past and I will put up her small tree with blue LED lights (her favorite) just for her memory. I will be with her again when I leave here. My sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved wife.
The verse with "hanging your picture and making popcorn." Wasn't ready for that. Made me miss my Mom. Made me not want that to be either me or my wife one day. Such a beautiful song.
This is one of those songs that can mean something different for everyone. We just had to put our cat of 13 years to sleep last week, very unexpectedly. So this Christmas, when I listen to this song, I will be thinking of him.
Another Karen Carpenter-like "Merry Christmas, Darling". Superb! Really like how Emmett harmonizes the dobro with her voice.
Dear ones,Jolene and I were talking on our way home Monday morning about what a wonderful concert you all gave in Council Bluffs Sunday night. I always dreaded doing meet and greets after a show but you all were so kind and delightful. This song of yours is really something special. You have written some very clever lyrics in the past but these words are unique. Not only are they inspired,but I can tell you after nearly 30 years of preparing sermons that I recognize Divine inspiration when I hear it. His Spirit of love and compassion flow through this song and I believe that it will be used greatly to touch the hearts and lives of people around the world. Blessings, and Happy Holidays.
We were just at your show in Cincinnati and heard Katie tell the story of how she wrote this song. First, thanks to Ellen for suggesting that Katie should try to finish it. Then thanks for Katie for finishing it. It's instantly become one of my favorite songs. There were so so many people tearing up during this song at this show. My wife included.
Wow!!! ❤ this beautiful Christmas song!!! Should be played on every radio/streaming platform out there. In 2017 my oldest brother passed. Since then my nephew and parents have gone to be with Jesus. Mom went this year. Our Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings are getting smaller and the absence of each precious soul is deeply felt. This will be my first holiday season without either parent. This song expresses well the sorrow of missing someone who has passed on and also the joy of all the memories we carry with us.
Just downloaded this song. Brings me tears. It was a rough Christmas this year but God is watching over us.
I have a feeling this song will go far.
For some reason, when I think of heaven, I see a place where the Pertersens sing beautiful songs. I must say that you have been a blessing in my life.
A new Christmas classic. Katie's rich voice backed by the wonderful harmonies of Ellen, Julieann, and Matt.
Little J doesn't sing in this one
Katie, that was a lovely song. I'm crying now. You all are blessed.
Beautiful song. Now I'm a Dad of 3 little boys and this reminds my wife and I to look around at all that we hold dear ❤
What a great song. Reminds me of "Remember When" by Alan Jackson. I sincerely hope this makes it to main stream media so that everyone can come to appreciate the ridiculous talent that Katie and this family has.
This is one of the best Xmas songs of modern times! Katie is so talented!
I listened to the Petersens a lot while I was pregnant and now I'm sharing their fantastic music with my newborn baby boy.
I don't need anything this year, indeed 😊
Congratulations!
There is NOTHING that says "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" more than FAMILY and when you mix MUSIC and FAMILY together.....you have....THE AWESOME PETERSENS!!!
The first snow is starting to fall,I came from outside and found this beautiful song.Katie's original songs are like echoes of her soul, beautiful and emotional.
What a beautiful moment you must’ve experienced! Thanks for sharing it with us so eloquently!
Thanks for your kind comment,it was almost symbolic.@@emmajo4880
Perfect!
Love her voice
What a really AMAZING CHRISTMAS SONG by Katie, which so truly states that the greatest gifts are not those expensive Material things bought with a lot of money, but rather love, friendship and family and the priceless and irreplaceable fellowship shared with those we love! How special this is Katie!
Thank you for that beautiful song. I have a special star on my Christmas tree that’s for my dad. He passed away several years ago he always told me I was the twinkle of his eye and now he’s the twinkle on my tree. I love listening to your music. Keep up the good work.
I think it's the most beautiful Christmas song written in the last 20/30 years. Thanks Katie. It's truly gorgeous. ❤
Agreed, Roberto! Well said. 👏
Sometimes you have a tendency to exaggerate a little Roberto, but I think I have to agree on this one!
@@FrankvdMuijsenberg I thought that "Mary, Did You Know?" is from 1991. Then there is also a very famous one from 1994 by a certain M.C., but I don't even take it into consideration. Others I can't think of. The great Christmas songs are all older. 😉
@@Roberto-pd8vnI mostly agree with your comment. But you are forgetting "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill.
I think 40 or 50 years? I'm old. Most music got worse after the 80's
This one is really good. I love it.
I normally don't listen to Christmas Music/Songs until the day after Thanksgiving. But, this song is beautiful and worth listening to before then.
Poignant, sobering song about the joys and sorrows that some experience on Christmas. May God give peace and joy to all those who are missing their loved ones this Christmas.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Loving this even in August! 😊 Can't wait to play this coming holiday season.
Oh Lord, that's so powerful. My life is in the second verse yet, happier than ever. But I must admit the more I fear when the following verses come... I hope I manage to still be grateful when life stops bringing only joy and Christmas becomes mainly a time of remembrance.
These old dried up tear ducts found a few drops during this beautiful Christmas song. Very nice Katie. Thank you.
Every song katie has written has been such a soul toucher. Good stuff.
Wish they were more songs like this one
Wow, a beautiful song that i think everyone can relate to. For me I cry every time I hang ornaments on the tree..remembering my mom, who loved. God, family and Christmas time. It's been 28 years...she's still with me.
I love the new Christmas song. I am a big Petersen's bluegrass fan.. My husband and I saw the show in early October in Branson. We watched them for the last 14 years, on every time we visited Branson. Who knew it would be his last time. He was 88 this year . He died at home the week we returned from Branson. This will be my first Christmas without Roger after we shared 24 Christmas times together. Thank you Katie, for your music. 🎼🎶♥♥
I'm so sorry. Blessings and comfort to you this Christmas.
They have Golden Voices when they Sing and Golden Hands when they play their Music what a Lovely Family.
My 3rd Christmas as a widow. and whoa your song tugs at my heart strings. Don't know if it was about losing your love to, fill in the blank???
Vor nun zweieinhalb Jahren ist mein Vater gestorben, und jetzt habe ich Tränen in den Augen, weil ich ihn gerade so sehr vermisse und ihr so vieles von dem ausdrückt, was ich fühle. Genau auf den Punkt ...
Tausend Dank für eure Musik, jede einzelne Aufnahme von euch ist solch ein Schatz!
Such a beautiful song! I heard it live in Santa Barbara the other night, and it was great to hear the non-piano version, as nice as this is. Also, I don't know how else to get a message to you, but the whole concert was a delight, and I was not at all surprised to see nearly everyone lining up to meet you after the show. We needed to get people home, or I would have stayed to tell you all how much fun the show was.
ALSO, super cool that your merch is priced so reasonably, as were the tickets to the show! I bought 2 CDs and a shirt. Come back to Santa Barbara any time!
What a beautiful yet poignant song with such a sweet melody and meaning. Performed to perfection as always.
Katie writes so many songs that listeners love right from the start. Now that’s the mark of a great, legitimate songwriter! She’s got the gift, and she sings them all so sweetly and genuinely. 😊
Looking so forward to seeing you all in your Grapevine Christmas show in December! 😍
Katie, is always so amazing, her voice makes me feel loved....in a strange way, i have never met her, but i always feel something in my heart, when i hear Katies voice!! Youre all great Petersens ! And i wish you all the best in life !!! And thank you so much for your amazing music !
You captured everything that's in my heart - a sweet and sad song. I do miss my darling husband.
The world was missing this beautiful Christmas song, yet it was unaware, until you sang it. Thank you.
Katie, I am still overwhelmingly impressed at your talent and your soul. I was in Branson in October but your Thursday show didn't happen. I really wanted to meet you and get a feel for the person who writes so well. In another generation, I would have found a way to meet you and experience the talent and spirituality first hand. I am a Christian husband, father, and grandfather now. I married a wonderful woman. I bet you will be an awesome wife to and extremely blessed man someday. (if not already) Thank you for what you do, and God bless your parents for fostering your talent. Now I need to break out the Gibson and learn this treasure.
It´s a great song. i have to praise the author for the text and music.
Je viens de recevoir mon cadeau de Noël, merci beaucoup a tous. I juste received my Christmas présent thank you very much😊.
That girl is such a talent.
Beautiful and melancholy. Very touching subject at Christmas. We all have someone we love that we miss at Christmas.
What a beautiful song sung by beautiful souls, Christmas time is here. And what a beautiful location. Remember the Reason for the Season.
Just heard Katie perform this beautiful song tonight at their Christmas concert in logan, utah! First time Id heard it. Wow! Beautiful ! Amazing songwriter!
너는 멋져. 너는 최고. You are fantastic. You are best. 🐈❤️🐈❤️
Love this. It may be one of your best original songs. Absolutely beautiful
I don't think I blinked my eyes during this whole song, or moved or breathed...it was captivating.
This one choked me up a little. Bittersweet.
I absolutely love the piano and dobro together!! Lovely song.
Very touching song. Reminded me of my late wife. Thank you.
This song sang by Katie is beautiful, I was laying in bed drifting of to such a soothing voice I'll surely sleep well tonight.
Thoughtful, and lovely
that needs to be on cd!! great song Miss Katie!
This song is on a CD! The title is the same as the song and it is The Petersens' Christmas album!
In your songs there are always many emotions and a lot of sweetness... but above all melancholy that only you know where it comes from. May God bless you and give you love and serenity...
Wowzers did not see that coming. 😳😭 What a great song! All the feels.
She plays the violin , she plays the piano , she sings with a voice from heaven ... she is not human , she is an angel on earth .
Beautiful job from everyone , amen .
I have seen Julieann and Ellen playing the piano also.
They ALL play the piano!!! Did you know that!?
@@PartScavenger Really ??? Woooow 😃😃🥰
@@lindagullian5548 That is GREAT !!!!
It’s almost that time of year when the Petersens become my soundtrack to my Christmas season. 🙌
Just a great Christmas song with lovely lyrics x
That song went straight into my heart...Thank you all, especially Katie for creating this special song!
That was really nice
Katie, you are simply amazing!
Absolutely Beautiful 12 10 23
Heartfelt, deep emotions, as so often is the case with Katie's songs. And stunningly beautiful, as always is the case with Katie's songs. Love it !
This song is so wonderful! Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤ All the best for all of you. You're amazing!
So sad and yet so beautiful.
Thank you for that heart-felt song Katie.. A little different outro this time. Maybe you could talk about that tomorrow. ELLEN POWER ya look great.! Nobody does Christmas like the Petersens. Makes me feel like a kid again
Unbelievable Talent. Thank you
Nice song. Congratulations Ellen on the birth of your daughter. Look forward to seeing your concert in Charlotte.
Ребята какие вы молодцы! Обожаю вас слушать! Жду новых ваших записей. Люблю кантри, люблю Америку🙂👍👍👍👍
Katie is such a gifted songwriter, musician and singer. She's amazingly talented, as are the entire band.
This song is going to be a big hit!
My thoughts exactly! And just wait until some of the more mainstream artists get their hands on it. I hope Katie took care of that copyright properly.
Wow! What a great song! Amazing! It made me cry! Congratulations and thank you. You are the best.
So beautiful, so sweet, so, so sad...
Very beautiful song ! I like it so much... Katie is wonderful.
Beautiful! Such a true song! Nobody needs anything!
Love the ending 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was beautiful Katie. Might of made me cry a little at the end ....
I wish every single person to be born in such healthy family.
Beautiful
This one had me cryin'. Wow.
A beautiful poignant song, thank you Katie. There comes a time in all our lives when we miss someone we've lost and the feeling is always heightened at Christmas time. I can certainly relate to this song and I'm sure countless others will too.
M.C. Y'ALL! May the love and peace of Jesus be with you al... Blessing!
Thankful for all the folks still with us this holiday season, and also for those who remain with us in memories and in the love we carry forward into the world. Thanks for this.
What a great Christmas song. Very talented group.
Such a great song....
Just stumbled across this and boy did I need to hear it. Thank you!
Beautiful song. My husband of almost 18 yrs passed away in August. So many firsts to go through alone. Our 18th anniversary is a few days after Thanksgiving. I miss him so. Im so thankful for the years that we had together. Praying for all.going through a similar journey. My rock is the Father above. HalleluYAH🙌
I'm so sorry. Blessings and comfort to you this Christmas.
Beautiful song, Katie! You are a gifted storyteller with a big heart. I'm happy just to be where the Petersens are!
I’m so glad you played this in Grapevine, even if it was hard for me to listen to. All I can do is think about all the people in my life who I’ve lost over the years, and this song makes me recall that. I would have told you this in Grapevine, but I had to go get the car because parking was crazy and I was with my elderly mother who can’t walk far anymore. As we all get older, this song will hit harder. Christmas was so joyous when I was younger and now it’s a reminder of all that was lost. You did such a great job creating this song. It’s beautiful and it’s good to remember that for a lot of people December can bring back a lot of sadness in our lives and this song captures that feeling. Hope to see another show of yours in Branson and hopefully another Grapevine show next year.
Thank you for this beatuful song! Blessings, consolation and peace to those who mourn in any way at this Christmas. Thank you for the gifts of your heart, soul, and mind. I have followed you all on RUclips the last three years.
Will see you guys in three weeks! Looking so forward to it.
thanks Katie and Petersons, it was beautiful
So beautiful and so sad 🥲❤️
