Christmas songs

Jermaine Cole’s best work. Although it was different, it did not disappoint its audience. One of the more underrated songs of that Album was “Love Yours”. This song starts off with a soothing steady beat with a undertone of sadness, but as it progresses it steadily builds suspension and builds rhythm and it brings your heart to a race. Every single of my alarms is set to this song for not only its soothing sound, but also for its theme of gratefulness making it my reminder every morning. “Love…

Marks and Spencer’s advertisements depict Christmas as a magical and fairytale-like season. According to Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, who is the executive director of marketing, these magical advertisements aim to represent a “moment to escape the realities of every day life” (Bousquet-Chavanne). Thus, rather than creating a sentimental advertisement that leaves a heavy thought, Marks and Spencer desires to capture the enchantment and joy during Christmas time by creating “fun and light-hearted”…

I always enjoyed singing. I sang along to the songs in Disney movies, to the radio in the car, or just at home in my room. I was in choir all year during seventh grade. We sang many songs that year, even one in an African language, but only one song had any solo tryouts. Mrs. Smith picked “Wide Awake” by Katy Perry for us to sing, so we could have at least one modern song. There were three solos in it, I tried out for the first one. The tryouts weren’t in front of the class, but I still had to…

Christmas Vespors The Christmas Vespers was based on the nine lessons which were Christmas carols. It also included reading from the scripture. The main idea of the Christmas Vespers was to embrace the birth of Jesus and the fall of man kind. Instead of just telling the story through the scripture music was added appositely to the nine readings. This rendition of the Christmas Vespers was exceptionally enjoyable. The show opened up with the Adam giving into the temptation to Eve and the apple.…

I wish I could explain to you just what's going on inside me around Christmas time. Something that deals with the heart. It may make you laugh or it might deeply resonate with you. It usually starts when I hear music. Christmas music of course. The songs play with sounds of bells in the background, and they begin to stir feelings of excitement. Everything within me jumps for joy and dances around uncontrollably. There's a warmth that stretches to my toes and makes me downright giddy: Like a…

There was evergreen tree sent in the air along with the Heffron Family Cheesecake cooking in the oven. We were listening to a new version of “Santa Baby” by the country artist Kelly Pickler. My sister and I spent more time singing and dancing to the song than decorating the tree. This part of the season is a major part of my life because it’s always happy. I’ve struggled with focus and concentrating problems throughout my life and music helps me stay focused through the day. Especially during…

for more. The latter can be seen in the character Ebenezer Scrooge in the play A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The play of this title as well as the movie A Diva’s Christmas Carol by Richard Schenkman both show how being content…

In Mexico, Christmas is celebrated from December 12th to January 6th. From December 16th to Christmas Eve, children often perform the 'Posada' processions or Posadas. Posada is Spanish for Inn or Lodging. There are nine Posadas. These celebrate the part of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary looked for somewhere to stay. For the Posadas, the outside of houses are decorated with evergreens, moss and paper lanterns. In each Posada, children are given candles and a board, with painted clay…
