The wonder and joy of Christmas puts a sparkle in everyone’s eye, from the infant child to a doting grandpa. The holiday songs with their inspirational Christmas lyrics only add to these feelings. Whether you are listening to words that define the season or the whimsical vocalisation of jolly Ol’ St. Nick, Christmas lyrics turn our thoughts to love. They give meaning to the birth of Jesus and spread elation throughout the world. One of the most well known carols of the holiday is that romp through the woods, Jingle Bells. The Christmas lyrics encompass the close feelings of love and happiness that riding in that sleigh give us. However, the gentleman who wrote the jocular words was one that was plagued by failure. His life was a succession of disappointment as a father, a husband and a politician. He tried to become part of the religious life as a member of the church and again he knew failure. The spirit that was inside of him though wouldn’t give up, and because of it we have a great gift. Jingle Bells captures the delight we all share in this most wondrous season. The timelessness of these songs spans the centuries. While some of today’s interpretations have changed the original tempo, the meaning of the Christmas lyrics have not been lost. The embodiment of the closeness and sharing of this special season will live on in the lyrics forever. Giving the gift of music at Christmas will bring enjoyment to everyone who receives it. There are many CD’s on the market today that blend the traditional songs with the newer compositions. Deliver one of the best parts of Christmas when you present your family or friends with the gift of music. It will be a terrific reminder of your friendship and love.
