The Sound of Christmas


Christmas 2016 is just 12 days away and the time to enjoy this festive season (and a spiritual one at that for Christians) would be now rather than on the day itself.

And, aside from the feasting, gatherings, shopping, Christmas services, charity givings and so forth, this is also the time to listen to Christmas carols and songs.

Here are just a sample from YouTube for your refreshing:-


Pentatonix is a surprising discovery for me (better late than never) and their acapella-style will put a smile on your face with added finesse from Tori Kelly. 



J. Pachelbel's Canon in D is renown the world over and this rendition will not disappoint as it stretches and sketches the depth, height, width and immensity of Christmas.



This song by powerhouse songstress Mariah Carey will help you reflect on those dearest to you during this Christmas. (Daily Refreshing wishes that you would be home for Christmas with loved ones.)



This song was recorded way back in 1953 and sung by Gayla Peevey at age 10. It is whimsical yet commendable as she negotiated her way through the song with earnest patience and conviction. This is one tall order for Christmas!



Be blown away by the singing of Hometown -- the next biggie after One Direction(?), and be drawn into the divinity of that first Christmas which was heralded by the Star of Bethlehem and a host of angels.


Have a Blessed Christmas today!
