What makes Christmas so special for so many? Well, we all have our own reasons for which we love the winter holidays so much, but if I were to pick something we all have in common, it would be Christmas music.
There’s just something about it that gets us, whether we’re 20 years old or 60 years old. It could be those feel-good chord progressions or dramatic blasts of choral crescendo that make this kind of music so enjoyable, but my guess is that it has more to do with the fact that we associate Christmas songs with family and tradition.
I know that every time I hear a Christmas classic, my mind immediately goes back to all the Christmases I’ve spent with my family, looking at the Christmas tree and talking about everything while eating ginger bread cookies.
We all have Christmas memories we cherish, and Christmas music has that power to take you back in time. Also, music is fundamental to any celebration, and Christmas is no exception. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is definitely a song that shouldn’t miss from your playlist this year, especially if it’s this version of it performed by no less than 10 talented singers.
