Spread The Magic, My Readers! Hey! That’s a Different Greeting! Yes, Folks! It is that Time of The Year, My Favourite Time of the Year, Christmas Holiday Season. One of The Reasons is not only The Christmas Lights, Christmas Trees, and Christmas Music. But, Of Course, I am missing one other element. Christmas Cheer, or more on The Lines of Christmas Magic! You know that saying that at Christmas, It seems like Magic is in The Air and Truth be told, It is in The Air and That is The Best Part of Christmas. So, For The Next Christmas Carol that We are going to Analyze deals with My Favourite Feeling of Christmas. Why I Love Christmas so Much! 
So, without Further a Due, This is Part 2 of My Christmas Mini-Series, Analyzing Christmas Carols! So, This is a Less-than-Traditional Song, but For Me, It has been a Tradition for Me. So, Every Year, My Mom puts in this Christmas Music CD to Mark the Beginning of The Christmas Season. It was from a CD called A Rosie Christmas. It was a CD of Rosie O’Donnell and Guest Singers, singing different songs (Not that She is a Rosie Fan). I like The Guest Singers. The Songs that They sing range from The Traditional 12 Days of Christmas to More Unique only to The Rosie CD Songs. The Next Two Parts of My Mini-Series, We will explore Two Unique Songs on This CD. Now, I should note that This Song can also apply to those who don’t celebrate Christmas. 
The Song is called The Magic of Christmas Day by Celine Dion. The Song starts with a Gentle Christmassy Intro. “Deck The Halls with Boughs of Holly; It’s Season to be Jolly; and be Thankful for All that We Have”. (One may think that You can be thankful at Thanksgiving, You can at Christmas Time too!). “All The Lights and Decorations, Put up in Anticipation, Of The Joyful Celebration, that on It’s Way!” (Jumping right into The Intro to The Body of The Song and Into The Body of Song.) “Counting the Days, till It’s Time for Christmas Day!” The Body goes like This; “Oh, and God bless us Everyone!” “The Good and The Bad; The Happy, The Sad” and Repeat The First part again adding “Here’s to family and Friends and It’s good to be Here again!”. Now, If You Want to explain The Magic of Christmas to Someone who may or may not believe, This is a Good Stanza to Read to Them. It’s My Favourite of Christmas. “On The Streets, There’s Children Laughing; People smile as They are passing; Christmas Time is Here, Our Waiting is done!” “Wishing it could last forever” (Don’t we all wish that!) “Not just 12 Days in December” (referring to The 12 Days of Christmas and The Joy of Christmas at It’s Highest going into Christmas) “Through The Year, It’s Good to remember that Special Way!, That Everyone Feels, It’s The Magic of Christmas Day!” (The Answer to The Problem! Remember the Way Everyone was Joyful at Christmas Time!) Then, We continue into The Body of The Song, that God blesses Everyone whether They are Good or Bad, Happy or Sad. and, It’s good to be Here (at Christmas Time) again! Towards, The End of The Body of The Song, It continues with The Perfect Way to get some Christmas Magic and Cheer! “So, Fill Your Heart with Love and Joy; and, Through The Eyes of Girls and Boys” (the Next Part will give you Chills! The Best Way to get Christmas Cheer!) “Share Their Wonder, Live through Their Joy!, It’s Easy to do! Just Open Your Heart and The Spirit (Christmas Spirit) will come to You!” Then comes a Christmassy Segway into The Body of The Song and Ending with “It’s Good to be here again!’. 
Before We close Part 2 of My Mini-Series, I want to share a Short but, Magical Story with You. So, As I have Mentioned around This Time of Year, One of The Mega-Churches in Our Area does a Dinner for The Special Needs Community. “The Special Friends Dinner”, They call it. A Way for Those with Special Needs to feel included in Christmas and Holiday Festivities. I will tell you, Yes, It was a Regular Christmas Dinner that We have had Each Year, but This Year, I really could feel The Magic in The Room. In Fact, We all got Christmas Jingle Bells for us to Ring aloud while The Pastor was singing on Stage. And, then, on Sunday, Our Neighbours, Mr. Marshall and Miss Patty took us over to Their Church because One of Their Kids was in a Kids’ Christmas Production. It was a Sing-along/Dance-along, It was Pretty Cool! Again though, The Friendliness of The People there was Magical as well. All in all, Yes, There is such thing as Christmas Magic. As The Song that We analyzed mentions; Just talk to Kids about it, They’ll tell you all about The Christmas Magic. and, Believe Me, that alone will make you Believe in it again. Even if You already Believe!


Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Let The Child in You come out and Enjoy The Spirit of Christmas!
