Many times in writing, I try really hard to make my words
hit those emotional chords. I believe
that stories speak to us through emotional truths. I know that I struggle immensely to get the
right emotion on the page. It is
extremely challenging.
I’m sure that writing a song is far more complicated than I
can imagine (writing a story sure was), but writing is just words and a song is
words and music. The music alone can tap
into our emotions and make us feel, but combine that moving music with strong
lyrics and the song can create a powerful emotional experience that words alone
cannot do.I love music, especially Christmas music. Nothing else can bring the spirit of the season into my home like Christmas carols. I love so many of the Christmas songs, and it is hard to find one that I can't at least sing a bar of, so it was touch to narrow this down, but here are my top four favorite Christmas songs. I hope they will bring the spirit of Christmas into your home.
My favorite secular Christmas Carols:
1. Carol of the Bells
1. Carol of the Bells
2. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire)
1. O Holy Night
2. What Child is This
To me, these songs just capture the spirit and meaning of Christmas.
What are your favorite Christmas Carols?

These are all songs I've loved. And I, too, wonder about the talent of writing a song. Writing the lyrics, I mean. It must be so different to write words to a tune and a beat, to create a meaningful "poem" that fits so perfectly into the music.
