The most beautiful era of the year is coming and the Holy Spirit is already felt in this beautiful community of #Music. I am pleased to share my interpretation of the «It's Beginning to Lot Like Christmas», a Christmas song composed by Meredith Willson in 1951. I have had the opportunity to listen to Bing Crosby versions and from Michael Bublé. The melody is cheerful and highlights notes such as tresillos and Saltillos, as well as the use of chromatisms. The song is in a constant 4/4 compass, with a syncopated rhythmic pattern and a tone in E Major. In my case, I interpret it in A Major. The lyrics talk about the transformation of the landscape with the arrival of Christmas, connecting to different symbols of the time, and with the Christmas spirit. When it comes to Christmas, it is a season full of nostalgia, but also highlights optimism and hope. The essence of Christmas is to share next to the people who care more and serve others.

Se viene la época más bonita del año y ya se siente el espiritu en esta bella comunidad de #Music. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas», una canción navideña compuesta por Meredith Willson en 1951. He tenido la oportunidad de escuchar versiones de Bing Crosby y de Michael Bublé. La melodía es alegre y destacan figuras de notas como tresillos y saltillos, así también el uso de cromatismos. La canción está en un compás de 4/4 constante, con un patrón rítmico sincopado y una tonalidad en E mayor. En mi caso, la interpreto en A Mayor. La letra habla de la transformación del paisaje con la llegada de la navidad, conectándonos con diferentes símbolos de la época, y con el espíritu navideño. Cuando se trata de la Navidad, es una temporada llena de nostalgia, pero también destaca el optimismo y la esperanza. La esencia de la Navidad es compartir al lado de las personas que más te importan y servir al prójimo.
Today I want to tell you about the initiative light the world. We live in a world of artificial lights, bustle, waste, and banquets. The world needs our light, our love, and our service. The reason we celebrate Christmas is Jesus Christ. He is the greatest gift of love for humanity. I have as a family tradition seen the history of the birth of Christ, and participate in service activities, as well as cultural activities with Christmas motifs. This year we will have a service activity in a coated house for children and we hope to wear clothes, music, toys, and food. When one makes this beautiful gesture, one discovers that his problems are insignificant and contrasts many times with those that happen in our lives. Then we begin to recognize the blessings and thank God for those he has brought in our lives.

Hoy quiero hablarles de la Iniciativa Ilumina el Mundo. Vivimos en un mundo de luces artificiales, de bullicios, de derroche, y banquetes. El mundo necesita de nuestra luz, de nuestro amor y servicio. La razón por la cual celebramos la Navidad es Jesucristo. Él es la dádiva más grande de amor por la humanidad. Tengo como tradición familiar ver la historia del nacimiento de Cristo, y participar de actividades de servicio, así como de actividades culturales con motivos navideños. Este año tendremos una actividad de servicio en una casa de abrigo para niños y esperamos llevar ropa, música, juguetes y alimentos. Cuando uno hace este hermoso gesto, uno descubre que sus problemas son insignificantes y contrastan muchas veces con los que suceden en nuestra vida. Entonces empezamos a reconocer las bendiciones y agradecemos a Dios por las que ha traído en nuestra vida.
It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten
It's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon, the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure it's Christmas once more.
