The glockenspiel sets the tone from the starts and the christmas vibe gets stronger all through the song. Even some sleighbells make an appearance. This will be around for many of my Christmases to come I imagine.

Now, I'm generally a bit of a grinch, but the sweet, warm vibes Annika has created in this track may even melt my cold, holiday heart! ;)

about
Ever since I was a child, I have loved Christmas. The beginning of December has something magical with all its fairy lights, candles, Christmas goodies, the songs, Father Christmas, angels, elves....this magic has never left me. To this day, I become a child at Christmas time. I can never get enough of the fairy lights sparkling in the dark streets.
At the same time, when I think of Christmas I think of the winter solstice. At least over here, in the northern hemisphere, on 21st December the light comes back, which is what I celebrate most. The return of the light nurtures my soul so much that I make it even through January and February until you begin to actually see the light in March. And magically it stays with me all year through. I hope it can be the same for you.

My Christmas Wish
As I'm walking through the dark streets
Fairies turned on the lights on earth
They're the lights of a million heartbeats
Hoping for a better world
And I stare in childlike wonder
At the magic all around
At the snowmen and the reindeer
Dancing together through the town
Maybe they
Find a way
To your heart, too
Then you find
Their light shines
All year through
Sometimes Father Christmas
Seems to be the one who's real
He listens to our wishes
And understands the way we feel
Years ago he made a promise
To send happiness our way
So each year at winter solstice
He comes on a sparkling trail
So make way
For his sleigh
On this night
Hear the bells
All is well
You'll be alright
And if you listen closely
There are whispers in the sky
Elves are talking to angels
Can you feel them passing by
They have teamed up
To spread the word in every town
They want you to know
They'll never let you down
Maybe they
Find a way
To your heart, too
Then you find
Their light shines
All year through
That's my wish
At Christmas
Just for you
Look for the light
That will shine
All year through
For you
As I'm walking through the dark streets
Fairies turned on the lights on earth
They're the lights of a million heartbeats
Hoping for a better world
And I stare in childlike wonder
At the magic all around
At the snowmen and the reindeer
Dancing together through the town
Maybe they
Find a way
To your heart, too
Then you find
Their light shines
All year through
Sometimes Father Christmas
Seems to be the one who's real
He listens to our wishes
And understands the way we feel
Years ago he made a promise
To send happiness our way
So each year at winter solstice
He comes on a sparkling trail
So make way
For his sleigh
On this night
Hear the bells
All is well
You'll be alright
And if you listen closely
There are whispers in the sky
Elves are talking to angels
Can you feel them passing by
They have teamed up
To spread the word in every town
They want you to know
They'll never let you down
Maybe they
Find a way
To your heart, too
Then you find
Their light shines
All year through
That's my wish
At Christmas
Just for you
Look for the light
That will shine
All year through
For you
