Mariele, a music duo from Cumbria, England, has just released a lovely new Christmas song called “Now Christmas Can Begin.” The duo consists of Ailsa McIntosh, a soprano singer, and Graeme Park, who writes and creates the music. This song is extra special because it’s Graeme’s first Christmas track, inspired by his return to writing songs after the loss of his mother. Ailsa’s stunning vocals, paired with Graeme’s heartfelt music, make this song one that touches the soul and brings the spirit of the season to life.
The song captures the simple yet powerful joy of being with loved ones during the holidays. It tells the story of someone dear coming home, bringing with them a sense of warmth and comfort. This moment of reunion is what truly makes Christmas feel like Christmas. With its rich blend of strings and melodies, the music wraps around you like a cosy blanket, while Ailsa’s voice carries the emotions beautifully, making you feel every word.
At its heart, “Now Christmas Can Begin” is about the people who make Christmas special. The song celebrates the joy of getting together, sharing traditions, and having fun as a group. It shows that the little things—like laughing, singing, and spending time with family—are what really make the holidays feel special. Without those moments, Christmas wouldn’t feel complete.
Now Christmas Can Begin
There’s also a sense of timelessness in the song. Lines like “As we once were, we shall always be again” remind us of how love and memories stay with us, no matter how much time passes. It’s a song that bridges the past and present, bringing to mind all the Christmases we’ve shared with loved ones while looking forward to creating new ones.
The song’s message is one of gratitude and togetherness. It gently reminds us that the best gifts of the season aren’t found in stores—they’re the people we hold close, the laughter we share, and the love that fills our hearts. Even the smallest gestures, like lighting candles or dancing, can bring back the magic of Christmas and remind us of what really matters.
There’s also a hopeful tone woven into the lyrics. The journey home through “rain and wind” reflects the challenges and hardships we face in life. But in the end, it’s about finding joy and comfort in the company of those we love. It’s a song that encourages us to hold onto hope and embrace the moments that bring us closer.
“Now Christmas Can Begin” is more than just a holiday tune—it’s a heartfelt reminder of the beauty of Christmas. Mariele has created something truly special, a song that feels timeless and comforting. It’s perfect for bringing a little extra warmth and magic to your holiday celebrations.
As you listen to this song, let it remind you to appreciate the people in your life and the traditions that make this time of year so special. It encourages you to slow down, be in the moment, and treasure the little things that make Christmas truly begin.
