Song: Do You Hear What I Hear
Artist: Andy Williams
"Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a very popular Christmas song with a joyful beat and beautiful melodies. It is often played in the stores during the Christmas season. It has been covered by hundreds of artists. The song in my post was performed by Andy Williams who was a legendary American pop singer. When Ronald Reagan was president, he declared Andy's voice to be "a national treasure".
According to Wikipedia, Noel Regney wrote the lyrics for the song, while Gloria Shayne composed the Christmas carol's music in October 1962. This was an unusual arrangement for the two writers. Usually it was Shayne who wrote the lyrics for their songs while Regney composed the music, as they did when they wrote a song based on the classic children's song "Rain Rain Go Away".
Regney was inspired to write the lyrics "Said the night wind to the little lamb, 'Do you see what I see?'" and "Pray for peace, people everywhere", after watching babies being pushed in strollers on the sidewalks of New York City. Shayne stated in an interview years later that neither could personally perform the entire song at the time they wrote it because of the emotions surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
上个周末，我带孩子们去商店购买圣诞礼物。商店里已经充满了节日的气氛，一走进商店，就看到那装饰好的圣诞树，圣诞礼品可谓是琳琅满目。商店里不停地播放着圣诞歌曲，当我听到《Do You Hear What I hear》&《The Little Drummer Boy》就特别地喜欢，百听不厌。
一回到家里，孩子们就开始写圣诞卡，制作圣诞礼物了。当他们做好后，就拿给我看。" Look, mommy, see what I made? " 看到孩子们制作的一件件圣诞作品，我惊讶于他们的心灵手巧。我为我的孩子们自豪，也感谢孩子们带给我作母亲的幸福。
Happy Holidays,
Rebecca
