My favourite Songs Christmas 2025

 This Christmas 2025, I had a busy month at work and taking very little leaves to rest or prepare for Christmas. For Christmas Reflections, songs are still the best way to be instantly teleported into the depth of Christmas feelings. This year, the following two songs came out as very special and spoke to my heart and soul in a very deep manner. 


SOMEWHERE IN MY MEMORY from Home Alone, the lyrics are very comforting to recall of what Christmas means to our family.  Altough we do not give lavishly but gifts exchange is very common. The last of the song is very meaingful :

Precious moments, special peopleHappy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memoryHoliday joys all around meLiving in my memoryAll of the music, all of the magicAll of the family, home here with me

Candles in the windowShadows painting the ceilingGazing at the fire glowFeeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments, special peopleHappy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memoryHoliday joys all around meLiving in my memoryAll of the music, all of the magicAll of the family, home here with me
Ooh
La la
Candles in the windowShadows painting the ceilingGazing at the fire glowFeeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments, special people,Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memoryHoliday joys all around meLiving in my memoryAll of the music, all of the magicAll of the family, home here with me

Songwriter : John Williams for Home Alone

O Come, All You Unfaithful
This is the opposite lyric of the Christmas Carol : O Come O ye Faithful ! 
But the negative description gives a welcome invitation to God Himself. 
See what your God has done 
Come, taste of His Perefect Love

Christ is born for you
He's the Lamb who was given
Slain for our pardon
His promise is peace
For those who believe

O come, all you unfaithful
Come, weak and unstable
Come, know you are not alone
O come, barren and waiting ones
Weary of praying, come
See what your God has done
Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you
O come, bitter and broken
Come with fears unspoken
Come, taste of His perfect love
O come, guilty and hiding ones
There is no need to run
See what your God has done
Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you
He's the Lamb who was given
Slain for our pardon
His promise is peace
For those who believe
He's the Lamb who was given
Slain for our pardon
His promise is peace
For those who believe
So come, though you have nothing
Come, He is the offering
Come, see what your God has done
Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you
Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you

[張震嶽「再見」歌詞]


[主歌]

我怕我沒有機會跟你說一聲再見

因為也許就再也見不到你

明天我要離開熟悉的地方和你

要分離 我眼淚就掉下去


[副歌]

我會牢牢記住你的臉 我會珍惜你給的思念

這些日子在我心中永遠都不會抹去

我不能答應你 我是否會再回來

不回頭 不回頭的走下去


[主歌]

我怕我沒有機會跟你說一聲再見

因為也許就再也見不到你

明天我要離開熟悉的地方和你

要分離 我眼淚就掉下去


[副歌]

我會牢牢記住你的臉 我會珍惜你給的思念

這些日子在我心中永遠都不會抹去

我不能答應你 我是否會再回來

不回頭 不回頭的走下去
