This track opens with the line “oh thank God you’re here, now Christmas can begin.” It’s an impactful statement that shows that feeling of a holiday not feeling like a real holiday until those special loved ones are with you. Whether that person is a partner, a family member, or a friend, all of us have someone that we just wouldn’t want to experience Christmas without. It can be painful to host a Christmas without that person, whether they have passed or are just far away, this song offers a welcoming space to remember them, and feel their presence in a more spiritual sense.
With passionate choir-like backing vocals, swelling strings, and a passionate vocal performance, the arrangement of “Now Christmas Can Begin” rises and falls to heighten and resolve emotional tension at all the right moments. No matter if you are having Christmas with or away from your loved ones, Mariele reminds the listener “as we once were, we shall always be again,” because the love present during the holidays is everlasting.
