OK, not only Christmas for sure, because all the seasons, are beautiful, regardless of the traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in Bambi&#8217;s mind, in Christmas there is an endless magic. Perhaps she is saying so because it is what will hopefully always remain in her spirit from her (happy) childhood (thanks to her family :)). Indeed, this season brings old memories from Lebanon about love, generosity of the hearts, as well as wishes, or rather prayers, for peace and prosperity (during much adversity then&#8230; and sadly now). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without much philosophy or nostalgia, Bambi would like to use this post to share a couple of songs she had the chance to listen to today (and sing like a frog). The first song is in French. It is by Mr. Enrico Macias and is entitled &#8220;<em>No\u00ebl \u00e0 Jerusalem<\/em>&#8220;. The second song is actually a short Christmas Medley in (Lebanese) Arabic by Ms. Chantal Bitar (posted last Christmas on this blog). The final one is the famous <em>Oh Tannenbaum <\/em>by Ms. Nana Moukouri. If she may, Bambi would like to offer it to Achim who has enriched her blog lately with his comments [if he happens to be reading :)], to her dad, to her father-in-law&#8230; and, OK, last but not least, to someone in heaven (yes, it is you, Firas)&#8230; since you all can understand\/speak the beautiful language of Goethe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"- Enrico Macias - Noel \u00e0 J\u00e9rusalem - Olympia 2003\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L31K8tp4HAI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chantal Bitar - Christmas Medley 2020\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TPFrYxs07zQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Nana Mouskouri - O Tannenbaum\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2lhQ_hBT7lA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi does not know about you, but for her, Christmas is perhaps the most beautiful season of the year.
