It&#8217;s time for joy, family reunion, and also time to remember <code> God<\/code>&#8216;s love for humankind.  It is also time to look back to celebrate the achievements or to correct route for the plans that did not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a good time to reflect at the words of the song Happy Christmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono without replacing Christ by an X, because by doing this there is no meaning to celebrate Christmas. However, sometimes, Christmas is just a moment for joy without thinking on its historic meaning. And sometimes, religions are just an excuse to segregate people. Let&#8217;s do what Christ told us to do: Love each other as we love ourselves. I wish a new year without wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I told, I would like to leave some Christmas gifts, so I&#8217;ll leave three songs arranged by mandolin, that can easily be used for other solo instruments. The first song is Happy Christmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this song I will also leave a clip video with the same song arranged for solo violin. You also can buy the sheet music by clicking the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PSy_feYdIdM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Happy Christmas for  Mandolin and Guitar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UkiVAydcEKU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Happy Christmas  Played by Violin  with Guitar accompaniment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetmusicdirect.com\/en-US\/se\/ID_No\/1436267\/Product.aspx?affiliate=65400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy the score for violin and guitar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to play along you can also use the playback video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fo_VDiehASc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Playback for Happy Christmas (Acoustic Guitar)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetmusicdirect.com\/en-US\/se\/ID_No\/1436065\/Product.aspx?affiliate=65400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy the sheet music with score, tabs and chords<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next song is Feliz Navidad by Jos\u00e9 Feliciano.
