Christmas Carols

Grace and Mommy have been singing traditional Christmas carols at the piano for the past week. Grace's favourite is a French Carol - Angels We Have Heard On High, where she found it thrilling to sing the high notes (all 4 bars in one breath) at the chorus section. Mommy advised her to sing that part in a staccato (short and jumping) manner. Grace has a strong voice given by God.
Mommy's favourite traditional carol* is O Holy Night, meaningful lyrics and tune. This needs someone with a soulful singing to express the song beautifully.
Yu's favourite carol is her new-found carol - Silent Night, Holy Night.
* Mommy's all-time favourite carol is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".
