December Song - Nadia Khristean ft. David Ross (Peter Hollens Cover Contest) #LIGHTtheWORLD
Those kids tho... I seriously loved working on this project and I'm so grateful for all the miracles that came together to allow this video to be possible!! I've poured my heart into this and hope you've enjoyed it as much as I had fun working on it!!
Directed by Nadia Khristean
There are 2 things that I really want to say about this video:
1. Why I entered into the Contest: I am a singer/songwriter for causes. I have written songs for Anti-Bullying, Addiction Recovery, Inner Beauty, Families of Fallen Soldiers, Refugees, etc. I get together with different organizations and I market their causes through Music Videos. It has been a humbling experience meeting so many incredible people along this journey.
My goal as a Social Media Influencer isn't to get a following for myself, I've found very quickly that this isn't about me, nor my voice, nor my music, but about the message that is being shared through the music. And I feel that if I had any kind of influence, I would want to use it to, in any small way, influence others to do good. My contributions is just a drop in the ocean and it's you guys that make the messages ripple for miles! The reason why I desire to collaborate with Peter Hollens is because if I had the opportunity to create a Cause driven video with him, I can only imagine how many people the message could reach. And if we together placed a drop in the ocean, with his influence the ripples would be even greater. This isn't about me, this is about giving back to the world in any small way I can.
2. This video is for the #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign! I love the idea of serving in 25 ways for 25 days during the holiday season! I think we've all had moments in our life where we've been so grateful for something someone has done for us. Small things really make the biggest difference!

Lyrics:
In December
We give our gifts
Wishing well to our world
Peace on Earth to
Everyone
A time to be joyful
when all is calm
and all is bright
But why
Does it change with seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?
to Silents Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All
There are times
I can remember
with family and friends
the light of Christmas
radiates
It lights up my memories
the magic of love
we made time...
But why
Does it change with seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?
to Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All
O Come Let Us Adore Him /x3
Oh Night Divine
And those Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabys and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All...
To All
and those Silents Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabys and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All
to Silent Nights
Holy Nights
And Angels Singing
Lullabies and
Heaven and Nature
Singing Good Will To All... To All
