Advent Calendar December 22nd: Step Into Christmas

After a long journey yesterday, we finally arrived home...and with so few sleeps left before Christmas day, there’s a lot to do.

Today's Christmas prep involved a whole load of shopping, and decorating our UK Christmas tree - with time-lapse, naturally. Sadly with all the Christmasing, I didn't get to do proper backing or harmonies for this song.

I really would have liked to, but time was against me. Maybe next year...

Step Into Christmas is one of my favourite Christmas songs, ever since I heard it for the first time on a cassette tape that came in a selection box. It was very cool.

The original is way better, with about a billion layers of backing and harmonies overflowing - mine is pared back, mainly due to a lack of time. On the upside, it’s the first vertical video I’ve ever made, and (after a second export and upload because the first one wasn’t quite right) it came out quite nice.

Here’s the video:

Such pretty lights.

And here’s the chord sheet for Step Into Christmas.pdf

Warning: while most of the bars in this song are counts of four, there’s at least one bar in each verse which is a count of 6, which makes where you do the chord change quite tricky. You’ll know what I mean when you try to play… Threw me for a loop a bunch of times while recording, but I’m sure you’ll ace it straight away.

Enjoy!

Love always,

Fay
