Andrea Bocelli & Matteo Bocelli, Holy Night

O meu presépio

E tem sido este, há já largos anos, o presépio que escolhi para celebrar aquela que, para mim, é a festa por excelência da Família!

Silent Night, Holy Night

In the quiet of the night,

Underneath the star so bright.

Families gather, hearts alight,

On Christmas Eve, love’s pure sight.

Carols sung with all their might,

Around the tree, sparkling white.

Gifts exchanged in soft moonlight,

Christmas Eve, a delight..

Para quem, eventualmente, se dedicasse a fazer uma pesquisa tendo em vista uma breve resenha histórica da publicidade de Natal da Coca-Cola, ficaria agradavelmente surpreendido com o cuidado e requinte que esta empresa tradicionalmente dedica aos seus anúncios, nesta época específica.
