Christmas Eve
"Christmas Eve" is a holiday mix with the acoustics of the Christmas eve (Heiligabend, Sochelnik): a base of Christmas (the holiday sound scene), with Christmas bells, a distant church bell and a cozy fireplace on top. "December 24 evening" — an image from European and North American Christmas culture.
Christmas Eve carries particular psychological meaning in most Christian traditions. It is the day of maximal concentration of family rituals: decorating the tree, cooking, exchanging gifts, the festive dinner. El Haj and colleagues (Memory, 2015) showed that childhood festive sounds belong to the category of "universal triggers of autobiographical memory" — even in people with mild cognitive decline they evoke vivid recollections. This effect confirms: for millions of people the sounds of Christmas Eve are the "key" to the warmest memories of a whole life.
Use this mix for Christmas evenings at home (especially for those not at home for the holidays), for preparing presents and the tree, for writing Christmas prose (Dickens's "A Christmas Carol," Turgenev), for podcasts on traditions, for family video calls on December 24 (when you can't be together), for emigrants missing their homeland, and for romantic evenings with traditional aesthetics. Pairs with Christmas (kin scene), New Year's Night (for the Russo-Soviet tradition), Evening by the Fireplace (deepen cosiness).
