She wrote it about my father who passed away a couple of years ago after a happy 63-year marriage. She wrote the lyrics as a poem that is soon-to-be published in her new book, Dare to Dream. This song is about their love for each other and how love transcends time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christmas Kisses\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RVyxvBPjq_g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This song, &#8220;Christmas Kisses&#8221; is very special to me because I co-wrote it with my amazing mother, Shirley Machura.
