This year, in particular, it seemed like there was even more appreciation for the ceremony and people enjoyed it even more than usual. Still, others were able to see Candlelight for the first time. For others, it is a must-do part of their Christmas tradition that has been for many years. The Candlelight Processional is an absolutely beautiful tradition that for many, is the start of the Christmas season. The Christmas spirit was in the air throughout the whole day as people returned to Town Square for this beloved tradition. After the parks were closed for over a year, the Candlelight ProcessionalвЂ™s return was like a warm blanket of comfort and nostalgia for those in attendance. The return of the Candlelight Processional to the Disneyland Resort is one more step towards normalcy after the opening of the Disneyland Resort earlier this year. Upon finishing, the beautiful orchestra under the direction of NancyВ Sulahian played a postlude medley of holiday music followed by Sleigh Ride. This time, however, they were in the proper place. When it was his turn, he nailed the lines once again. He admitted how excited he was and then after making some hilarious faces, yielded to the voice of Disneyland Bill Rogers. When corrected, his reaction was authentic, hilarious, and endearing. TowardвЂ™s the end of the ceremony, he got excited and jumped the gun on a portion of the narration. It would be hard to find a happier or more enthusiastic narrator than Brown. There were multiple alumni choirs that made up the mass choir.Д«rownвЂ™s energy was infectious as he continued to make his way through the story of Christmas.

Only adults were a part of the mass choir. There were also no students in any of the choirs this year. This time around there were no soloists for the song though. This piece had appeared in the ceremony before. Away in a Manger, which in recent years has had a child soloist, was replaced with John RutterвЂ™s Candlelight Carol. The music this year did have a few changes from recent years. He also reacted after songs he was particularly moved by. Multiple times throughout the ceremony, Brown could. He clearly was connected to the story and the music that helped tell it. His delivery was energetic and heartfelt. Brown made his way up the podium and began to share the story of Christmas. However, this did not detract from the beauty of this ceremony. There were also no youth choirs or soloists included in this yearвЂ™s Candlelight Processional. As the choir processed up into place, it was clear that it wasnвЂ™t the same size as previous years. The processional itself began around 5:30. It took a few minutes before his mic worked, but once it did, he had some fun with this newfound power and made some jokes about it. As Brown hopped up the stairs, he clearly seemed to be enjoying himself as he waved to those who were waiting. By the time the mic check happened in the late afternoon, there was quite the crowd formed in the standby areas to cheer on Brown. As the day progressed, more people joined for the wait.

As has been the custom for many years, people began to wait for the Candlelight Processional when the park opened.
