Entertainment Macco: What does Christmas mean to you?

Charli: "Christmas signifies a time for Unity, Rebirth and Family gatherings."

KELLI: "Christmas means Family,Friends and even Strangers unite to LOVE,SHARE and CELEBRATE."

Entertainment Macco: What is your most memorable Christmas experience?

Charli: "It was the Christmas I worked at the wrapping booth in a mall, everyday was special, hearing the carols and parang, seeing different people coming in leaving happy it was to be in that type of atmosphere, it breathe a constant reminder of the time of year and then I also got what I wanted for Christmas."

KELLI: "Can’t pick just one…as most of my childhood Christmas memories,I remember waking up to the smell of my mom’s Freshly Baked ham,my dad washing the car and whistling to the carols on the radio,then getting all dressed up for church…those were the good old days!"

Entertainment Macco: What made you choose this particular Christmas Carol?

Charli: "Well, it was the one I thought if executed well, the twist we put on it would be a lullaby , soothing effect fitted for especially Christmas Eve."

KELLI: "The simplicity of the song,yet awesome meaning it had. Plus the idea of not much music accompanying us,let’s people really pay attention to the lyrics."

Entertainment Macco: Is this Christmas Carol your favourite or is there one closer to your heart? If there is one share it!

Charli: "Nat King Cole’s: O Come All Ye Faithful."

KELLI: "It is definitely ONE of my favorites,but O Holy Night is another one that I Love."

Entertainment Macco: This is the first time I have heard you sing/play in this style, and it is great can we look forward to hearing this style more often?

Charli: "Well we have a song on our forthcoming album that has a similar type of vibe even though it is not a Christmas Carol and it leans more to sexy, sultry type of soothing."

KELLI: "Of course you can,we grew up on Al Green,Aretha Franklin,Donna Sommers etc. Not to mention being in a youth choir, so you will definitely hear a lot more of us singing this style of music on our upcoming album,as well as live performances."

Entertainment Macco: What challenges if any did you face in your interpretation of this carol?

Charli: "Actually we really didn’t have a problem with the interpretation, pretty much with the concept that Mastamind presented, a Caribbean Christmas, the idea came easy, I thought keep it organic, focus on harmonies and we arranged it with that in mind."

KELLI: "Interpretation was not really a challenge because we knew the significance of the song itself,plus working on it with Shawn “Mastermind” Noel and Natasha Noel was a BREEZE!!!"

Entertainment Macco: What Christmas traditions do you “MUST” follow every year?

Charli: "Going to church with the family Christmas Morn."

KELLI: "Baking the Ham Christmas eve night…Hey,that’s what my momma taught me and I’m sticking to it!"

Entertainment Macco: What is one thing you taught, or plan to, or would like to teach your child/children about Christmas?

Charli: "Well the importance of what Christmas signifies, which is the birth of Our Lord and his purpose and even though we express our appreciation by exchanging gifts, it is not the most important aspect of Christmas."

KELLI: "I would teach my child/children what I was taught,which is the true REASON for the Season…The day Jesus Christ was born to save us from ourselves through Loving , Sharing and Forgiving unconditionally."

Entertainment Macco: What is your absolute favourite Christmas dish?

Charli: "Hmmmm I love pastelles, with a Christmas salad and my Mom’s Stuffted Chicken recipe, with pigeon peas and Christmas rice, lol"

KELLI: "Pastelle and Ham with a glass of Sorrel is a MUST!!!"

Entertainment Macco: Are you the early preparation type and comfortable type OR the last minute hustle and bustle, smelling the fresh paint type?

Charli: "Definitely the last minute type."

KELLI: "Oh we are born and bred “last minuters” and proud of it!"

Entertainment Macco: Do you think Christmas is appreciated, as it should be?

Charli: "No it is not! The substance of the season is gone….totally misunderstood."

KELLI: "It is appreciated,but not necessarily for the what it really signifies."

Entertainment Macco: Does the actual day mean as much to you as the season?

Charli: "Yes it does."

KELLI: "YES"

Entertainment Macco: Parang VERSUS Carols; which one do you prefer?

Charli: "I love both!!! I love variety!"

KELLI: "Both bring a fuzzy feeling that can’t be explained…I would never dare choose!"

Entertainment Macco: Do you feel the same about Christmas as an adult in comparison to your feelings when you were a child? What has changed?

Charli: "The excitement is still there, the meaning of it, the difference is when it comes to gifts, I have to do the buying of stuff now, lol"

KELLI: "Yes,I feel the same as an adult because I do the very same thing I did as a child for Christmas,which is spend it with the people who I Love and care for (Family and Friends)"

Entertainment Macco: If there was one thing you could change about Christmas, what would it be?

Charli: "The rebirth of the true meaning of it."

KELLI: "Probably to make everybody understand what CHRISTMAS really means."

Entertainment Macco: Are you on the Naughty or Nice list? I hope you are not getting coal in your stockings this Christmas… lol

Charli: "Well my naughty is nice as well, so I’m definitely getting what’s on that nice list! LOL Merry Christmas everyone!"

KELLI: "On the NICE list…cause that’s just the kinda girl I am! Till there’s a reason to be Naughty (shhh)"
