Fum Fum Fantasia incorporates both the Catalonian Carol 'Fum Fum Fum' and 'Deck the Hall'.
Fum Fum Fum is a Catalan Christmas Carol from the 16th or 17th century. 'Fum' means smoke in Catalan, hence might refer to smoke coming from a chimney whereas Oxford's meaning points out the sound of a drum. Smoke and Drums signify the proclamation of the birth of Jesus
Deck the Hall is a Christmas carol from Wales that dates back to the 16th century.

Menorah: Christian references to the Menorah appear as early as the Book of Revelation, which mentions the '7 golden lampstands' seen by John who identifies them with the seven churches of Asia Minor. The seven-branched lampstands represents Christ, the light of the world. The Holy Bible lucidly states that God revealed the design for the menorah to Moses in Exodus 25:31-40.

Are we dormant? Are we capable of lighting the lamp? Do we have enough oil within? Are we prepared to meet our King? Let us rekindle Christ within us to wash out all the ash.
