When Christmas season starts, everyone loves to hear a
single Christmas song playing around. In the midst of this busy season, people
still loves to relax and be entertained not just from the beautiful and colourful
decorations but from the harmony of Christmas songs brought to them.
Christmas jingles are also a form of Christmas song which
are sung lively and joyfully. But some Christmas Hymns are very silent and calm
which is very relaxing and sometimes more musical than other Christmas songs.
But what really are the most common Christmas songs?
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon (1971). One of Beatle John Lennon's dreams in the music
industry was to create a classic Christmas song. Undoubtedly, he was successful
with the song "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" that is simultaneously a
holiday song and plea for world peace.
The Christmas Song - Nat King
Cole (1961). Co-written by
singer Mel Torme, "The Christmas Song" became one of the defining
performances of the career of Nat King Cole. He recorded the song at least 3
times of which the 1961 recording is often considered the best. Sometimes the
song is referred to as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" from the
lyrics in the song's first line.
Have Yourself a Merry Little
Christmas - Judy Garland (1944). This song was introduced by Judy Garland in a poignant
moment in the 1944 movie musical Meet Me In
St. Louis. The filmmakers
complained that the first version of the song's lyrics was too depressing and
commissioned a rewrite that became the most popular interpretation.
O Holy Night - Celine Dion (1998). "O Holy Night," composed in
1847, has become a favorite carol for solo vocal performances. Celine Dion
applied the huge sound of her voice to the classic song on the 1998 collection These Are Special Times.
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town -
Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi (2003). "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" was written
in 1934 and first performed on the Eddie Cantor radio show. It was an instant
hit. Bruce Springsteen has made it a traditional part of his live concerts
during the holidays.
