Your (Favourite) Christmas Theme Song – Part 3

A lovely soul, Ana Perry @ Jubilee Journey is so kind to share with us not 1 or 2 but 5 of her favourite Christmas songs with us!

Her favourite Christmas songs are “O Holy Night”, “Winter Wonderland”, “Let It Snow”, “Christmas Eve In Sarajevo” and “White Christmas” 

We will share the videos for the two songs in bold since one is new to me and Ana has mentioned a preferred version for the other one.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

~ Bob Marley 

Have you lovely souls already hit the play button for one of the above songs?

If yes, let’s continue with the Christmas theme songs for the last four zodiac signs while the beautiful music fills the air around us.

SAGITTARIUS (22/11 ~ 21/12)

LET IT SNOW

“Let It Snow” was first recorded in 1945 by Vaughn Monroe and became a popular hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard music chart the following year.

Singers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jessica Simpson and Michael Buble all covered this song.

Due to its seasonal lyrics, it is commonly regarded as a Christmas song.  However, the song has no Christmas references and is therefore a seasonal song shared by those who do not join in the celebration of Christmas.

CAPRICORN (22/12 ~ 19/1)

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” was written by John Frederick Coots and Haven Gillespie and was first sung on Eddie Cantor’s radio show in November 1934.

Two elements in this song have made it of particular interest to children as well as adults. First is the attention-getting opening-line warning, “You better watch out,” and second is the delightful promise of an upcoming event, “Santa Claus is comin’ to town.” 

 It became an instant hit with orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day and more than 400,000 copies sold by Christmas.

AQUARIUS (20/1 ~ 18/2)

LONELY CHRISTMAS 

This is a Chinese pop song sang by a Hong Kong singer, Eason Chan. It has another title “Christmas Complex”, which is a translation from its Chinese title.

One of its chorus (translated):

Merry Merry Christmas , Lonely Lonely Christmas

Wanting to give somebody my best wishes but having nobody else to call

This knotty love of ours

This is a sad song about how the lonely ones are dealing with their feelings during festive seasons and in this particular case, Christmas.

PISCES (19/2 ~ 20/3)

WHITE CHRISTMAS

“White Christmas” is an Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the version sung by Bing Crosby is the best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide.

In 2002, the original 1942 version was one of 50 historically significant recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
