As Christmas is approaching we all are excited about it. One of the most important thing we need to consider while introducing X-mas to our kids is; what is the origin of it and how come it came to live.
Looking back in the history we all know that we celebrate Christmas because of Jesus Christ birth.
Now do you know what why Christmas is all red? well there is a hidden story behind it.
In past Christmas use to be all green. But thanks to our loved brand coke — cola. It turned to red.
Coca-Cola hired an artist to create a Santa Claus,” Eckstut says. “They had done this before, but this particular artist created a Santa Claus that we associate with the Santa Claus today in many ways: He was fat and jolly — whereas before he was often thin and elf-like — and he had red robes. … And so the fact that all these things came together — this friendly, fat Santa in these bright red robes, which, I don’t think is a coincidence, match the color of the Coke logo — this really took hold in American culture.”
That said; what else we need for our 25 the December even to make it special. Well obviously we need lots of food, cake, sweets and gifts. But behind the scene we need an awesome song playing in the background so that we can all merge into the Christmas.
That’s why I have listed 9 Blockbuster Christmas songs till date below.
9# “21st Century Christmas” Cliff Richard 2006 Peaked at №2 on the 2006 December charts.
Cliff has done it again, brilliant single double A side, he is the only one that had a single for Christmas about Christmas.
He is the best ever singer we have had in Britain and he should be up on that pedestal as he is amazing, Who else has been making hits as long? and still sells out concerts. All the Cliff fans out there love him to bits KEEP ON ROCKING SIR CLIFF.
8# ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ — Brenda Lee
Being Jewish, songwriter Johnny Marks didn’t celebrate Christmas, but in the ’40s and ’50s he wrote some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. Among them are ‘Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer’, ‘I Heard The Bells of Christmas Day’, and this — an easy-on-the-ear rock ’n’ roll tune sung by a 13-year-old Brenda Lee, which really needs no introduction.
7# “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby is not only the best-selling Christmas/holiday single in the United States, but also the best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide.
6# “Here’s the Christmas” by Harshal Lonare
Here’s the christmas was released in 2019 in October. With in few days the YouTube channel gone viral and reached to 100k subscribers. This song was nominated for BBC radio as well as approached by TV channels.
5# ‘Fairytale of New York’ — The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl
When was the last time you properly listened to Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues’ epic Big Apple-set fable? Shut your eyes and give it a go, and if you aren’t a nervous wreck by the fade-out, your heart (like that jumper from your nan) is two sizes too small. ‘Fairytale…’ is a perfect four-minute narrative of hope, despair and heartbreak — and, despite the profanity, it ends with love.
4# ‘Christmas Wrapping’ — The Waitresses
If you love new wave bands like Blondie and Talking Heads, this is surely the Christmas song for you. It begins cynically with singer Patty Donahue declaring ‘I think I’ll miss this one this year’, before an unexpected romance blossoms in the closing stages and warms her jaded cockles. As festive tunes go, this one’s as dry and delicious as champagne paid for by your boss.
3# ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ — Darlene Love
Is this the most moving Christmas tune of all time? Probably — the combination of Darlene Love’s impeccable pleading vocal, Phil Spector’s gloriously tinselly production and Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry’s magical songwriting could make anyone, even the biggest Scrooge, melt like a snowman under a hairdryer. It’s just an absolutely perfect Christmas song.
2# ‘Last Christmas’ — Wham!
A ballad of doomed romance, ‘Last Christmas’ features sleighbells and synths, plus some truly memorable knitwear in the video. But what really sets ‘Last Christmas’ apart is George Michael’s heart-on-sleeve delivery: his genuine heartbreak horror (‘My God! I thought you were someone to rely on’) and wistful, sexy whispers. The words ‘Merry Christmas’ never sounded so sultry.
1# ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ — Mariah Carey
Shockingly, Mariah’s undeniable Christmas classic never made it to Number One — back in 1994, it had to settle for the runner’s up spot behind East 17’s admittedly pretty terrific ‘Stay Another Day’. But its since made amends by re-entering The Top 40 every year since 2007, helping to cement Carey’s reputation as the ‘Queen of Christmas’. Will this year be the one it finally hits the top? Frankly, only a festive fool would count it out.
