Today we are doing something different. Since I didn’t finish today’s post, I am doing a Christmas Carol instead.
Today’s Christmas Carol has two different names, but most people don’t recognize them by it. It is known as The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You) or The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire). This song was written in 1945 by Bob Wells and Mel Tomé as they were trying to stay cool on a hot summer day.
It is one of the best Christmas Carols, my absolute favorite singer being Bing Crosby.
Hey everyone, I am so sad to say this, but I just can’t complete the 12 Posts of Christmas. I thought I would but I ended up catching a virus and getting really sick, along with having family/holiday things starting to occur. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and I promise you I will try to post something for Christmas.
Not to leave you all completely high and dry I’m going to end with my six favorite Christmas Carols.
6) Angels We Have Heard on High!
It’s such a pretty song! Plus the chorus is so fun to sing along with.
5) The 12 Days of Christmas
Who doesn’t like this song? It’s just fun to sing.
4) The Christmas Song
Another Bing Crosby! I just love his voice and this song!
3) The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)
Com’on it’s chipmunks! What could be cuter! Alvin and Theodore were always my favorites.
2) Do You Hear What I Hear?
I first heard it in The Little Drummer Boy sequel and loved it! It’s so pretty and here is a video of Bing Crosby singing in his melodious voice. I love the part that goes “a star, a star, way up in the night with a tail as long as a kite”.
1) We Wish You A Merry Christmas
My favorite verse is bring us some figgy pudding! We won’t go until we get some! I just love the fact that the carolers are demanding it! It always makes me laugh when I sing it.
