Christmas songs: people either hate them, or they love them. Many individuals even start playing festive tunes at the beginning of November, before December has even had a chance to begin. Now, there are popular Christmas jingles, and people have their favorites. This list may even help someone figure out a Christmas playlist for this year’s festive season.
One famous and popular Christmas tune is “All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carrey. This song is a classic and has been played on the radio since 1994, and the majority of people love this song. In fact, many people often joke around this time of that year that Carrey is “defrosting,” as they often refer to her Christmas song becoming popular again.
I thoroughly enjoy this song, and would consider it rather high on my ranking of Christmas songs. It reminds me of childhood and singing it in the car with my family. I would give it a nine and a half out of 10 on my ranking.
Another jolly tune people enjoy blessing their ears with is “The Christmas Song” by the King Cole Trio. Many people know this song by the opening line, which is “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.” I really enjoy this song, and so I would rate it a solid 10 out of 10. It is comforting, and I also enjoy the hilarity of the meme, too.
This is also a common meme within certain Internet subgroups, as a man named Anuc, who does not speak very good English, created a cover of this song. The lyrics sound something more like “Chest-nots roting on an open fye.”
An animated movie common in many American children’s childhoods is “Frosty the Snowman,” and has a song that goes along with it by the same name. The lyrics include “Frosty the snowman was a jolly, happy soul / With a corn bob pipe and a button nose / And two eyes made out of coal!” Many kids find this as a pinnacle of their childhood, and a feeling of nostalgia can be associated with it. I would rank this song a nine out of 10 because it often gives me some nostalgia as well.
Another fan favorite would be “Jingle Bell Rock,” originally sung by Bobby Helms in 1957. This personally is one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time. It is a great groovy song that one can dance to when they are feeling jolly. I would rate this song a solid eight and a half out of 10.
One last song I would like to review is “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” This song, for me, invokes feelings of when I was a kid in choir being forced to learn this song for our Christmas concert.
Despite the trauma this caused me as a child, being forced into a tacky costume and forced to stand on risers packed like sardines, it still gives me remnants of long-forgotten nostalgia. It is a nice song to listen to when one feels like listening to carol songs. I will rate this tune a seven out of 10.
During the Christmas season, the songs that come along with it are inescapable. They play on the radio far too early in November, and public places are decked out in decorations hanging from every light pole and sign. It is best to just give into the jolliness and festivities that come with the snow every year.
