The holidays arrived and once again, it is for radio and tv the opportunity to make us appreciate the Christmas songs for kids we all love. While historians aren’t sure of the roots of Christmas caroling, we are inclined to think that originally carolers had been roaming from one house to a different one, singing Christmas songs and obtaining food or some hot beverage. Then came radios echoing the stunning melodies of Joy to the World as well as Silent Night. The birth of tv helped us to enjoy the holiday season by making a wide selection of Christmas shows that we appreciate each year.

One of these well-known classic Christmas songs is Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, especially adapted for these shows. Who doesn’t know the story of this old miserly, avaricious, egocentric and vindictive man known as Ebenezer Scrooge, who turned out to be a type, generous and grandfatherly gentleman? Numerous carols are largely and frequently featured in any edition you care to view. The familiar words to “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, and “Silent Night” are sung by many young boys caroling, often known as wassailing, in hopes of receiving some desserts or a hot cup of the alcoholic drink.

And what about the famous film “It’s a Wonderful Life”, starred by James Stewart? Remember George Bailey and also the angel Clarence Odbody… The angel has been sent on earth to show George, depressed, all of the good he has accomplished to people around him. In the end of the film, the whole family gathered around the Christmas tree and sang “Joy to the World”. Life is actually wonderful!It’s a wonderful life without a doubt

In all film style, there is one whose music will become a worldwide and eternal success… The famous “White Christmas”, performed by the fantastic and unequaled Bing Crosby! Nowadays this song is still regarded to be probably the most popular Christmas song in the planet.

Bing Crosby held a Christmas unique for numerous years till his death in 1977. These shows hosted a myriad of Hollywood celebrities like Cyd Charise, Carol Burnett, Michael Landon, Connie Stevens and many more. Everyone of them would sing such classics as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, “Jingle Bells”, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, and many others. Bing Crosby’s final Christmas show was memorable as David Bowie did a duet with Bing Crosby. The song they performed was “The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth”. Exactly like White Christmas, it’s for certain one of the most fantastic classic Christmas songs ever created.
