Christmas is the season of joy and gaiety! The delicious smell of cookies in the air, jingling bells of church and Christmas decorations across the streets, parties sparkle the spirit of Christmas. Music is an integral part of Christmas celebrations. Christmas without carols and songs is unthinkable! Peppy Christmas songs spice up Christmas parties. Singing Christmas songs is the age old Christmas tradition. We look forward to hearing Christmas songs, celebrating the festive spirit. From birth of Jesus in a manger, jingling bells of church, joyfulness with family to arrival of Santa in his sledge, all is woven into beautiful Christmas Songs. The traditional songs like ‘Silent Night', ‘Oh Holy Night!' have been around some decades. However, there are some modern Christmas songs, which are equally popular. Here, we bring to you some of the popular modern Christmas songs.
Contemporary Christmas Songs
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
The sun is shining
The grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway.
I've never seen such a day
In Beverly Hills LA.
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white.
The Christmas Song
(Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate goin' out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
(When we finally kiss good night)
How I'll hate goin' out in the storm
(But if you really hold me tight)
All the way home I'll be war-ar-arm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow
Do They Know It's Christmas
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
And there won't be snow in Africa
This Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
