Funny Christmas Songs For Kids

By Katie Gibbs


The holidays arrived and once again, it's for radio and tv the opportunity to make us enjoy the Christmas music we appreciate. While historians aren't certain of the roots of Christmas caroling, we are inclined to think that initially carolers had been roaming from one house to a different one, singing Christmas melodies and obtaining food or some hot drink. Then came radios echoing the beautiful melodies of Joy to the World as well as Silent Night. The birth of television allowed us to enjoy the holiday season by creating a wide variety of Christmas shows that we appreciate every year.

One of these well-known classics is Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", particularly adapted for these shows. Who doesn't know the story of this old miserly, avaricious, egocentric and vindictive man known as Ebenezer Scrooge, who became a kind, generous and grandfatherly gentleman? Many carols are largely and regularly featured in any edition you care to watch. 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 well-known film "It's a Wonderful Life", starred by James Stewart? Don't forget George Bailey and the angel Clarence Odbody... The angel has been sent in the world to show George, depressed, all of the good he has done to people around him. In the end of the film, the whole household gathered around the Christmas tree and sang "Joy to the World". Our life is actually fantastic!It's a fantastic life without a doubt

In all movie genre, there's one whose music will turn out to be an international and everlasting success... The famous "White Christmas", performed by the great and absolutely incomparable Bing Crosby! These days this song is still regarded to be probably the most well-liked Christmas song in the world.

Bing Crosby held a Christmas unique for numerous years till his death in 1977. These shows hosted many 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 numerous others. Bing Crosby's final Christmas show was unforgettable 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 is for certain one of probably the most wonderful Christmas songs ever made.
