Zat You, Santa Claus? – Louis Armstrong

Posted by admin on 29th November 2011 in Best Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs Lyrics

‘Zat You, Santa Claus?
Gifts I’m preparing for some Christmas sharing,
But I pause because,
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking.
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
Sure is dark out, ain’t the slightest spark out.
‘Pon my slackened jaw!
Who’s there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
Are you bringing a present for me,
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
Then it’s just what I’ve been waiting for.
Would you mind slipping it under the door?
Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling?
My legs feel like straws.
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking.
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who’s there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare.
Now stop teasing cause I know you’re there.
We don’t believe in no goblins today,
But I can’t explain why I’m shaking that way.
Bet I can see ole Santa in the keyhole.
I’ll get to the cause.
One peek and I’ll try there; oh oh, there’s an eye there!
‘Zat you, Santa Claus?
Please, please, pity my knees!
Say that’s you, Santa Claus!

Mahalia Jackson – Silent Night Holy Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at thy birth
Jesus Lord, at thy birth

History Of Christmas Songs

Posted by admin on 24th November 2011 in Christmas Songs

The music was a feature of the early season of Christmas Songs and its festivals. The first songs, litanies and hymns were Latin works for use during the liturgy of the church, instead of thinking of popular songs. The 13 th Century saw the rise of singing in the vernacular under the influence of Francis of Assisi wrote.
In the Middle Ages, when combined circle dances with singing English carols and them. Later came the word singing a song in which a religious theme in a style that it is my family and holidays. From ‘Italy went to France and Germany, and later in England. Christmas carols in English for the first time in a work AUDelay 1426 by John, a priest and poet, Shropshire, 25 “Caroles of Cristemas”, probably sung by groups of was sailers lists went from house to house. Seems to be the music soon became one of the greatest tributes to Christmas, Christmas music and includes some of the finest compositions of the great musician.
While the Government of the Commonwealth of England under Cromwell, the Rump Parliament forbade the practice of singing Christmas carols as pagans and sinners. As with other practices associated with popular Catholic Christianity, which deserves the rejection of the Protestant Puritans. And ‘well known that Cromwell’s interregnum prohibited all celebrations for Christmas. This attempt to ban public celebration of Christmas can also be seen in the history of Santa Claus.
The Westminster Assembly of Divines established Sunday as the only holy day of the calendar in 1644. The new liturgy for the Church of England, produced in 1645 has recognized this and therefore legally abolished Christmas Songs lyrics. His celebration was an insult to Parliament declared in 1647. There is some debate about the effectiveness of this ban and it is applied in the country.
A trend that has from time to time in Europe and the United States emerged in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth century again – Puritans generally rejected by the celebration of Christmas.
When Charles II in May 1660 the Stuarts on the throne, the people of England, once again to the public Christmas carols as part of the revival of Christmas traditions, the practice sanctioned by the celebration of the king William B. Sandys’ s Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern (1833), contained the first appearance in print of many English carols become a classic, and has contributed to the mid-Victorian revival of the holiday had Christmas Songs to sing in church on Christmas Eve 1880 (nine lessons and Carols donated) in Truro Cathedral, Cornwall, England, who is now on display in churches throughout the world.
The tradition of singing songs in return for alms or charity began inEngland in the seventeenth century after the Restoration. The city musicians or “waits” were allowed to make money on the streets in the weeks before Christmas, the custom spread throughout the population through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to gather this. From the seventeenth century, there was the usual English, especially with women, under a “Wassail bowl” of gifts to their neighbors that advertise accompanied by Christmas carols. Despite its long history, the date, almost all the songs Surviving Christmas only from the nineteenth century, with the exception of some traditional folk songs like “God rest you Merry Gentlemen” and “The Holly” When I was on a sunny bank Sat-’and the Ivy “.

Wham – Last Christmas

Posted by admin on 23rd November 2011 in Best Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs Lyrics

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
(You gave it away)
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Special)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I love you,' I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
(You gave it away)
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Special)

Tennessee Christmas – Alabama

Posted by admin on 21st November 2011 in Christian Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs Lyrics

Come on weather man give us a forecast snowy white
Can’t you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are callin’, Denver snow fallin’
Somebody said it’s four feet deep, but it doesn’t matter
Give me the laughter, I’m gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Chirstmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well I know there’s more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then I get a wanderin’ urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town’s for me
There’s a parade there, we’d have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year’s Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting, still I think I’m gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A. it’s a warm holiday, it’s the only place to be
A tender Tennessee Christmas, is the only Christmas for me

Well I know there’s more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer’s here,
But also when ’tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can’st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There’s only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee! !”
