1. It’s Beginning To Look Like Christmas – Bing Crosby

The first song everyone should listen to as the festive season begins:

On your own front door

Sure it’s Christmas, once more.”

I’m driving home for Christmas, yea”

3. Mis Deseos/Feliz Navidad – Michael Bublé and Thalía

A blend of languages to make a perfect Christmas song:

“A donde sea que yo esté

Tu corazón alcanzaré

Y una sonrisa en tu mirada pintaré

No habrá distancia entre los dos

Al viento volaré mi voz

Con mis deseos a tu alma llegaré.”

Translation

“Wherever I will be

I will reach your heart

And I’ll paint a smile on your face

 

There will be no distance between us

My voice will fly with the wind

It will arrive with my wishes into your soul”

And all the fun we had last year”

8. Blue Christmas – Elvis Presley 

When you’re missing a loved one part 2:

9. Christmas Wrapping – The Waitresses
