a source of psychic strain and emotional damage. Still, crippling carols and all, Christmas music is an enduring piece of our national landscape. In the words of Post columnist Rich Lowry: “American tastes have drastically changed over the decades, yet our Christmas songbook has remained largely the same.
With honorable exceptions — most notably Mariah Carey’s 1994 classic, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — the most-played and most beloved Christmas songs date from the 1930s and the couple of decades after.”Each year, however, a new crop of contenders comes in hot, sleigh bells ringing and high note hitting, with everyone from Cher to Brandy hoping to sing their way into our seasonal celebrations. Though, this year, besides Mariah, they’ll have to get past the late, great, Brenda Lee as well, whose “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” finally hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts this month, 65 years after its debut.In honor of the songbook of the season, we’re matching a Christmas anthem with each zodiac sign.
Read on, listen loud and be well. Aries is punk rock energy incarnate; coming out of the gate with an axe to grind, a fire to start, a sneer to share and a mall Santa to rough up. Kinks guitarist Dave Davies recalls of the song: “I love the humor of it, and the aggression and bitterness.
I could see the faces of my parents when Christmas came around. They had to struggle to make ends meet. We kind of got what we needed, but there was something fake about the holiday.” Humor and aggression? Calling out bull—t to the tune of Christmas bells? Unrepentant ram energy.
