The Twelve Days of Christmas
It’s common to receive Christmas presents only on Christmas Day, right? But this song is about getting presents every day for twelve days starting on Christmas.
What a song to make kids jealous! It might be fun to sing it while imagining how nice that life would be.
By the way, the gifts include birds like partridges and turtle doves, as well as nobles, pipers, and more.
Twelve days after Christmas, on January 6, is Epiphany, a Christian feast, and the twelve days leading up to it are considered Christmastide, celebrating the birth of Christ.
Perhaps that’s why so many gifts were given to mark the joyful event of Christ’s birth!
Christmas on Rabbit MeadowLyrics by Toshihiko Shinzawa / Music by Hirotaka Nakagawa
This is the song “Christmas on the Rabbit Meadow,” in which a baby bunny begs Santa Claus for presents.
The little rabbit asks for a hat that can hide its ears and for its beloved carrots.
Even adults may find themselves wondering, “Do rabbits feel cold too?” Children will surely unleash their wonderful imaginations and come up with even more delightful questions.
It seems this can also be enjoyed as a panel theater performance!
shepherds and sheep
The English hymn “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks,” which dates back to around the 17th century in Britain.
Listening to it, I think you can truly feel the holiness of Christmas.
It’s familiar to those who attend church, and even for those who don’t, many have likely heard it as the background music in the Yamazaki Bread Christmas cake commercial featuring Takako Matsu.
The lyrics depict a scene from the New Testament, and just hearing them feels cleansing to the soul—making it a perfect piece of Christmas BGM to create a sacred atmosphere.
Where is Santa Claus from?Nobuyo Ōyama
It was broadcast as the ending theme of the anime Doraemon during the period when Nobuyo Oyama voiced Doraemon.
It’s a cute Christmas song sung by Doraemon with that nostalgic voice.
Children today might not be familiar with Doraemon as voiced by Nobuyo Oyama.
Still, because the melody is so charming, I think it’s enjoyable even without thinking of it specifically as a Doraemon song!
In conclusion
Christmas songs are filled with melodies that resonate with everyone, from children to adults.
From traditional nursery rhymes loved across generations to pop tunes, you’ve probably come across some familiar songs.
This winter, be sure to spend some warm moments with your family and loved ones, wrapped in wonderful Christmas music.
