Having little ones eager to wait from Christmas Eve until christmas day, while this classic sung by the Jackson 5 tells the children all over the world that St. Nicholas was close and was bringing toys to those who have been checked twice on his lists. Which is a good enough reason to leave sugar cookies and warm milk out on that very night before.

When it comes to most Christmas songs, there lies a story behind the majority that we listen to during the season. “Mary Did You Know?” tell the story what people might say can be told by the angel Gabriel of how Mary will deliver the son of God, who will be the savior of the world. This song has been performed by many, but I believe this will have many moved into tears as this explain the light of the world.

Nothing says Christmas like this classic. The Temptations are known well for bringing the soul into soul/ R&B music. This song from their Christmas album is thought to be a metaphor of how the birth of our savior was considered to be a silent yet holy night. The melodies of The Temptations will having you feeling merry all December long.
