The Christmas Song ...
Have yourself a very wonderful Christmas and Merry Christmas again for the year 2016 where our beloved new President of USA will be celebrating Christmas openly without any threat or insult again. Once again we should wish each other Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I would never wish you happy holidays and without the word Christ, we wouldnt have Christmas. Few days ago I already had my first Chestnuts Roasted on an Open Fire and it was miracle to have this tasty food.
"The Christmas Song" (commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" or, as it was originally subtitled, "Merry Christmas to You") is a classic Christmas song written in 1945 by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé.
According to Tormé, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed (according to BMI) Christmas song was born.[1] "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells') piano with four lines written in pencil", Tormé recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."
The Nat King Cole Trio first recorded the song early in 1946. At Cole's behest – and over the objections of his label, Capitol Records – a second recording was made later the same year utilizing a small string section, this version becoming a massive hit on both the pop and R&B charts. Cole again recorded the song in 1953, using the same arrangement with a full orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle, and once more in 1961, in a stereophonic version with orchestra conducted by Ralph Carmichael. Cole's 1961 version is generally regarded as definitive, and in 2004 was the most-loved seasonal song with women aged 30–49,[2] while the original 1946 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1974.[3]

First recording: Recorded at WMCA Radio Studios, New York City, June
14, 1946. Label credit: The King Cole Trio (Nat King Cole,
vocal-pianist; Oscar Moore,
guitarist; Johnny Miller, bassist). Not issued until 1989, when it was
(accidentally) included on the various-artists compilation Billboard Greatest Christmas Hits (1935–1954) Rhino R1 70637(LP) / R2 70637(CD).
Second recording: Recorded at WMCA Radio Studios, New York City,
August 19, 1946. First record issue. Label credit: The King Cole Trio
with String Choir (Nat King Cole, vocal-pianist, Oscar Moore, guitarist;
Johnny Miller, bassist; Charlie Grean,
conductor of 4 string players, a harpist and a drummer). Lacquer disc
master #981. Issued November 1946 as Capitol 311 (78rpm). This recording
is available on the 2000 Cole compilation CD Christmas for Kids: From One to Ninety-Two, as well as on a CD called The Holiday Album, which has 1940s Christmas songs recorded by Cole and Bing Crosby.
Third recording: Recorded at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, August 24, 1953. This was the song's first magnetic tape recording. Label credit: The King Cole Trio with String Choir (Actual artists: Nat King Cole, vocal; Buddy Cole, pianist; John Collins, guitarist; Charlie Harris,
bassist; Nelson Riddle, orchestra conductor). Master #11726, take 11.
Issued November 1953 as the "new" Capitol 90036(78rpm) / F90036(45rpm)
(Capitol first issued 90036 in 1950 with the second recording). Correct
label credit issued on October 18, 1954 as Capitol 2955(78rpm) /
F2955(45rpm). Label credit: Nat "King" Cole with Orchestra Conducted by
Nelson Riddle. This recording is available on the 1990 Cole compilation
CD Cole, Christmas, & Kids, as well as on the various-artists CD Casey Kasem Presents All Time Christmas Favorites. It was also included, along with both 1946 recordings, on the 1991 Mosaic Records box set The Complete Capitol Recordings of the Nat King Cole Trio. This version is sometimes (though quite rarely) played on the radio during the Christmas
season and is nearly identical to the popular 1961 recording. It is
easy to tell apart from the 1961 version in that the final notes (the
Jingle Bells guitar bit) sounds faster and more rushed.
Fourth recording: Recorded at Capitol Studios, New York City, March 30, 1961. This rendition, the first recorded in stereo, is widely played on radio stations during the Christmas
season, and is the most popular/familiar version of this song. Label
credit: Nat King Cole (Nat King Cole, vocal; Charles Grean and Pete Rugolo,
orchestration; Ralph Carmichael, orchestra conductor). The instrumental
arrangement is nearly identical to the 1953 version, but the vocals are
much deeper and more focused. Originally done for The Nat King Cole Story
(a 1961 LP devoted to stereo re-recordings of Cole's earlier hits),
this recording was later included in a reissue of Cole's 1960 holiday
album The Magic of Christmas replacing 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'. Retitled The Christmas Song,
the album was issued in 1963 as Capitol W-1967(mono) / SW-1967(stereo)
and today is in print on compact disc. This recording of "The Christmas
Song" is also available on numerous compilation albums. Some are Capitol
pop standards Christmas compilations while others are broader-based.
For example, it is available on WCBS-FM's Ultimate Christmas Album Volume 3.
An alternate take of the 1961 recording, featuring a different vocal
and missing the solo piano on the instrumental bridge, appears on the
Deluxe Edition of the 2014 compilation The Extraordinary Nat King Cole.
There were several covers of Nat Cole's original record in the 1940s. The first of these was said to be by Dick Haymes on the Decca
label, but his was released first – not recorded first. The first cover
of "The Christmas Song" was performed by pop tenor and bandleader Eddy Howard on Majestic. Howard was a big Cole fan, and also covered Nat's versions of "I Want to Thank Your Folks" and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", among others.
Song Lyrics
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
