Christmas

Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family.

Perry Como

Pierino Ronald "Perry" Como (May 18, 1912 – May 12, 2001) was an American singer and television personality. During a career spanning more than half a century, he recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 44 years after signing with the label in 1943. "Mr. C.", as he was nicknamed, sold millions of records for RCA and pioneered a weekly musical variety television show, which set the standards for the genre and proved to be one of the most successful in television history. Como was seen weekly on television from 1949 to 1963, then continued hosting the Kraft Music Hall variety program monthly until 1967. His television shows and seasonal specials were broadcast throughout the world. Also a popular recording artist, Perry Como produced numerous hit records; his combined success on television and popular recordings was not matched by any other artist of the time. Como's appeal spanned generations and he was widely respected for both his professional standards and the conduct in his personal life. In the official RCA Records Billboard magazine memorial, his life was summed up in these few words: "50 years of music and a life well lived. An example to all." Composer Ervin Drake said of him, "... [o]ccasionally someone like Perry comes along and won't 'go with the flow' and still prevails in spite of all the bankrupt others who surround him and importune him to yield to their values. Only occasionally."

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She rose to prominence after the release of the first single taken from her eponymous debut album in 1990, "Vision of Love". More than two decades later, Rolling Stone defined the song as an influence on "virtually every other female R&B singer since the nineties". Mariah Carey produced four chart-topping singles in the US and began what would become a string of commercially successful albums which solidified the singer as Columbia's highest selling act. Carey and Boyz II Men spent a record sixteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 with "One Sweet Day", which remains the longest-running number-one song in US chart history. Following a contemptuous divorce from Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, Carey adopted a new image and traversed towards R&B with the release of Butterfly (1997). In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards and subsequently named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000.

Christmas

Girl, it's that time for year to sing Feliz Navidad
Underneath the tree there should be some presents there from Santa Claus
Girl, I'm begging you, don't be mad at me
I forgot it's Christmas, and you're oh so hard to try to please
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't know what to do
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't have a gift for you
I can give you ay, ay, ay
All you need is ay, ay, ay
Un poquito ay, ay, ay
On this Christmas night, yeah (Whoo!)
Girl, pretend my arms are like shiny, big, red bows
Wrapped around your kisses underneath the magic mistletoe
Girl, my gift of love is comin' from the heart
Peace on earth, goodwill to all starts right here where we are
Everybody sing
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't know what to do
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't have a gift for you
I can give you ay, ay, ay
All you need is ay, ay, ay
Un poquito ay, ay, ay
On this Christmas night, yeah (Whoo!)
Vámono'
Muévelo, muévelo
Come on
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't know what to do
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't have a gift for you
I can give you ay, ay, ay
All you need is ay, ay, ay
Un poquito ay, ay, ay
On this Christmas night, yeah
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't know what to do
Ay, ay, ay, it's Christmas and I don't have a gift for you
I can give you ay, ay, ay
All you need is ay, ay, ay
Un poquito ay, ay, ay
On this Christmas night
Ay, ay, ay ~ Ay, ay, ay
