Fresh from the back office of NIKIN , we present our favourites among the Christmas songs and carols. So if you're still in the midst of the Christmas rush and the festive mood just won't come, treat yourself to our selection.
Similar to crowdsourcing, we relied on "songsourcing" for this blog of Christmas songs and carols. So we searched internally at NIKIN in the team for the favourite song. And voilà, this is what came out:
Best Christmas song? The CEO says "Oh, Tannebaum" (Oh, Fir Tree)
Nicholas is the first to respond to the songsourcing. To those who don't know yet: ersguterceo. "Oh, Tannenbaum" is, of course, a classic. Especially when you consider that the song has its origins in the 16th century.
Graphics Department offers the fountain of youth among the Christmas songs
Santa Tell Me", an input from the graphics department, goes in a completely different direction. The song by Ariane Grande dates from 2011 and has 2.7 million likes. So you might like it too.
Less Cliché, More Rock: Bruce Springsteen's Christmas Carol
For all those who find most Christmas songs too corny, we offer "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by Bruce Springsteen. After all, not everyone likes the full blast of Christmas atmosphere.
From the 80s: the Christmas song par excellence
For all those who can't get enough of clichés and kitsch, we have "Last Christmas". Yes, yes, I know, not the song again, but the author of this blog likes it.
Event Department voted for "Jingle Bell Rocks
"But please in the original version, no other." Okay, agreed! In fact, there are many covers of this song. But the first one with this song was Bobby Helms in 1957. Old, but gold!
New version, but the Christmas Spirit remains
Michael Bublé sings "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" as if he had done nothing else all his life. We think it's good, I'm sure you do too, and maybe this year Mother Holle will hear it and treat us to a Christmas with snow in the lowlands.
Frank Sinatra: what more could you want?
Finally, we wish you "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". It's been a busy year and you certainly deserve a Merry Christmas!
