LYRICS: "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Can 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

(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!

* "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 Robert Wells and Mel Tormé. *

Memories of an "Italian-American Christmas"; From the aroma of the food to the glow of the fire lights and good music "Canzone Natalizia or Canzone Di Natale" there's nothing like an Italian-American Christmas. More than 3 million Italians immigrated to the United States in the early years of the 20th century, establishing the largest immigrant community of the period. Where a group of Italian-American vocalists achieved great success as recording artists and performers, here we'll salute the Italian-American crooners, such as Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Vic Damone, Jerry Vale, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Lou Monte, Al Martino, Julius La Rosa,Jimmy Roselli, Frankie Laine, Don Cornell, Connie Francis and many, many more, hearing their Christmas songs that played in our homes. Undeniably, religion remains the central part of the Christmas season, and so we share the season with family, Loved ones, plenty of good food and music.

A very famous Italian proverb says: “Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi,” meaning that is mandatory to spend Christmas with your family and loved ones, but you can choose friends or whoever you want for Easter.

Buon Natale! Merry Christmas
