\"\"<\/a>On d\u00e9nombre plus d\u2019une centaine de chansons et de cantiques de Christmas<\/a>, publi\u00e9s et endisqu\u00e9s \u00e0 travers le monde<\/a>. Tous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9s par plusieurs artistes, et en maintes versions, dont certaines demeurent plus populaires que d\u2019autres. Pour quelques-unes de ces chansons, les origines remontent aussi loin qu\u2019au XVIe si\u00e8cle, telles qu\u2019Adeste Fideles par exemple. N\u00e9anmoins, celles ayant connu le plus de succ\u00e8s datent plut\u00f4t du XVIIIe ou du XIXe si\u00e8cle, et figurent parmi les meilleures chansons de No\u00ebl jamais compos\u00e9es jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce jour.<\/p>\n

So, at the top of the Top 10 list, it's hardly surprising to find Jingle Bells, considered the most famous Christmas song of all. So famous, in fact, that at the place where its author wrote it down, Simpson's Tavern in Medford, Massachusetts, there is a commemorative plaque recalling that it was composed there. Next comes Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, a character inspired by a fairy tale that has become as popular as the song. Third place goes to Silent Night, one of the few Christmas carols of Austrian origin, and performed for the very first time in a church on the night of December 24, 1818. Winter Wonderland is in fifth place, a well-known song, and one that has broken sales records.<\/p>\n

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is ranked sixth in the Top 10. Although its lyrics were originally considered depressing, the modified version nonetheless touched the hearts of American soldiers during World War II. Let It Snow, published and recorded by numerous artists, also set a new record for the number of copies sold. At number eight is The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas), inspired by a hot day, followed by Here Comes Santa Claus. Finally, in tenth place is Elvis Presley's hit Blue Christmas. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
