It’s Christmas Eve, and there’s much to look forward to – a Christmas tree with bling and baubles, a hoard of gifts wrapped in shiny paper, and rich plum cake, roast chicken, and eggnog. To children who grew up in India though, Christmas has mostly been about presents and caroling around with friends with red Santa hats on and big family dinner. Of course, there are some cool pop Christmas songs too, thanks to films such as Love Actually and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
Here’s a quick playlist to set the holiday mood:
Sia – Santa’s Coming For Us
Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You
Idina Menzel & Michael Buble – Baby It’s Cold Outside
Wham! – Last Christmas
And the Indian version of ’12 Days Of Christmas’ that never gets old despite being 11 years old.
