Carry gave me a good question: why do we always hear the same songs on Christmas?
tradition: you have no idea how fast something becomes a tradition. just think about stuff that goes on in your own house, maybe during a holiday or a special date of the year. Christmas food that's on the dinner table, just to mention one of them. I think the songs are part of that. there oldies which have been arround for so long it's a tradition to play them.. even if it is Wham! *rolls eyes*
childhood: it's a fact that the music we hear as a child will always have a special place in our heart. most people heard from a very young age how the world is a winter wonderland and than some guy is still driving home for Christmas. you here it everywhere! radio, stores, t.v. or anywhere else you might be. at times we even see the memories when we first heard th song, or what happend when 2 man sang about giving a heart away. even when you read this you might hear the songs which titles I used, or smiled at a memory you thought you'd forgotten a long time ago..
brainwashed: yes, you heard me! let's get the truth out there, where all brainwashed! ever heard a song ones and thought it was horrible? but after hearing it 5-10-15 times you start to like it, and after 20 times you can sing the lyrics? it's the same with Christmas songs. there many many more songs out there but it would be pointless playing those. uplifting happy songs with a catchy music and some bells. that's all we want, some sunshine in the cold dark months of winter. the people who create(d) the best Christmas songs know this very very well and used it to make timeless music. annoying at first but with so much warmth that it leaks into our brains where it sits till next year.. and so on.. and so on..
I hope this answers your question Carry
if not: Google!
