As I post this video, tomorrow will be Christmas Day, and so ends the Twelve Days Before Christmas series. However...we ???? need a New Years Eve song, and I just may have one coming next week, with a special guest vocalist.
"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a Christmas carol to the hymn tune "Gloria" from a traditional French song of unknown origin called Les Anges dans nos campagnes, with paraphrased English lyrics by James Chadwick. The song's subject is the birth of Jesus Christ as narrated in the Gospel of Luke, specifically the scene in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child.
The mid-Sixties pop song, "Sunday Will Never Be The Same" by Spanky and our Gang directly makes use of the chord progression and melody of this song. It's not unusual for this to happen in a song from that era, although it was more common in the early Sixties. The song, "A Lover's Concerto" performed by the Toys used the melody of the familiar "Minuet in G major" from J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, for example.

"I'll Be Home for Christmas" is a Christmas song written by the lyricist Kim Gannon and composer Walter Kent and recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby, who scored a top ten hit with the song. Originally written to honor soldiers overseas who longed to be home at Christmas time, "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has since gone on to become a Christmas standard.
The song is sung from the point of view of a soldier stationed overseas during World War II, writing a letter to his family. In the message, he tells the family he will be coming home and to prepare the holiday for him, and requests snow, mistletoe, and presents on the tree. The song ends on a melancholy note, with the soldier saying, "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams"
