The Christmas Song [Whitney Houston]
Ultimate Christmas 2 Soundtrack · Ultimate Christmas 2 [2004]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire (well)
Jack Frost nipping on your nose (mmm)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe (well)
Help to make the season bright (mmm)
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
(Scats)
You know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Everybody's mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
From kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (scats)
Happy Chanukah
Happy Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas to
To all of you
Merry Christmas to everyone
The Christmas Song [Whitney Houston]
Whitney Houston's rendition of 'The Christmas Song' stands as a definitive example of her vocal prowess and emotional depth. Originally composed by Mel Tormé and Hammerstein II, the ballad was famously recorded by Nat King Cole in 1961, but Houston's 2004 version for the 'Ultimate Christmas 2' soundtrack reimagined the classic with her signature power and warmth. Her delivery transforms the song into a soaring anthem of holiday spirit, showcasing her ability to blend soulful intimacy with belted intensity. This recording remains a staple in the Christmas music canon, celebrated for its timeless appeal and Houston's enduring legacy as one of the greatest vocalists of her generation.
