It’s this bittersweetness that “Last Christmas” captures so well it’s a synthpop “Auld Lang Syne,” with a true sense of nostalgia where fondness for the past mixes with a sad recognition that we can never relive those days. Childhood Christmases, time spent with friends and family, moments both positive and negative that we can recall, but no longer experience. It marks the end of another year and it evokes memories not just of the past year but of every past year. There is, perhaps, no holiday more conducive to reflection than Christmas. I am referring, of course, to “Last Christmas” by Wham! But, as they’re already assured their place in the Christmas canon, this is an underrated Christmas song symposium, I’m here today to talk about a very different kind of song, the greatest secular pop Christmas song ever written. This is the best sort of Christmas music for one very simple reason: They’re about Christ, the reason, as they say, for the season. “For Unto Us a Child is Born” just really fills you with energy. While not technically hymns, I group the music of Handel’s Messiah in this category as well, and for the month of December, Handel’s Christmas oratorio serves as, I kid you not, my workout playlist. “Hark the Herald Angel Sings?” Fantastic. Let’s start with a caveat: The best Christmas songs are hymns. So, if you find yourself at an ugly Christmas sweater party with not great vibes, throw on this jam and let the good times roll. Plus, the title itself covers all of the bases as far as making sure everyone can celebrate, regardless of what holiday they celebrate.
Whenever this song comes on, everyone in the room just instinctually starts to dance a little bit and lets out an audible “I forgot about this song! It’s so great!” My pick for most underappreciated Christmas song is “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by *NSYNC. You may be thinking this rule doesn’t apply to holiday parties, but that’s where you’d be wrong. The party will liven up and the people will thank you on your way out the door.
