Did you catch John Morales, Sarah Tafoya, and Glen Lewerenz geeking out over the origins of some classic Christmas carols?

 

 Here’s the cozy, laugh-filled highlight reel:

 

🚀 "Jingle Bells" in Space?!

 

Sarah shared this: the first Christmas carol sung in space was...drumroll...🎵 "Jingle Bells"! Picture this: it's 1965, astronauts are floating around, and suddenly, 🎶 dashing through the stars... 🎶 "Jingle Bells" wasn’t even meant for Christmas! Originally, it was supposed to be a Thanksgiving tune. Like, what?! Imagine singing about sleigh rides while carving turkey. 🦃🎄

 

Apparently, the song’s origins are a bit mysterious: some say it was written for a Sunday school choir, but hey, all we know is it became a Christmas favorite!

 

🎄 Decking the Halls – Welsh Style

 

Did you know the OG Welsh title of 🎵 "Deck the Halls" was “Nos Galan”? (Say that three times fast.) No surprise, the team at Relevant Radio is living the lyrics: the halls are literally decked with a gorgeous tree, an outdoor Nativity scene, and so much Christmas spirit you can basically hear angels singing. 😇✨

 

❄️ "White Christmas" – A Song with History

 

Bing Crosby’s "White Christmas" is such a classic, but Sarah reminded us it wasn’t just fluff. Bing first crooned it in December 1941, right after Pearl Harbor. For a nation reeling from war, it was a bittersweet memory of what Christmas should feel like. It brought about dreamy nostalgia. 😢❤️

 

Christmas carols are steeped in history, emotion, and even a little mystery. Whether you’re imagining astronauts belting out “Jingle Bells” or feeling the bittersweet hope in “White Christmas,” these songs connect us across time and space. 🌟🌍

 

So next time you sing along, think about the stories they carry, and maybe throw in a little Welsh flair! 😉
