From November 1 onward to New Year’s Day, Christmas music becomes an integral part of American culture, playing everywhere from retail stores to radios. However, for some retail employees, holiday music can be a source of psychic strain and emotional damage. Despite this, Christmas music remains an enduring part of our national landscape, with many classic songs dating back to the 1930s and continuing to be beloved by many over the generations.
In honor of the Christmas songbook, each zodiac sign is matched with a Christmas anthem that reflects their unique qualities. From the punk rock energy of Aries in “Father Christmas” by The Kinks to the materialistic and comforting vibes of Taurus in “Christmas in Hollis” by Run DMC, each song captures the essence of the signs. Gemini’s adaptability and mutability are represented by “The Little Drummer Boy” by Frank Sinatra, as well as the more festive “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee.
