Joan Loves.... December (3) : Modern songs about Christmas.

Some people just forget or maybe don't even know what Christmas really mean. From what I learned growing up, Christmas is actually about  celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ who then sacrifice Himself to save human from sins.


Nowadays ,as you hear the songs and movies and everything which played everywhere to celebrate Christmas, it's always got something to do with either Santa, Christmas Tree,decoration,presents, snow, elf, kissing under mistletoe. In fact they're just  things that comes from certain country tradition, not the real meaning of Christmas. Not that they're bad. It's really fun to have them. I just wish people also still remember the very first reason why Christmas day even exists.


However, I'm glad there are modern  songs that written to remind people  about the real meaning of Christmas. There are a couple of them  listed in my playlist:


1)We are The Reason







ada versi koreanya juga








As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

2) Kutless- This is Christmas








What is Christmas?
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.
What is Christmas?
If the angels never sang 'Glory to the new born king?'
What is Christmas without Christ?

3)Taylor Swift - Christmas Must Be Something more









We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind


You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more
