Many famous artists has recorded this song. Specifically, I like the song by David Choi and Inch Chua.
I found that Justin Bieber has also recorded the song. I played the song on youtube for my husband one day, and he found a liking for it. Last night, he bought Justin Bieber's Christmas song's album. I was surprised that he likes the song more than I do. :)
Each song has different characteristics sung by different artists. Who's song do you prefer?
lyrics
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you

・ Jack Frost :霜の妖精 （雪と氷で出来た妖精といわれる。
その姿は小人であったり、白髪の老人であったり、雪だるまであったりと様々な説がある。基本的には悪戯好きだが、無邪気で子供のような性格で、冬の間にしかあらわれず、ツララの垂れた真っ白な衣装をきているとされる。
しかし、一度怒らせると、その相手を氷漬けにして殺してしまう事もあるという。元来は雪男のような怪物で、笑いながら人間を凍らせるという恐ろしい妖精。そのためジャックフロストの触れたところには霜柱が付くとされている。
冬が厳しい時は、ジャックフロスト達が悪さをしているといわれ、笑い声をあげて寒気をふりまき、春には溶けて消える。 そのときには枯れ葉や窓の霜の模様を残していくとされる。）
