People like their Christmas songs - old...

Twenty-three songs have been in the top half of Billboard’s Holiday 100 nearly every week since the list began in 2011, with 15 of them being written before 1970, and only 1 of the top 23 holiday songs was released this century, and it’s a cover of a song written in 1951, Washington Post writes in as amusing article about Christmas songs. So, why do we prefer old Christmas songs? - “Christmas music is... about homecoming, nostalgia, looking back to a more innocent time in one’s life or cultural history”, Joe Bennett, professor of musicology at Berklee College of Music, told the Post.
