Holidays are synonymous with food, get-togethers, music, dance, games and movies! Speaking of music, a few festive occasions seem unfinished without a melodic touch to them. Christmas Day tops the list. Christmas 2022 falls on Sunday. Tuning in to Christmas carols before the celebratory event on repeat is not a new thing. The pop generation may produce plenty of gold now for the contemporary generation’s souls, but one can’t reach the rhythms from the 70s. One such track is the simple, sober and heart-touching Feliz Navidad. This song, written in 1970 by the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano, will give all the festive vibes ahead and on December 25. The classical music is a delightful Christmas-New Year song with a mixture of decent English and Spanish words. Let’s see the meaning, pronunciation and lyrics of this all-time classic.
