If you grew up in a household that was anything like mine, your family will have its own compiled, established list of Christmas classics.
My parents were more inclined towards the old-fashioned Christmas hits β the likes of Mariah Carey and Wham! were strictly off-limits β so I have a special place in my heart for those ballads that have survived the decades and wake feelings of nostalgia whenever theyβre played.
Thatβs probably why I got all fuzzy inside the first time I heard Carrie Underwoodβs take on The Little Drummer Boy, which she sang as a heartwarming duet with her little boyβ¦
The Little Drummer Boy is truly a timeless hit, I think we can all be in agreement on that.
Reportedly, the lyrics for the tune have their roots in a traditional Czech carol, with the song as we know it today believed to have been written by Katherine K. Davis in 1941.
