There are various versions of the melody, but the most well-known is by William Kirkpatrick from 1895. This carol is incredibly simple but stunning.

In 1970, Puerto Rican singer and songwriter José Feliciano was in his house in the United States, feeling homesick and missing Christmas in his own country. This inspired him to write his international success, Feliz Navidad. The original version of this song contains only nineteen words: six in Spanish and thirteen in English! Feliciano chose to write bilingual lyrics in order to unite people with its positive message...and it worked. This song is a staple during the Christmas holidays. In 2011, Canadian singer Michael Bublé released a version of this song with Mexican singer Thalía, using modified lyrics and a lovely, musical introduction.

7. Sing along to O Christmas Tree with Tomplay
▶️️ O Christmas Tree Sheet Music with Lyrics and Sing Along Audio Track
Originally the song O Christmas Tree had nothing to do with Christmas! It is based on a German folk song O Tannenbaum, the word for a fir tree. The original lyrics of the piece focused on the evergreen tree being a symbol of faithfulness and hope, to help get through the cold German winters. The modern-day lyrics were written in 1824 by Ernst Anschütz. As people began to appropriate the tradition of a Christmas tree, the song became more and more popular. At some point during the 20th century, the lyrics were modified again to make it a Christmas song.
