聖誕節的腳步又來到了,在所有的聖誕歌曲中,其中最出名的聖誕情歌,就是「Blue Christmas」。這首歌最早出現在1950年,當時是由老牌的鄉村巨星歐尼斯塔布所灌唱的,後來更是被貓王艾維斯·普利斯萊(Elvis Presley)唱紅,之後唱過這首歌的歌星,前仆後繼達到數十位之多,可見這首歌的歡迎程度。不過,當心愛的人離去,只能自己一個人面對憂鬱的「藍色聖誕節」吧?

Elvis Presley / Blue Christmas lyrics
words and music by
Billy Hayes and Jay Johnson
l have a Blue Christmas without you.
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree,
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me.
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
And when those blue melodies start calling
You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
l have a Blue Christmas without you.
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue , blue, blue Christmas.

"Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. The heart-broken tale of unrequited love during the holidays had long been considered a Christmas staple of country music, having been recorded by Ernest Tubb in 1948. In 1957, Elvis Presley effectively made "Blue Christmas" a steadfast rock-and-roll holiday classic by recording it in his signature style. The song has since been recorded by a host of rock and country artists alike, as well as those of other genres. The song was also featured in the children's Christmas special, The Year Without a Santa Claus. More recently, the song has been covered by Céline Dion as well as the indie band Bright Eyes and Billy Idol in his 2006 Christmas album Happy Holidays.
Elvis Presley's famous recording of the song appeared on his 1957 LP Elvis' Christmas Album. It was also released as a single. Ernest Tubb's version of the song included an extra verse not used by Elvis' later version.
