In most of North America and Europe, Christmas conjures up images of snow gently falling on tranquil winter wonderlands, Yule logs burning on an open fire, and introspective silent nights. Closer to the equator and in much of the southern hemisphere, the warm December sun and tropical rhythms are all that are needed to throw a holiday dance party. In Latin America, salsa, cumbia and other upbeat sounds provide the musical background for festive Christmas celebrations. Christmas parties in Jamaica, Trinidad and other Caribbean countries feature home-grown reggae, ska, soca and more. Across Africa, festive street parades are a common sight during the holiday season, with the dancing and merriment peaking after Christmas Eve services. While people around the world celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve in different ways, we all share the common desire to enjoy a festive holiday season with family and friends. After all, "`tis the season to be jolly," so we have assembled some of our favorite upbeat seasonal songs to get you rockin' around the Christmas tree. So get ready to deck the halls with a world Christmas party!
