Il Natale. Non c'e nulla di piu bello dell'albero che illumina la stanza con le sue lucine colorate, o dei regali perfettamente impacchettati che lo circondano. Per non parlare poi degli immancabili dolci e della perenne lotta tra chi ama il pandoro e chi invece il panettone. Eppure, non sarebbe davvero Natale senza le canzoni che, con le loro note allegre, fanno da colonna sonora a questo giorno di festa. Per gli amanti dei musical, abbiamo selezionato dieci canzoni, dalle piu classiche alle piu recenti, che vi terranno compagnia durante questa giornata di festa, dalla preparazione del grande pranzo natalizio alla delicata procedura di spacchettare i regali.
