Christmas songs by singer-songwriters

Not just a holiday or moment for reflection; the original song offers a different perspective - often against trends - on Christmas, investigating the human soul, the relationships of couples and groups, the emotional dynamics that are exalted or, conversely, supressed in this 'suspended' time. The holiday is a pretext for evoking memories, igniting hopes that turn into utopias or reveal exploitative events, without neglecting points of view that criticize the tradition. The original Christmas song is first of all about the songwriter, who does not adapt to the conventions of Christmas pop and to the suffocating rhetoric that often permeates it; he is secular, biased, but capable of raising doubts and questioning consciences starting precisely with the mystery of the Nativity.
