Happy December!!!! It's that time of the year again when we hear the same old Christmas songs on repeat. But there's one song that always stands out to me, and that's Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt.

This song has a fascinating history behind... Written in 1953 by Joan Javits and Philip Springer, who were both Jewish. They wanted to create a parody of the materialistic Christmas songs that were popular at the time, and they thought of Eartha Kitt as the perfect singer for it. Eartha Kitt was a black woman who had faced a lot of racism and discrimination in her life, but she also had a lot of charisma and talent. She was known for her exotic and sultry image, and she had a reputation for being outspoken and controversial.. perfect I love controversy ❤️🔥

She added her own flair to it, making it sound more playful, seductive and also changed some of the lyrics, she made the song her own, and she turned it into a huge hit. It became one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time.

But not everyone liked the song..

Despite all the huge controversy, she loved the song and what it represented for her: a way of expressing her personality and humor, and a way of challenging the norms and expectations of society.

She said that the song was not about greed or materialism, but about fantasy and fun. She said that she was not asking Santa for anything, but rather teasing him and making him laugh.

I think that's why I love this song so much. It's not just a catchy tune with witty lyrics, but also a statement of empowerment and defiance..

It's a song that celebrates Eartha Kitt's unique voice and spirit, and that inspires me to be myself and have fun. It's a song that reminds me that Christmas is not about what you get, but what you give: joy, laughter, and love. And feel that Santa can make everything possible ♥️ why not? Magic ✨
