Late, but I don't care. Faves:
O Holy Night - Martina McBride's or Celine Dion's version give me chills. Kelly Clarkson's is fabulous vocally, but too choppy musically. HATE Harry Connick Jr's version, which I just heard this year. It actually made me feel a little scared.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Judy or The Pretenders
Little Drummer Boy - Peggy Lee (just heard this version, I really like it) Bob Seger's also.
Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin. Oh, and Tom Jones, for some bizarre reason
Happy Xmas (War is Over) - Melissa Etheridge
Christmas Day - Dido
River - Sarah McLachlan's version
Please Come Home For Christmas - The Eagles
Blue Christmas - Elvis
Santa Claus is Coming To Town - Eye Sack & Stevie
Jingle Bells - Jimmy Buffett
All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
Baby Please Come Home: The Ronettes
Santa Baby - Madonna
Not so much:
Feliz Navidad - I swear, if they had played this one more time over the holidays I was going to tear out my car stereo with my bare hands. Same goes for It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
Suzy Snowflake - I couldn't agree more, David.
Mary Did You Know - Clay Aiken. Barf.
Most newer Xmas songs, which don't really sound like Christmas songs, they just throw the word "Christmas" in there a few times for the hell of it. Christmas Shoes, Dear Mr. Jesus, etc.
Happy Holidays. It's the way she says at the end "Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!" that irks me for some reason.
