10 Of My Favorite Christmas Songs


Anyone who is around me for any length of time will quickly learn I'm a Christmas music fanatic. There are days in the middle of Summer that I will wake up and want to listen to songs that make we miss winter and Christmas lights. I thought I would share ten of my favorite songs with you though trust me when I say this, these 10 songs are just the tip of the iceberg. One of them I could not find a link to share with you but trust me when I say that Linda Eder's version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is phenomenal.



These are in alphabetical order by artist so first up is "Sleigh Ride" by Air Supply. This is a catchy version that never fails to bring a smile to my face.



"Cool Yule" as song by Bette Midler is just plain fun. When I listen to it in the car I can't help but sing along even when it gets on my son's nerves. By the way the video I found has some sexy Santas in it for those of you who like that sort of thing.



Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" is a seasonal must for me. Between the song and the movie I can never get enough.

The Dean Martin version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is still the best rendition around. Between his cocky attitude and is sexy voice, you can't go wrong with this one.

Though Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is not one of my favorite musicals it does give us the fantastic song of "Hard Candy Christmas". There is just something about this song that makes me feel hopeful about the future.

No one can sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" better than Judy Garland. I have yet to see Meet Me in St. Louis but I have been in love with this song for years.

"(Everybody's Waitin' for) The Man With The Bag" by Kay Starr is just a happy, bouncy song by a singer I have loved for years.



"Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Linda Eder is a powerhouse of a performance by one of the best female vocalists of her generation. I'm really sorry I can't find a audio clip for you guys but please try to find it on your own, you won't be disappointed.



Nancy Wilson has that voice that makes you want to enjoy a slow dance in front of the Christmas tree with you partner. "The Christmas Waltz" would be the perfect song for it.

Now my favorite "kids" song is "Snoopy's Christmas" by The Royal Guardsmen. I heard it for the first time a few years ago, though it's a lot older than that, and I can never get enough of it.
