Matt’s Top 20 Christmas Songs

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong

Alright folks, Christmas music is always a big topic of discussion.  People either absolutely adore it or vehemently despise it.  I am one of the people that really love it, although in moderation.  From December 1st to 25th I can’t only listen to Christmas music.  I have to mix it up and throw it in to my playlists depending on how I am feeling on a certain day.  With the emergence of Christmas compilations and modern covers of Christmas classics, it has been easier to transition from “old world” holiday music to something a little funkier.   Here are my favorite Christmas tunes…

 

1. Bobby Helms & The Anita Kerr Singers – “Jingle Bell Rock”

2. Burl Ives – “A Holly Jolly Christmas”

3. Brenda Lee – “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

4. The Drifters – “White Christmas”

5. Eartha Kitt – “Santa Baby”

6. Bing Crosby – “Winter Wonderland”

7. Aaron Neville – “Please Come Home For Christmas”

8. Andy Williams – “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

9. Johnny Cash – “Blue Christmas”

10. Louis Armstrong – “Christmas In New Orleans”

11. Robert Earl Keen – “Merry Christmas From The Family”

12. Otis Redding – “White Christmas”

13. Bruce Springsteen – “Santa Clause Is Coming To Town”

14. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “Christmas All Over Again”

15. Darlene Love – “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

16. Bing Crosby – “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”
