Favorite Christmas Songs (with Links)

Hey everyone,

It has come to my attention that not all people are fond of Christmas music. Some people do not like the fact that Christmas music takes up air waves on the radio when they could be listening to normal music. Some people also don't think it is officially Christmas season yet. I think it is. We have about three weeks to enjoy this time of the year, so let's do it. Some might say I am overly eager for Christmas to be here, but I like to think that I enjoy the seasons as they come. Of course, I could be one of those weirdos that does their Christmas shopping before Halloween and no one would ever know, now would they?

All of these videos are absolutely worth watching.

#4- Jingle Bell Rock

This song is so great... perfect song for Christmas parties, Christmas videos, and whatever else you want that has anything to do with Christmas. Rascal Flatts has a great version of this song. If you just thought "Darn... I hate country music!" you will still like this song. I promise




#3- The Little Drummer Boy

I saw a Christmas show with this song once. It turned into a huge drumline thing that was totally awesome. I don't actually know the story behind the little drummer boy, so if someone wants to enlighten me I would be very grateful.



#2- The Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I know this isn't a song, but I have to include them for consistently awesome Christmas music. Look them up on YouTube to hear some great music. You will also find some people that have way too much time on their hands and can do things like this.



#1- The Carol of the Bells (Manheim Steamroller)

This is definitely the best Christmas song. Why? Well, just think how many versions of this song are out there. I'm not the only one that who remembers the Burger King version of this song (Ding, fries are done! and then Garmin has adapted the song to their new commercials. Trans Siberian Orchestra has a great version called Christmas Eve in Sarajevo. The best version (and possibly the greatest Christmas music ever) comes from Manheim Steamroller.




Thanks for watching! If you feel like it you can bookmark this page for a free variety of Christmas music whenever you want (for free). Or you can be like Scrooge and hate Christmas.

Now I have to go to class through the freezing cold.

Adios
