Last week, one of my favorites blogged about her take on the 5 worse Christmas songs - ever. I never commented because I couldn't get past some of the over-the-top comments her readers made on the topic.
Also, because I was already working on this post, and I giggled - because a few of my favorites were on her worst list. Ah well - if we all agreed, life would be boring, right?

I really only have one song I don't like - Twelve Days of Christmas. Although, I did find a version that makes me giggle. So, I'm listing a few of my favorites instead. I needed more than five because...well...I just couldn't choose.
Believe - Josh Groban
Yule That's Cool - Bette Midler
Where Are You Christmas - Faith Hill
Santa on the Rooftop - Trisha Yearwood (w/Rosie O'Donnell)
Christmas Shoes - Alabama
Santa Claus (I Still Believe) - Alabama
Grownup Christmas List - About a million different artists
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - Elmo & Patsy

It's possible you and I were separated at birth.
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight...there is a Rod Stewart/Dolly Parton version of Baby It's Cold Outside?!?
Have you ever heard Dolly's version of Jingle Bells?
I have heard it! Although I have never looked into her music for a Christmas album, which I should do (since I own probably everything else on the planet).
ReplyDeleteI was trying to hold back on that list. I actually deleted songs prior to posting. Doesn't show, really XD
