    Two of my favorites are Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. One that I like even better than those, though, is "Sleigh Ride" by the Boston Pops.

    • @americangiant1003
      @americangiant1003 2 года назад

      Skinny well said and agree 1000%. Both Donny's underrated classic and "Christmas Wrapping" should been at least been an "honorable" mention. And if you had to select the best ever Micheal Jackson/Jackson 5 Christmas Song IMO no doubt should been "Give Love On Christmas Day' was much better than the 2 that was what the Staff at Mojo. Personally I would have either the first Donny version of "This Christmas" or "Christmas Wrapping" in place of one of the Two J5 songs on this list.
      PS Mojo suggestion. Please maybe next time do the "best Christmas albums' ever. No doubt the "J5" would be on that list at least in the Top 10.

    First off, I thought the ghost stories mentioned in "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" was a reference to the Dicken's book "A Christmas Carol."
    I also want to give a shout out to "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses & "Is That You, Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong.
    And a huge debt of gratitude to whoever came up with the idea to play Dan Fogelberg's "Another Auld Lang Syne" at Christmastime. It's a touching reminder that sometimes Christmas can be exquisitely bittersweet.

    • @americangiant1003
      @americangiant1003 2 года назад +1

      Thanks Rachel. Agreed. Just for how 'different it is" the underrated Fogelberg classic should been at least "honorable mention" on this list. And how the Christmas/New Years Holidays can be bittersweet. for many people Worldwide as well. Whether when it first came out around the early 1980's or during say getting through the Christmas season during the Covid Global Pandemic of the early 2020's as well.

    This was a great list, but I was kinda sad that “Step into Christmas” by Elton John didn’t even make the list. It’s a classic and it’s always in my holiday playlists.
    Some of favorite Christmas songs are:
    1) Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer-Elmo and Patsy(this song cracks me up)
    2) Step into Christmas-Elton John(such a classic and again, it always finds its way in my holiday playlists)
    3) Oh Holy Night-I like the Glee Cast version of this song(there’s so many covers of this song but the Glee Cast Version is really good)
    4) Wonderful Christmastime-Paul McCartney(this one has been a favorite of mine since I was little)
    5) Mele Kalikimaka-Bing Crosby and the Anderson Sisters(such a classic and it’s the one that I associate with Christmas Vacation lol; a great cover of this song is the one Seth McFarlane did for his Christmas album a few years ago)
    6) Ave Maria-Leona Lewis(oh my goodness. This was a fantastic cover she did. It gave me goosebumps and made my jaw drop when I heard it the first time)
    7)God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen-Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan(another song that finds its way in my holiday playlists)
    8) Little Saint Nick-The Beach Boys
    9) Christmas Time is Here-Vince Guaraldi trio(love this song. Mariah Carey did a fantastic cover for her second Christmas album. She called it “Charlie Brown Christmas)
    10) Please Come Home For Christmas-Eagles(I swear this song was in most of the holiday movies I watched as a kid lol)
    Honorable Mentions-The Chanukah Song-Adam Sandler(I know, I know it’s not technically a Christmas song, but come on now. It’s definitely not the holidays if you haven’t heard this one at least once. And it’s pretty funny too)
    Christmas Canon-Trans-Siberian Orchestra(I love this one. And the children’s choir did an excellent job singing on this track)

      Being fair this is a very difficult choices on the best "Christmas Songs" ever . It was going to be heavily debated and even controversial. With that said, I agree with you that your picks of "Step Into Christmas" "Wonderful Christmastime" the version by Barenaked Ladies and Sarah of the classic "God Rest Ye Merry Christmas" and "Please Come Home for Christmas" by the Eagles should all have either been on the list or minimum 'honorable mention."

    I'm starting to like Let It Snow more. I feel when November 1st hits (because the Halloween season is over with), it can snow all it wants. Plus everyone can go crazy on Christmas stuff if they want (I don't consider Thanksgiving a decorative holiday, it's more like a holiday like Memorial Day or Labor Day). So with that, the best way to sum up how I am feeling when it's November 1st is let it snow. And when it comes to the Christmas 2021 season, that's how I definitely been feeling.

      Eric. I think the really reason Bing's legendary Christmas songs mainly "White Christmas" will always be in the top 2-3 lists of Christmas songs has also been for historic reasons. It came out for the Christmas season in late 1942 for a Crosby film right in middle of WW2. A few years back when I watched the American Filmmaker/Producer Ken Burns did the documentary on World War 2, they did a lengthy segment on "White Christmas." And how that legendary song was played year round for the rest of WW 2 due to it's popularity. So in a scene "White Christmas" became an unofficial theme for the American led Allied forces to defeat Hitler as well.
