White Christmas is a great song and one of the great moments in movie history is in "Home Alone" when he is standing in front of the mirror singing. That scene makes this version of this song great.
14. Home Alone Main Title('Somewhere In My Memory')
Another home alone song but none the less it is a good one. The main title is great because it adds a strange element to Christmas. It has some what of a creepy element and makes for a good holiday song. Later on it transitions into a happier song and is a great piece to listen to during Christmas.
13. Baby It’s Cold Outside - Sammy Davis Jr. and Carmen McRae
I really love this song. The thing that makes this particular version the best is Sammy Davis Jr. and his eccentric voices and great singing. don’t get me wrong Carmen’s voice is great too but Sammy does it great.
12. Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes
This is a great rock and roll Christmas tune.
11. Rockin Around The Christmas Tree - Various Artists
All of the good rock and roll Christmas music is very great because it gives a sense of nostalgia during the Christmas season.
10. Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley
Who could do this tune any better than the King?
9. Carol of the Bells - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Trans-Siberian Orchestra is one of the few new Christmas acts that I like. They put a new spin on the music with out compromising the tune. Not only is it new it greatly utilizes the Guitar as part of this great Christmas rock opera.
8. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
This is one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. And when sung by Nat King Cole it is the best. It has a great piano solo at the end of the song that just makes it that much better.
7. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - Gene Autry
When I hear Gene Autry say “You know Dasher and Prancer and Comet and Cupid and Donnar and Blitizin, but do you recall the most wonderful reindeer of all.” It is something that I look forward to all year. Not to mention that Gene’s Christmas Album is one of my childhood favorites.
6. Have A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
You can almost see the words emitting from good old St. Nick singing it himself. And the great part about this is the wonderful happiness in Burls Voice.
5. The Christmas Waltz - Frank Sinatra
There is a good reason why Frank is on the list because he is “The Voice” and what would Christmas music be with out “The Voice”. This song really helps make the season feel just right.
4. Silver Bells - Bing Crosby
Silver bells putts you right in the arms of a city during Christmas even when you live in the desert. It is wonderful.
3. I’ll Be Home For Christmas - Frank Sinatra
One of the best parts of Christmas is the family and this song is a nod to all of those hard working people that might not be able to make it home because life sometimes gets in the way.
2. Oh Holy Night - Nat King Cole
This is one of the greatest songs ever. It really lets us know what the real meaning of Christmas is. The best line is how Christ made the soul feel its worth, because he did.
1. White Christmas - Bing Crosby
This is the ultimate Christmas song no matter who you are. It is an Irving Berlin classic that was first performed by Bing Crosby in “Holiday Inn” the movie and also first performed live by Bing as well. This song and album make Christmas a good Christmas.
It is important to remember why we celebrate this national holiday. It is because of Christ. God bless everyone on this Christmas.
