Holiday Songs (and a Victoria’s Secret Gift Card!) Back to Blog
Update: Now you’ve got me humming…thanks for sharing your holiday tunes! The winner of the $25 Victoria’s Secret gift card is…Cindi C! Congrats!
We’ve talked movies, shared some great recipes, even gone down under for the holiday…but what about the songs? You know, those holiday tunes that just get stuck in your head? We’ve already got a radio station down here playing 24/7 holiday music. Even when I sleep, I feel like I hear that music. Going on and on…
There are some holiday songs that I love. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Classic!
And Jingle Bells? Of course! Love it! Even though my six-year-old requests that we always sing this version:
Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The batmobile lost its wheel
And the Joker got away. Hey!
There are some songs—and I confess this with shame—that I always mess up when I sing. I can’t remember the exact lyrics, so I kind of mutter my way through the song. Yeah, I’m thinking 12 Days of Christmas. By day 4, I’m lost.
What about you? What songs do you love? What songs do you—ahem—mumble along to b/c you’re like me and you just can’t remember the words?
The prize up for grabs this time is a $25 Victoria’s Secret gift card. Good luck!

I love Carol of the Bells!!! it’s hard to find the good classical version ever since the techno one came out for people putting lights on their house.
The song that always gets stuck in my head once I hear it is “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”…LOL. Would it be bad of me to say that I do know all the words to The 12 Days of Christmas.
I love Christmas Carole’s.
I just LOVE Blue Christmas sung by the one and only Elvis! It reminds me of my dad. I love O Holy Night. I’ve heard soo many renditions of it, my favorite is Josh Groban’s and Michael Crawford’s. My kids and I love The Muppet’s version of the 12 Days of Christmas. I love Christmas music, but not before Thanksgiving!

Love jingle bells, rudolph the rednosed reindeer, and silent night. Those are my favs. I always fumble through the 12 days of christmas.
i want a hipputumus for christmas .. my 6 yr old sings it all the time and its always stuck in my head
I love that one too!
I love Silent Night and Little Drummer Boy. When I hear them they are stuck in my head for days.
I love Blue Christmas by Elvis and the one that sends me into great laughter is Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
We have a station that plays 24 hour Christmas music as well. 🙂
Some of my favorites are Jingle Bell Rock, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, Little Drummer Boy and Silent Night (I remember singing that one in elementary school!) And of course I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas and Domenick The Donkey. 😉
Music is one of the joys of my life, so for me to pick a favorite Christmas song is difficult. One that does come to mind, though, is the Bing Crosby/David Bowie version of “Little Drummer Boy”/”Peace on Earth.” Another is “Merry Christmas, Darling,” by the Carpenters. For a more classic selection, I like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” I guess I could go on and on…
My favorite holiday song would have to be Jingle Bells. The beat is catchy and I find the words easy to remember because they go along with the beat.
My favorites are
Deck the Halls
What Child is This
good king wenceslas
I saw three ships come sailing in
My favorite songs are The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…) and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. That song seems so sad and full of longing.
I love Silent Night!!!! All versions of it! Everyone should get Michael Buble’s Christmas Album! It’s incredible! But my all time favs are from the Transiberian Orchestra! I love Christmas! 😉
My favorite christmas song is Rock in Around the Christmas Tree (I think that’s the name). It’s catch and it sticks in your head. It also reminds me of the Home Alone movie when he made his house to look like a big Christmas party was going on and it was just him home. I even bought my mom a stuffed signing Christmas tree (I named her Chrissy lol) and its mouth opens and closes and it bops around and sings to that song.

My favorite ones are Jingle Bell Rock, Away in a Manger, and Frosty the Snowman.
Silent Night will always be my favorite but I really love Montgomery Gentry’s Merry Christmas From The Family. That kind of dysfunction perfectly describes my family 😀
My fave is Dominick the Donkey. Thanks for the contest
Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt….
I always loved Do you hear what I hear.
I love love love Santa Baby by the lovely Eartha Kitt! One of the best Christmas songs ever!
My family was just singing FELIZ NAVIDAD. It is not christmas until the family hears this song. It reminds me of Christmas as a little girl at my Grandmother’s house.—Rachel
I have a lot of favorite songs like God Rest You Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings by the Barenaked Ladies, Breath of Heaven, Go Tell It on the Mountain – I really mess up Silver Bells and Santa Baby though…lol…Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Jingle Bell Rock, listening to The Muppets sing the 12 Days of Christmas,Good King Wenseslas, Snoopy & the Red Baron…
Silent Night… classic. Gets me in the holiday spirit!
My favorite carols are Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, Johnny Mathis’ version of Carol of the Bells and Judy Garland’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. My kids love all the silly ones…I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, etc.
My oldest has been listening to Christmas music since the week before Thanksgiving. 🙂 I don’t start listening until December 1st, around the time that I start decorating.
I love all the songs but my favorite is Ave Maria by Perry Como followed by White Christmas by Bing Crosby. I also love Walking Round in Womens Underwear by Twisted Sister.
Thanks for the giveaway.
The songs I like are I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,Jingle Bells,Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.I also always mess up the 12 days of Christmas.
My favorite Xmas song is Carol of the Bells. And I love love love all the Mannheim Steamroller Xmas albums. As for singing I love to sing them all but I’m not sure if anyone else likes me singing them.
Carol of the Bells is my fav
My favorite Christmas Song is the Peace Carol by John Denver. The lyrics of that song have always touched me, and I have always wondered why it isn’t a more popular carol. That’s why my husband wrote it for his high school a-cappella group to sing, to introduce such a beautiful song to a new generation.(If you search youtube there is a video of them singing it.)
I love Heart Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton.

Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer is always being mangled at my house.
I like the Hippopotamus song.
I was brought up in a French school and I still try to sing my favorite Xmas songs with my grown up kids, but I’ve forgotten a lot of the words…
I love “O Holy Night”
Grandma got ran over by a Reindeer brings me to tears. It makes me think of my belated grandmother who passed away 14 years ago.
She always had some snarky comment whenever that song came on the radio. Asking why it couldn’t be grandpa. Why it is so painful now to hear it.
Rusty Cheverlet is another! LOL.
Wish Everyday could be like Christmas and Please Come home for Christmas by Bon Jovi. Gotta love him!!
Original Jingle Bell Rock. The others are bad renditions.
Though I do like Gothic Christmas. It amuses me.
Twelve Pains of Christmas too.
Ok there are some songs I just love and make me laugh. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas or the Chimney song. The best the 12 Things of Christmas that are such a pain to me. 🙂
I do like the classics like Jingle Bell Rock.
I’m a Silver Bells girl.
I’m always humming Jingle Bell Rock during the holidays. I don’t remember all the words so halfway through I start mumbling. It works in putting me in the festive mood.
I’m a whore for pretty much every Christmas songs. I love acoustic and jazz renditions!
My favorites: Santa Baby, White Christmas, All I Want for Christmas Is You, and Little Drummer Boy.
And no mumlin’ for me—I belch ’em out loud and proud 😉 It’s all about shamelessness, baby.
I love Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives and Santa Baby.
I love the 12 Pains of Christmas. It is a funny satirical take on the 12 Days of Christmas. The lyrics are great.
I mumble through Oh Christmas Tree. A funny song is Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. LOL!!! I really like all Christmas carols, even though I can’t sing.
I really like The Grinch sung by Boris whoever he is that sang it in the original movie. I know that is not very Christmasy but I like it anyway. I also like a lot of the traditional Christmas carols like We Three Kings, O Little Town of Bethlehem and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.
I love the sing Joy to the World but do mess that one up. I need to go look up the lyrics for it! My kids come up with some funny lyrics, too, to different songs.
I have a favorite holiday song: Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC. I play it every year!

I know it’s not traditional but it brings me joy! 🙂
My favorite Christmas song has always been White Christmas! I constantly watch the movie over the holidays!
O,Holy Night is my favorite Christmas carol, but I love almost all the classics that I grew up with. And I’ve added new favorites in more recent years, as well.
I love the batman smells version :)!
My little guys loves the alternative Rudolf the part when you add, “then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say ‘IN HIS UNDERWEAR'”
my little guys yells that part!! Its funny at home but when you are in Walmart and everyone stops to lucky its a little embarrassing LOL
