My top ten christmas songs revisited
As we were reading through old CGM posts this afternoon, we realized that this time last year we wrote a post listing our top ten favorite Christmas songs. Crazy to think that it’s been a whole year! Anyways, we thought it would be fun to compare last years list to this years and see what y’all think. Are you ready? Here. we. go! Our top ten list from 2010: 10. “Silent Night” – Josh Groban ~ Even though Josh is a little fugly, this song gives us the chills. 9. “Have A Holly Jolly Christmas” – Burl Ives ~ we remember dancing to this song as a little girl while decorating our Christmas tree. 8. “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire “- Nat King Cole ~ Nat…. is where it’s at. 7. “Silver and Gold” – Burl Ives ~ This is one of our dad’s favorite songs. Whenever this song would come on the radio, he would immediately start singing/humming along. It always brought a smile to our face. 6. “Run Rudolph Run” – Chuck Berry ~ This song reminds us of the movie Home Alone, when the family is running through the airport. Now that we stop and think, this song does make you want to run. Catchy, Chuck. Very, Catchy. 5. “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms ~Remember the scene from Mean Girls? SMACK! 4. “Most Wonderful Day Of The Year” – Burl Ives ~ Okay, we were a little mad that Glee did a cover of this song because you cannot mess with Burl Ives. But, we are warming up to the remix. This song comes from the movie, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” all time best Christmas movie EVER. 3. “All we Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey ~ When this song is playing, it calls for an immediate dance party. Period. 2. “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)” – The Chipmunks ~ “Me, we want a huuuuuula hoop”……. still cracks us up. 1. “White Christmas” – Bing Crosby ~ Need we say more… ______________________________________________________________________________ Our top ten list for 2011: 10. “Haven’t Met You Yet” – Michael Buble – Let’s face it, the man can sing and he’s good looking. What more do you want? 9. “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” – Burl Ives – we grin ear to ear every time we hear this song. 8. “O Holy Night” – Celine Dion – Yes, we realize we just put Celine Dion in our top ten, but this song will make you cry and want to hug a homeless man. 7. “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee – This song reminds of the scene in Home Alone when Kevin is trying to keep the burglars from breaking into his house. Ya know, the scene where a large cut out of Michael Jordan is put on a train so it looks like someone is walking around the house. It’s brilliant. 6. “Baby It’s Cold Outside” – She and Him – we love the new version of this song. 5. “Silver and Gold” – Burl Ives – Not only is this song a classic, but we think Apple should have gone with Burl Ives voice instead of Suri’s.
4. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” – She and Him – Just go buy the album. You’ll thank us later. 3. “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms – we think if our life had a theme song this would be it. 2. “All we Want for Christmas Is You!” – Mariah Carey – As much as we loved the Glee cover of this song, nothing compares to the original. Mariah has it going on! 1. “White Christmas” – Bing Crosby – Dude, we gotta give it to Bing. “White Christmas” is probably the greatest Christmas song of all time. What are some of your favorite Christmas songs?
