My Top 10 Favorite Christmas/Holiday Songs

It's that time of year again (my sister's favorite time of year, actually) when as soon as we turn on our radios we are bombarded with Christmas/Holiday music 24/7. (And I'm lying about my sister, she loathes radio stations this time of year.)

While I love the Christmas season, the music can get a bit much. After all, there are only so many holiday songs and there are only so many versions of each song that can be done. Yet, we hear them all, several times, between Black Friday and Christmas Day. I figure, between these two days, I could potentially listen to 1120 holiday songs and I probably would not hear much of a variety.

(How'd I get that number? Well, this year there are 28 days from Black Friday to Christmas Day, so that's 672 hours of air time for one radio station. On average, I'll say each song is 3 minutes long, so that's 224 songs played in that time. If half of my pre-programed stations (5 out of 10) play nothing by Holiday music, then that's 1120 songs.)

Okay, so moving on...Despite the fact that I do get a bit tired of hearing so much Christmas music, I'm not Scrooge and there are some tunes that I do love. So here's my list of my Top 10 Favorite Christmas/Holiday Songs.
