christmas tunes

It surely is the holiday season, isn’t it? Stores are crowded, houses and areas are decked out in lights and the sounds of Christmas music fills many radio stations.

I’m a fan of Christmas music. It’s a good way to get into the spirit of the season, that’s for sure. And with the lack of snow in my area (not complaining), the music is the best way to feel like it’s the Christmas season.

With that in mind, I thought I’d share my personal favorite tunes of the season.

I did a post like this back in 2012 (https://hoohaa.com/?p=5077) as well, but things have changed slightly. Not a ton, but a little. So I wanted to share the new thoughts.

Plus, it never hurts to spread some good holiday cheer, does it?

So, here are some of my current holiday favorites to bring the cheer into the season. I’m only putting four here as I thought it would be a good way to get a few tunes out there. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments below!

1. Holly Jolly Christmas

This is my all-time favorite Christmas song, without a doubt. The Burl Ives version is the best, in my eyes, but I also enjoy other versions such as Michael Buble and Lady Antebellum. The Burl Ives version is below.

2. All I want for Christmas is you

Come on … it’s Mariah Carey. I can’t imagine any guy not thinking it would be awesome for her to sing this to him! Plus, it’s probably the best “modern” Christmas song out there.

3. Santa Claus is coming to town

This has quickly jumped up on my list because of the Andrea Bocelli version of the song. Bocelli is a musical genius as it is, but this version he does with a kids’ choir is simply amazing.

4. Feliz Navidad

Upbeat, fun and a great way to get into the holiday mood, Feliz Navidad should be on every Christmas playlist!
