Which I think is funny, because a lot of Christmas music is so ridiculously cheesy, and that's the exact reason that I don't usually care for patriotic music. I took this quiz that Amy Bunch had on her blog and got a 96% (only missed one). See how you do and post your score in the comments section.
So like I said, I love Christmas music, and not just the stuff about Christ's birth...I love it all! I was going to do a top "something" list of my favorite Christmas songs, but decided that would be too hard because I like different songs for different reasons. In fact, there are certain artist's versions of songs that I like a lot, and the actual Christmas song is not one of my favorites usually. Anyway, I am going to post four different lists over the coming week--My favorite secular fun Christmas songs, my favorite ridiculously sappy, sentimental Christmas songs, my favorite Christmas songs that aren't really Christmas songs, and finally, my Christmas songs that celebrate the birth of Christ.
So...to start off with (in no particular order)...
My favorite Secular Fun Christmas songs
Jingle Bells (SHeDaisy version) - SHeDaisy is supposed to be a country group, but they sound more like a secular Point of Grace (with one less person). Their Christmas CD is one of my favorites. I couldn't find their Jingle Bells on YouTube, but I did find their version of Deck the Halls which is so unbelievably corny, but fun!
Carol of the Bells (Mannheim Steamroller) - I have always love this Christmas song and it sounds amazing in this version.
Twas Da Nite (Take 6) - Okay...I admit that this one is one I grew up hearing and love simply for that reason! Unfortunately I couldn't find a video for this one, so you'll have to look it up on Amazon.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Point of Grace version) - Here is an example of a Christmas song that usually is not on my favorites list (I like it okay, just not a favorite), but I LOVE the Point of Grace version of it...couldn't find it on YouTube either...
Santa Baby - I probably should find this song too stupid to like, but it always makes me smile. It took me forever to find a video to put with this one, because it seems to be a rule when you sing this song that you have to wear a short santa dress with a santa hat and shake a lot.
