Any Christmas song list without “Christmas at Kmart” by Root Boy Slim in the top 10 just can’t be taken seriously.

[Nifster]

must just be me but I didn’t see anything resembling a ‘carol’ in the whole list.....

my favorite is and always has been O Come O Come Emmanuel

[fhayek]

**holding hands over ears** Make it stop, please God, make it stop!

[Argus]

Christmas At The Jersey Lily Lounge by Moe Bandy, and Daddy’s Drinkin’ Up Our Christmas by Commander Cody are pretty good.

[Revolting cat!]

Nor is one without Merry Twistmas by the Marcels!

[Revolting cat!]

And where is Christmas Island by (cover) Leon Redbone?

[Boojum]

From someone who once owned a store in a mall, the worst song ever recorded is “Holly Jolly Christmas.” Play it every ten minutes. Pure torture.

[Revolting cat!]

Excuse me, where is Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis, by Tom Waits.

[stylin19a]

shame...no “I’ll be home For Christmas”

[KTM rider]

None of those songs would make my top 100 list

they did a pretty good job of bumping Jesus off the list , cant get any more secular than that

my favorite is Oh holy night

you'd think Silent Night or Joy to the World would at least get a mention

[Mozilla]

The list was just top Christmas songs. They have another one for more traditional tunes.

[Clay Moore]

Merry Christmas From the Family
Robert Earl Keen

[FlingWingFlyer]

They probably just missed it. ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ - Vince Vance & the Valiants

[basil]

That was the first thing I noticed, too.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe if they’d gone with Merry Christmas Baby as recorded by Charles Brown insteada Otis Redding, the song woulda placed higher than 98.

[a fool in paradise]

No Slade “Merry Christmas Everybody”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A8KT365wlA

No Kinks “Father Christmas”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-oVPVsCqs4

[Bratch]

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Frank Sinatra

No offense to the Chairman, but Judy Garland's is the definitive version, IMO.

[Revolting cat!]

El Vez and his Lovely Elvettes Feliz Navidad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IVD8pul1iis&list=PLJ6D_PQtF5r5SCA2LbOSbnpi7JSXKqxkm

[ConservativeStatement]

Frank Sinatra - O Little Town Of Bethlehem (1948)
