When we are decorating the house for Christmas, we like to play tunes to put us in the Holiday mood. I am kind of particular and only like certain versions in certain voices! So, I have done the research for you to help you build your Christmas Songs list from my favorites below!
I spent hours looking for the best version of the best Christmas songs of all time! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do… Merry Christmas! As you flip through the list and the versions I prefer, I think it will be very obvious that I was a child of the 80s in the South. LOL!
So, this list is not just different versions, there are 50 different Christmas songs here perfect for your Christmas Cookie Exchange or Christmas Party!
Here is the Best Christmas Songs List of All Time! (50 awesome hits):
