Come mid-November, the stores are decorated to the extreme with Christmas trees and the Christmas albums are on repeat. I almost feel sorry for the workers who have to hear the same songs over and over again, but then again, I love Christmas music! There is nothing better than being at a Christmas party with some Bing Crosby in the back as we mingle over eggnog and homemade treats (although I don't particularly care for the nog). Some people can't stand the tunes, which I have no idea why, but I can tell you that there is something about Bing Crosby's White Christmas that is almost calming. It's almost like when you hear that song being sung, the whole place gets quiet and you simply listen--just like something out of a movie (but that could be because it actually happened in the movie, White Christmas).
So, without further ado, here are the Top 10 Holiday Tunes, according to Contact Music:
1. White Christmas by Bing Crosby (told you it was a classic)
2. Do they Know it's Christmas Time by Band-Aid
3. The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
4. Blue Christmas by Elvis
5. Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade
6. Winter Wonderland by Doris Day
7. Last Christmas by Wham!
8. Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! by Dean Martin
9. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by anyone (tons of artists have done a cover of this one)
10. Peace on Earth by Bing Crosby and David Bowie
Now, no list is perfect, I mean Andy Williams, Happy Holidays/It's the Holiday Season didn't make the list and that is my favorite of all, but there are simply too many to count and the songs are all just too good!
