This Jew's Top Five Favorite Christmas Songs - Part II


A lot has changed over the past year with regards to my taste in Christmas songs. Last year top five looked like this:

 So what is this Jew's #1 favorite Christmas song? Its The King singing "Blue Christmas". Even though its not true -

Andy Williams comes in at #2 with "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Guys can't have all the fun.

#3 belongs to Earth Kitt with "Santa Baby".

 #4 is an obscure oldie and I have no idea why snow/cold equals Christmas but my pick for #4 is "Baby Its Cold Outside" by Pearl Bailey and Hot Lips Page. You can take all your other versions and shove them. This is how the song is meant to be sung.

 I don't even hear #5 anymore. The last spot belongs to RUN DMC'S "Christmas in Hollis". Fuck Yeah, that's how you rock Christmas



 This year we have some newcomers to the list. My new top 5 looks like this:
 #1 "Last Christmas" by Wham. Is it gay? Very. Especially the whispering of "Merry Christmas". Regardless, I like it.

#2 "Little St. Nick". I think I like it because its like 90 seconds long. Sometimes that's all I can take of a Christmas song.

#3 "This Christmas" by Donnie Hathaway. Its one of the only Christmas songs with soul for G-D Sake.

#4 Still making the list this year...Elvis with "Blue Christmas".

#5 Rounding out the list is Andy Williams with "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". Its a classic.
