It’s never too early in the season to argue about Christmas songs. CMT has a couple of lists to get us in the fighting spirit. One is the Top Five classics that are supposedly SO good, not even the biggest Scrooge can get sick of them.
They are: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock”, Burl Ives’ “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas”, and Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”.
This Top Five “gets thrown the most shade”: Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad”, The Singing Dogs’ “Jingle Bells”, The Beach Boys’ “The Man with All the Toys”, Barbra Streisand’s “Jingle Bells”, and Gayla Peevey’s “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”.
