top 6 holiday songs for your christmas playlist
It's that time of year again; the presents are being bought, the food prepared, and the adults are at their wits ends. I know the holidays can be stressful, but knowing you'll see the joy in your family's eyes when Christmas day comes helps push us through! That and a lot of booze. No shame! Whether you are trying to turn your home into the brightest on the block or are just cuddling up next to your cat with some hot chocolate, I wanted to make sure you had some new songs added to that playlist of yours. So here are my top 8 songs I recommend for this holiday season.
1. JEFF FOXWORTHY - 12 REDNECK DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
Growing up in a redneck family, I fell in love with this song the first time I ever heard it. So, If you love the comedy of the Redneck King himself, Jeff Foxworthy, then look no further for the perfect Christmas song. "The 12 Redneck Days of Christmas" will be sure to put a smile on you and your family's faces.
2. Linda Bennet - Old Fashion Christmas
Who doesn't like a story with a twist? The first time I heard Linda Bennet's "Old Fashion Christmas," I smiled, cried, and laughed. So, if you like roller coasters and dark jokes, this one is for you.
3. ALEX TERRIBLE - ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU (COVER)
For all my metal heads out there, I know we have all heard this song in every nook and cranny, but I guarantee you have never heard it like this. This man, Alex Terrible, does the BEST cover of her song I have ever heard! So crank the volume and rock out to his version of "All I Want for Christmas is You."
4. GEORGE STRAIGHT - CHRISTMAS COOKIES
Who doesn't love sweets? George Straight will have you feeling nostalgic and warm with his song "Christmas Cookies." So grab some egg nog, hold the hand of your loved one, and dance the night away to this Christmas tune.
5. JIMMY BUFFET - CHRISTMAS ISLAND
For those of you who dream of getting away for Christmas and enjoying the island life, this is the song for you. Jimmy Buffet's "Christmas Island" will help you take away those Christmas blues and let you dream of Santa in a canoe.
6. TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA – CHRISTMAS EVE/SARAJEVO 12/24
If you have never heard of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, you must check them out! One of the greatest Christmas rock bands of all time! This song will have you feeling happy and wanting to party!
I hope these songs help you feel the season's joy. So sit back, grab some hot cocoa, and jam out to all your favorite Christmas songs.
