Holiday Songs (and a Victoria’s Secret Gift Card!) Back to Blog

Update:  Now you’ve got me humming…thanks for sharing your holiday tunes! The winner of the $25 Victoria’s Secret gift card is…Cindi C! Congrats!

We’ve talked movies, shared some great recipes, even gone down under for the holiday…but what about the songs? You know, those holiday tunes that just get stuck in your head?  We’ve already got a radio station down here playing 24/7 holiday music. Even when I sleep, I feel like I hear that music.  Going on and on…

There are some holiday songs that I love. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Classic!

And Jingle Bells?  Of course! Love it! Even though my six-year-old requests that we always sing this version:

Jingle bells, Batman smells

Robin laid an egg

The batmobile lost its wheel

And the Joker got away. Hey!

 

There are some songs—and I confess this with shame—that I always mess up when I sing. I can’t remember the exact lyrics, so I kind of mutter my way through the song. Yeah, I’m thinking 12 Days of Christmas. By day 4, I’m lost.

What about you? What songs do you love? What songs do you—ahem—mumble along to b/c you’re like me and you just can’t remember the words?

The prize up for grabs this time is a $25 Victoria’s Secret gift card.  Good luck!

    My favorite is O Holy Night and for some reason that I haven’t figured out yet, Silent Night just makes me cry. I can’t even sing it because I’m sobbing so hard!

  2. Chelsea B. says:

    Santa Baby 😉

  3. Nareh says:

    Santa Baby is great although I have to admit that I love pretty much all of them.

  4. Jacki C says:

    I L-O-V-E “Oh Holy Night”. There is just something about the tune that I love to sing.

  5. Sherry says:

    I love White Christmas. and also love I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus.

  6. I love Rudolph,White Christmas, and Jingle Bells. I can’t remember all of the Twelve Days of Christmas, either.

  7. Jessica Hale says:

    My favorites would be Silent Night and Do you hear what i hear

  8. Jeannie Platt says:

    I love silver bells and Angels we have heard on high are two of my favorites… One that is considered a christmas song that i like is Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton… It is just a great song… I really don’t have issues with music but i agree getting through the 12 days of christmas can be tricky especially when you forget what number your on.

  9. bn100 says:

    I like Jingle Bells.

  10. Kristine says:

    Rocking around the christmas tree is my all time favorite because you can’t have a true christmas with out a tree. But Silent Night comes in second because I always feel to cry when I hear or sing it.

  11. Timitra says:

    It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas is one of my favs!

  12. The Warrior says:

    love love Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth by David Bowie and Bing Crosby

  13. Taz says:

    Jingle Bells and White Christmas, can’t stop humming them during the season, especially while Christmas shopping at the mall!

  14. May says:

    I do love 12 days of Christmas… Also enjoy Winter Wonderland…

  15. Cindi C says:

    I sing a choir so some of my choices are a bit different. I love “Gentle Mary, Tender Mary” by Jay Althouse.

  16. carla says:

    “I fatted on Santa’s lap ” by the little stinkers. Lug it. Lol

  17. carla says:

    Misspelled on prior. I farted on Santa’s lap by the little stinkers.

  18. JessS says:

    I can’t remember most of the words, so I’d definitely be mumbling them along too. And I like Jingle Bells, mostly because we used to sing the “wrong” version as kids.

  19. Barbara Zia says:

    I love little Drummer Boy & Every body’s home for Christmas!

  20. Ann S. says:

    I love the 12 Days of Christmas, especially the 5 golden rings. I always remember hearing that while we decorated our tree when I was a kid. My Mom was in charge of the lights, but my brother and I were in charge of the ornaments. My Dad was in charge of the tree stand, so he got to sit and watch. I still sing the 12 Days when I wrap gifts, unfortunately most of the lyrics are wrong, lol

  21. Caila F. says:

    Santa Baby is my fav!

  22. Blue Christmas by Elvis from the christmas show The Year Without a Santa Claus is my absolute favorite xmas song. i also love anything from TSO and could probably listen to xmas songs year around me but my family might disown me LOL.

  23. PamM says:

    Merry Christmas From the Family by Mongomery Gentry. I love this song and it suits what my family get togethers seem like.

  24. Tiffany K says:

    I love Winter Wonderland and Frosty the Snowman. I’ll admit though once December gets here the radio stays on a station that only plays Christmas music and I enjoy them all.

  25. Sheryl says:

    There is something about Josh Groban singing O Holy Night. WOW! I also love all of Elvis Presley’s Christmas songs, I guess it reminds me of my childhood.

  26. Meg G. says:

    I love Baby It’s Cold Outside this time of year. Such a cute song. Thanks for the giveaway!

    All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey 🙂

  44. Shannon says:

    I know the last person wrote it too but All I Want for Christmas is You the Mariah Carey version is my guilty pleasure. I really tend to hate christmas music (I know bah humbug) but when that song comes on the radio I crank it up and belt it out =)

  45. valerie mcqueen says:

    While there is several that I love …my daughter and I started doing the 12 ghetto days of Christmas to the 12 days of Christmas a few years we make it up as we go along and it is too Much fun

  46. Mel K. says:

    My favorite Christmas carol is OH, HOLY NIGHT. I get lost in 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS too. Hmm…though I can’t forget…”5 GOLDEN RINGS!….” 🙂

  47. Texas Book Lover says:

    Christmas music only gets played when setting up the tree and decorations at my house. However I love to put on the music at my in laws while decorating their tree. My MIL has so many wonderful Christmas albums from Elvis to George Straight and lots in between. It usually takes us all day so we get a wide variety. Picking a favorite song is about like picking a favorite book…not happening.

  48. Mina Khan says:

    I love Jingle Bells too…but my version goes like:

    Genie bells, genie bells
    Genie all the way
    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    A Genie all daaaaay!

    Yeah, you know I’m partial to my genies 😉

    Congrats on the release & a great party!

  50. Heather M says:

    I am horrible with Christmas songs and lullabies and so on. My kids were sung the ABC so many times because that is the only one I knew the words to. LMAO
