Busy working day tomorrow and it’s late so this one is going to be a bit shorter than I want.
My all time favorite Christmas tune is Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives. NOT Michael Bublé. Sorry fans. Just don’t like his version.
Actually, the only two Christmas songs I really do not like are the one mentioned above and Taylor Swift’s version of Last Christmas. The Wham! version is fine and you may or may not find me singing along with it.
My Top 5 Christmas Tunes:
- Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives
- The Christmas Song by Nat “King” Cole
- Do You Hear What I Hear by Carrie Underwood (this is a remake that I actually like and prefer)
- Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano
- Sleigh Ride (instrumental or with the lyrics)
Number 6 bonus tune:
Have to hear Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogel at least once during the holiday season and have a bit of a cry. Plenty of other crying songs out there, I just like this one.
Other Thoughts on the Music Before I Finish This Post:
I actually really enjoy instrumental Christmas tunes this time of year as I find them calming and peaceful.
And if you’re wondering, the preschool kids LOVE Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer…I’ll be hearing those tunes well into February most likely.
Sorry to not share links to my songs in this short post, you’ll have to do your own googling.

Love this, my friend! I love Burl Ives! His voice is Christmas to me. I also love Silver Bells! I love having the relaxing Christmas instrumental on too. It is so peaceful. Happy Christmas season!
I just hear Silver Bells on the radio in the car last night! Such a great classic. We play instrumental Christmas for the kids during worktime at school during the holidays. I found I enjoy it at home as I go about things as well. Hope you have a Happy & peaceful Christmas season as well!
I LOVE this list! I often listen to Mannheim Steamroller for instrumentals while I’m working around the house. I hope the preschoolers choose a new song this year LOL but won’t be surprised if they don’t.
Already heard a few choruses of Jingle Bells yesterday, ha! It’s okay singing kids are happy kids 🙂
