Last holiday List

3 Favorite Christmas Songs.....but first....some explanation.

My favorite Christmas song is Santa Claus is Coming to Town done by Bruce Springsteen, but I'm not going to list it.
Why?
Because it's not fair to everybody else. Springsteen wins all my favorite anything music stuff. He's the man. It's just understood he would be at the top of the list. It's like you have to retire him from consideration just so everyone else can have a shot.
It's the same reason when all time top 10 sports players are listed, they don't say "Jesus".
Jesus would've been the best football player ever but you just assume everybody knows that and don't put him on the list.

Now, to the list.......

1. White Christmas Makes Me Blue by Randy Travis. This song is so sad it will make a dog cry and your roof leak.
2. White Christmas by Clyde McPhatter. Great take on a classic, especially the falsetto in the middle.
3. Santa Claus is back in Town by Elvis or Dwight Yoakam, it doesn't matter.

Honorable Mention:
Merry Christmas, Darling by the Carpenters
Run,Run, Rudolph by Bryan Adams
Great Big Sled by The Killers

...and the winner in the "You need to see the Video to appreciate it in all its bizarre-ness" goes to
The Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. YouTube it.

Merry Christmas!
