Once again I faced a dilemma in selecting which version of this song to include on the list. I considered Gene Autry's' rendition. It's simple yet it captures the fun and happiness of the song. It is (dare I say?) a classic. But in the end Elvis brings too much swagger to be ignored. So swivel those hips and swing along with the King.
The list so far:
10: Here Comes Santa Claus (Elvis Presley)
11. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas (Burl Ives)
12. Christmas Time Is Here (Vince Guaraldi Trio)
13. Christmas [Baby Please Come Home] (Darlene Love)
14. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Barenaked Ladies)
15. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Judy Garland)
16. Deck the Halls (Mannheim Steamroller)
17. I'll Be Home for Christmas (Bing Crosby)
18. We Need a Little Christmas (Johnny Mathis)
19. There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays (The Carpenters)
20. Jingle Bell Rock (Buddy Helms)
21. I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus (The Jackson 5)
22. All I Want for Christmas (Mariah Carey)
23. O Holy Night (Josh Groban)
24. Santa Baby (Eartha Kitt)
25. Feliz Navidad (Jose Feliciano
