Teyana Taylor who has a great voice gives it a Christmas feel, then Ye starts rapping about buying presents last minute and it makes me laugh every time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4 Here Comes Santa Claus- Elvis Presley\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elvis is on the same level as Bing Crosby with Christmas music except Elvis wasn\u2019t a horrible person. In this rendition of \u201cHCSC,\u201d Elvis sings in his classic rockabilly style we all know him for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3 Let it, Snow! Let it, Snow! Let it, Snow! &#8211; Vaughn Monroe\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, the Vaughn Monroe version. It\u2019s less known than the Frank Sinatra version but Monroe\u2019s version has a better intro- plus this version has more of that semi-depressing ghostly Christmas sound\u2026 if you\u2019re into that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2 Last Christmas- Wham!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a tough call not putting this song at number 1 since I listen to it year-round without shame. You know you did a Christmas song right if it\u2019s your most famous song as a pop music duo. Extra points because it\u2019s heavily (and cleverly) associated with one of my favorite Christmas movies: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Christmas with Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1 Sleigh Ride- Leroy Anderson<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I say except to state that this song is quintessential? I\u2019m one of those people who starts humming Christmas songs around mid-November. The part where the guy slaps the woodblocks in the procession is iconic and has been stuck in my head for weeks now, no complaints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chamberlain Zulauf #5 Christmas in Harlem- Ye If Die Hard counts as a Christmas movie then Kanye deserves a spot.
