Most times I find newer Christmas songs leave much to be desired. Like to see what Christmas songs you like that are less than 50 years old?
“Christmas Wrapping” by the Waitresses. It’s funny. Circa 1980.
One Small Child, I prefer the Justin Unger version.
“Mary, Did You Know”? by Wynonna Ryder and Kenny Rodgers.....and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas”!!
These two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUrWFBfz3SM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYO8mrsgw9g&t=1s
Also Anthem For Christmas and All is Well by Michael W Smith.
I hate rock/pop/jazz Christmas songs, but for some reason I always liked hearing that one!
“There’s something stuck up the chimney and we don’t know what it is”
“Mary, Did You Know” by...pretty much anybody, though my favorite cover is Kathy Mattea. “No Eye Had Seen” by Michael W. Smith with help from Amy Grant, or possibly the other way around. :) And Michael W. Smith’s arrangement of “Gloria In Excelsis” if that counts.
“Christmas Cannon” by Manheimm Steamroller
