We've all heard the Christmas classics. November 1st they start playing on the radio, in retail stores, and all the Christmas movies. Things like Jingle Bells, Let it Snow, Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, etc... They play so much it's sickening.

What's your favorite alternatives to those repetitive offerings?

Here's my list.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer - a funny song about grandma drinking too much eggnog and stumbling out in the snow and getting run over by reindeer

The 12 pains of Christmas - a parody on 12 days of Christmas. 1st pain is finding a tree, 2nd rigging lights, etc...

Mary and Joseph by Tim McGraw - A country interpretation of the story of Jesus' birth, but from the perspective of Mary and Joseph.

Christmas Cookies by George Strait - a fun song about how Christmas cookies are so good that he can't stop eating them

There's a new kid in town by Chris Young - Never heard it, apparently it came out in the 80's and Chris did his own version just recently. I like the sound.

December 1943 by John Michael Montgomery - talks about how soldiers during a war find peace for a night.

Mary It's Christmas by Toby Keith - Man visits his wife's grave on Christmas and talks about their 2 year old daughter. A reminder that not every Christmas is happy.

Christmas in Heaven by Scotty Mcreery - Like the previous one, a reminder that there is also sorrow on Christmas. Everyone talks about Christmas here on Earth, but what is it like in Heaven?

"Ain't no chimneys in the projects" 1/2 funny 1/2 serious. Was a nice surprise.

The Twelve Days After Christmas


The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight
And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite
Then with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partirdge
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves
and very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The third day after Christmas, my Mother caught the croup
I had to use the three French Hens to make some chicken soup
The four calling birds were a big mistake for their language was obscene
The five golden rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green

The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay
I gave the whole darn gaggle to the A.S.P.C.A
On the seventh day, what a mess I found
all seven of the swimming swans had drowned
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect
I bundled up the eight maids a milking, nine pipers piping, ten ladies dancing, eleven lords a leaping, twelve drummers drumming (Spoken: "Well, actually, I kept ONE of the drummers" ) and sent them back collect
I wrote my true love, " We are through, love! "
And I said in so many words,
" Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds! "

Our household is all about "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" lol. They want to switch it to a Llama now since we have an LED Llama outside!

Merry Christmas Lil' Mama [chanceraps.com] is pretty much the only Christmas music I listen to, period. Re-released this year with a second CD!

It just isn't Christmas unless I hear at least the beginning part of "I am Santa Claus".

Jingle Bells by SHeDAISY -- very nice change-up from the traditional version. Love the harmonies.
