It's easier to name the ones we don't hate.
Generally, the best Christmas music is jazz 🎅

Yep! It certainly makes for a shorter list, Hope !
Thanks to Marie Monday, who introduced me to Cristina, I'll be getting maudlin over Christmas with
Things Fall Apart:-
This one was great. Love it.
Couldn't decide which of these two I think of most around Xmas time:
^Of the two, I like Chris Rea better 🙂
This song always gets me in a festive mood, and makes me nostalgic for when every trailer for a Christmas comedy/family film in the 90s and 2000s used it.

^ I was going to call you out on this one, Guybrush, because although they sing about jingle-jangle, they're talking about cowboy spurs, not Christmas. :rage:
Then I decided the smart move was to use your song as an excuse to post another song, not really about Christmas, but very much Christmas Mood Adjacent:-
My favorite Christmas song.
Low - "Just Like Christmas"

It's a fair cop 😄 I actually suspected it wasn't a Christmas song because I didn't really know or hear it in a Christmas setting when I first noticed it. However, its mood is kinda Christmasy still so it's been in a Christmas jazz playlist here for a few years now, so.. locally (inside our house) it is a Christmas song 😄
Edit:
Hey, that's a nice Van Morrison song. And chestnuts roasting outside? That's definitely Christmas mood.
^ :laughing: well that's as good an explanation as any, Guybrush,and as you say there is a kind of Christmassy sound to it.

^ That song starts so well, ISB, but I felt like they could've done more with its second half.
@DJChameleon That Lil Jon song is one of my favorite things ever.
I'm gonna add that to the party playlist for today's festivities. In most situations I'd be more considerate of the fact that most of the guests are 65+ boomers who probably won't appreciate it, but eff it, this is my house, my rules! :laughing:

I just stumbled across it this year and it's like 5 years old but I love it so. Yes, you need to play it while serving Kool-Aid!
Some of the best Christmas music comes from soundtracks 🙂
