Though many places have been playing Christmas music since well before Thanksgiving, we're just now busting out our collection. We feel two weeks is about the right amount of time you need to both enjoy and get your fill of classic holiday jams.

|
DAY 1
CHRISTMAS IN HOLLIS
Run-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" samples Clarence Carter's "Back Door Santa", "Frosty the Snowman", "Jingle Bells", "Joy to the World" and features a slide whistle. Say what?
|
DAY 2
CHRISTMAS WRAPPING
From The Waitresses, "Christmas Wrapping" is a Christmas song that will get you toe-tapping for sure. It was also featured in the DreamWorks TV short, Shrek the Halls.
|
DAY 3
SANTA BRING MY BABY BACK (TO ME)
Elvis Presley's "Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me)" is a fun addition to your holiday playlist. Actually, Elvis has several songs that are worth a listen during the holiday season.
|
DAY 4
MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY
Merry Christmas Baby by Etta James is just a fun-lovin' song that's hard not to like. Its jazz swagger will have you in the mood for Christmas in no time flat. You dig?
|
DAY 5
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN
Ray Charles does a great "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" on his album, The Spirit of Christmas. The whole album is a Vinyl top pick for must-have holiday jams.
|
DAY 6
DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY
Pentatonix has some cool-sounding Christmas music and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" is one of our favorites. No words, just festive sounds to celebrate the season.
|
DAY 7
SILENT NIGHT
Kelly Clarkson, Trisha Yearwood, and Reba McEntire's "Silent Night" on Clarkson's Wrapped in Red album is simple and beautifully harmonized. What more can you ask for?
|
DAY 8
CHRISTMAS BLUES
From one of our favorite Christmas albums of all time, "Christmas Blues" from Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper is a calm and soothing to slip into the holiday spirit.
|
DAY 9
WHITE CHRISTMAS
The Drifter's White Christmas has been featured in holiday movies like Home Alone and Mixed Nuts and is an all-around great song to carol along to.
|
Day 10
I SAW MUMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS
There are several versions of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus out there but only one I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus. Amy Winehouse did it right with this classic.
|
DAY 11
I'll Be Home For Christmas
Few sing Christmas better than Barbra Streisand, and I'll Be Home For Christmas is one of her best. Be swept away with Bab's beautiful voice in this classic tune.
|
DAY 12
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
She & Him have a great sound that's perfect for the holidays. We recommend A Very She & Him Christmas to anyone looking for some great Christmas music.
|
DAY 13
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Rod Stewart delivers a silky smooth version of Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! that will have you dancing with your honey by the fire, even in 60 degree weather.
|
DAY 14
O Holy Night
There are a lot of versions of O Holy Night but Tracy Chapman's is among our favorites here at Vinyl. We hope you agree.
