12 Days of Christmas
Starting Thursday we’re going to be kicking off The Twelve Days of Christmas, featuring 12 of our favorite holiday inspired songs. Some you may know, and some you may not. But, before we begin the yuletide fun, we’d love to know…. which holiday songs do you love (or not love)?

Nobody should ever sing "Santa Baby" ever again. Every version since Eartha Kitt's has come off as cheap and tawdry.
Rob Halford however has just released a kick ass collection of holiday hits.
Sorry Joaquim Ive got a soft spot for the Britney Spears rendition of Santa Baby. It’s the one I heard first.
how many versions for "Santa baby" we got?
As far as I know, I am the only person in the world who loves "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney.
I bet you are...
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues.
"Last Christmas" by Wham!
White Christmas, Irving Berlin. I think one of the best songs ever written, Christmas or otherwise. Genius.
ALL of these people have done cover versions of "Santa Baby"
Natalie Merchant
Taylor Swift
RuPaul
Kylie Minogue
Shakira
Madonna
LeAnn Rimes
Macy Gray
The Pussycat Dolls
Kellie Pickler
Calista Flockhart
and Miss Piggy
I like This Holiday Season by Porn Orchard. A bit dreary, but still a fave.

Funny you should ask cuz while making Christmas comps recently I thought "Tullycraft could make a swell Christmas album..." One that wasn't tongue-in-cheek or full of holiday hate or thoughtless knock offs of standards. (I bet you could make tens, even dozens of dollars!)
I agree with Harry above: "Wonderful Christmastime" by Wings is one of the best big pop Xmas tunes. I've never got why people hated it so much.
A somewhat smaller pop favorite is "25th December" by Everything But The Girl. It's not particularly Christmassy but feels like sitting on the couch late Christmas night after everyone else has gone to bed, staring at the Christmas tree and feeling the weight of silence after a noisy day of festivities.
