This is a great album and I listened to it today. “twinkle Little Christmas Lights” is not on this album but another great song by JD.
Dude is way underrated.
It ain't a Christmas song, but this is one of the better guitar intros in Rock...
U beat me to it.
but some others…
Lindsey Stirling. “Carol of the bells” and “ dance of the sugar plum fairy”
For king and country “little drummer boy”
Pentatonix. “ hallelujah” and already mentioned “ Mary did you know”
Mercy Me “oh holy ni
Nat king Cole. “The Christmas song”
Bob Dylan. “Must be Santa”
Politics first of all.
I watched his Broadway show on Netflix a few years back and about the first thing he says, and I am paraphrasing, that people ask him how he wrote all those songs about the plight of working men and factories etc. He pauses and then says "I made it up! I never worked a day in my life." I go okay a real honest answer. Then he goes back into that "blue collar " mindset and he is so far removed from being blue collar. Just found it to be kinda hypocritical.
Also some things he did to the E Street band. He gets inducted into the R&R HOF in 1990 as a solo artist. The E Street band finally goes in in 2014. Probably should have been the other way around. I know he does all the writing etc, but I felt he did them a little dirty and should have spoke up for them way earlier.

The Drifters - White Christmas is another one I have to play each year.
Lot of good stuff in this thread. Some new to me that I'll have to check out later, but I can't believe it's gone 2 pages without this:
ETA: It's a 20 year old song at this point. Mind blown.

I need to stop agreeing with BOTH of you ********
Never had seen/heard that rendition of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Outstanding--thanks for posting!
Good one. The Bing and Andrew Sisters version of Jingle Bells is my kids favorite Christmas song every year.
You know how you listen to songs but really don’t pay attention to lyrics until later in life? I heard the lyric “some pumpkin pie” as “some 17’ing pie”. I thought Brenda Lee ain’t playing around.
Plus it's featured in the greatest Christmas movie, so there's that.
For a traditional Christmas song it's this one. Dude has a gift and gives it all he has for sure.
I am in the process of making up a false but believable claim that copyrights have been infringed on several Christmas songs, and they will receive a cease and desist as I keep this case in courts for 50 years and in appeals
1) All I Want for Christmas - Mariah Carey
2) Last Christmas - George Michaels
3) Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney
*ahem*....it's called "selling out"
As for the ESB, read his autobiography. There is no "I" in team, but in Bruce's world, there is an "M" and an "E"

I never appreciated this song as a kid, and it is prominently featured in Home Alone so I thought I would have. Now that I am full grown Devil I tend to appreciate things I never really understood. This song sums up Christmas for me in every possible way.
