10 of the Greatest Christmas Songs of All Time
It's Christmas Eve and Santa Clause in coming to town tonight. Eveybody has their favorite Christmas Songs and I wanted to share 10 of my favorites with you.
I have more that 10 favorites but I don't want to go overboard, I hope these 10 are not too many.
This crazy song by Ray Stevens has been one of my favorites for a long time. If your kids have never heard it please share it with them.
Ray Stevens - Santa Claus Is Watching You (1962)
Here's another one I grew up on by Charles Brown, it's been recorded by many great artists.
Charles Brown - Please Come Home For Christmas
It just wouldn't seem like Christmas without hearing this one by Bobby Helms.
Bobby Helms-Jingle Bell Rock
I remember having my first record play and my sister bought an Alvin and the Chipmunks album for me. It was a 33RPM and the biggest record i had ever seen.

Grew up on this one too by Brenda Lee.

I remember hearing this one by Burl Ives on Captain Kangaroo.

This version of Blue Christmas is from the Elvis TV Special back in 1968.

Gene Autry recorded this one before I was born but I still like it best.

This one by Alabama came out right about the time that I got into radio.

This one came out just a few years after I got into radio and Vince Vance used to call every year to promote it and I enjoyed doing those interviews with him.
