Christmas Countdown: Favorite Christmas Songs

As I've told yall already, I LOVE Christmas.  The day after Thanksgiving, I unleash the Holiday playlist on my iPhone & I rock out until Dec. 25.  There are definitely Christmas classics that everyone knows:

1. Mariah Carey Merry Christmas is undoubtedly the best Christmas album ever
2. Anything by the Temptations & Jackson 5.  What can I say, they're legends
3. Donny Hathaway "This Christmas" is one of the most amazing songs ever written!
4. The Preacher's Wife Soundtrack.  What can I say, pre-crack Whitney was pretty damn great.
5. Chuck Brown "Merry Christmas Baby" for my DMV heads

And then there are some new jams that I think are instant classics.

Best version of "This Christmas": Chris Brown

  

Best Half on a Baby Christmas Song: Justin Bieber "Christmas Eve"
