My favorite holiday songs - Day #19 - Andy Williams' "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

It's a great Christmas classic, but has some of the strangest lyrics ever. I'm sure it was really great being a part of the Williams household with dad telling scary ghost stories at Christmas. Who does that?!

I already lost my man card on Day #8 (Wham) so I have no shame in listing this Mariah Carey song today. It's a great song. Period.

My favorite holiday songs - Day #17 - Bing Crosby's "Mele Kilikimaka"

Bing Crosby is Mr. Chrsitmas and this is a song defined by him. Most remember the song from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -- the pool scene no less.

My favorite holiday songs - Day #15 - Ray Charles' "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer"

This might be the first Christmas song kids learn. And though Gene Autry's version is tough to beat, I like Ray Charles' jazzy approach to the tune.

My favorite holiday songs - Day #12 - Dean Martin's "Baby It's Cold Outside"

This may not qualify as a true holiday song, but the season lends itself nicely. The lyrics are simply phenomenal. If you ever do any karaoke at Christmas, this is a crowd winner.

Both men and women can relate to this song. . . but I'm sure each have their own response.

My favorite holiday songs - Day #11 - Leon Redbone and Dr. John's "Frosty the Snowman"

Leon Redbone's and Dr. John's sounds go perfectly together for this holiday classic. It gives me chills because it was my father's favorite version of the song, so we listened to it all the time growing up.
