This song will never be at the top of my list of favorite Christmas songs, but I do love it very much and to me, there would most definitely be an unfilled in blank if I didn’t hear it at least once during Christmas time. Go [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIdnYAkqSes) for the video that was made for “Leroy The Redneck Reindeer” from country singer Joe Diffie. 🙂 🙂 🙂 God bless you and him always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Holly ---

Oh man…when I hear ol Bruce Springsteen’s gravelly old voice come on the radio and sing Santa Clause is Coming to Town…oh man…thats where its at. And I normally don’t get into the Christmas spirit, but holy crap does that song just hit home for me. Exact same thing happens with Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War is Over) ---

**"O Holy Night"** the Mariah Carey version will do nicely. B side - **“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”** by whomever. ---

For me, it’s not Christmas season until I have to frantically turn the radio away from the awful crooning of _Christmas Shoes_. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > “[Christmas Wrapping](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SzjDOk_u9I)” by the Waitresses. I was at a bar/restaurant last Friday, and the background sound system was playing a somewhat familiar tune. I had to strain to pick out the words, over the noise in the building. It was “Christmas Wrapping,” but it was a _cover_. How can anybody cover perfection? Heresy, that’s what it was. I have no idea who was singing it, or what vile pit of iniquity the recording came from. I was too shocked to discover anyone other than The Waitresses had ever recorded that song. So, yeah. That’s a good one. Also “Carol of the Bells” says it’s Christmastime, to me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-now-its-christmas-song/643620.md?page=2)
