  1. Good List! I would add "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" to mine. And what's that Peanuts' song that Linus plays?

  2. I like that you made a point to let us know you like the "Die Hard" version of Let it Snow. HA. Great list, I was worried about one song...but luckily it made it...#9 who doesn't love a Christmas song about a HIPPO!
