Every single year, my family, like many others, adores when the radio begins to play Christmas music. Every time I get in the car, I put the station on (regardless of if it's still early November or not). It's never to early for Christmas music! Here is the list of the top 10 best Christmas songs to help you ring in the holidays.

1. Christmas Is Here, Vince Guaraldi Trio

This song is featured in one of my favorite Christmas movies, a Charlie Brown Christmas. The song is from 1965.

2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, various artists

This song is sang by so many different artists that it was hard to track down who sang it first! Wikipedia states the following, "The earliest known recorded version of the song was by banjoist Harry Reser and his band on October 24, 1934."

The oldest recorded version I could find was Frank Sinatra in 1948. Here is a link to the song.
