It's that time of the year again. Get ready, if you so choose, to put up the Christmas tree, hang some stockings and listen to Christmas music 24/7. Here's a list of the top 11 Christmas songs to put you in the holiday spirit.

1. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"

If you don't visualize Jim Carey as the grinch spinning around on a swing while he is preparing to steal Christmas, then you're doing it wrong.

2. "Jingle Bell Rock"

Two words: Mean Girls.

3. "Carol of the Bells"

Okay so this song may be instrumental but that doesn't mean you can't sing along.

4. "Baby It's Cold Outside"

There are various versions of this song but Zooey Deschanel and (sort of) Will Ferrell's is by far the best.

5. "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

Thank you, Mariah, thank you.

6. "Last Christmas"

Wham!

7. "Santa Baby"

Fun fact: Eartha Kitt was also the voice of Yzma in Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove."

8. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

This also goes along with driving past radio towers as kids, seeing the blinking red light and thinking Santa will skip your house if you don't get home soon.

9. "I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas"

If you haven't heard this song look it up now.

10. "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"

Jackson 5 did it best.

11. "The Christmas Song"

How could we forget this one? The words "Christmas" and "song" are actually in the title.
