Christmas time is finally here and with it comes, perhaps the best part, the music. You have your classics, your new and modern hits, and your unknown or forgotten jewels. I'm here to remind you of those unknown and forgotten jewels.

1. Merry Christmas To You by Sidewalk Prophets

Honestly, just listen to this whole album. You won't regret it.

2. What Is Christmas? by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This is another one where you really should listen to the whole album. The whole of all of their albums.

3. Cherry Cherry Christmas by Neil Diamond

It's not Christmas at our house unless we listen to Neil Diamond. Try to spot his references to some of his other songs in here.

4. Thank God It's Christmas by Queen

I mean, it's Queen. How can you go wrong with them?

5. Someone is Missing at Christmas by Anne Cochran

For anyone who needs it. Warning: you will cry.

6. O Holy Night by Scotty McCreery

My roommate wouldn't let me post this without this song on here. She says it's "the voice of God".

7. Jingle Bells by James Taylor

I know you're probably shaking your head and thinking, "Seriously? Jingle Bells?" Just trust me and give it a chance.

8. Let It Be Christmas by Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson is another staple at our house and this song is my favorite from his album.

9. You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Neil Diamond

Did I mention that I love Neil Diamond? Yeah, that's why he's on here twice. This is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs.

10. I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas by Gayle Peevey

Am I adding this mainly because it was my favorite Christmas song as a kid? Yes, yes I am.

11. Little Drummer Boy by Mannheim Steamroller

A beautiful instrumental that more people need to hear.

12. The 12 Days Of Christmas by Straight No Chaser

This song is lit. There's no better way to describe it. Brace yourself.
