I really enjoy Merry Christmas Strait to You by George Strait and All I Want For Christmas is You by Vince Vance & the Valiants with Lisa Layne doing vocals. All I Want For Christmas is You is as simple, sweet, charming as you can get out of a Christmas song. Add onto that it has a great 50′s doo-wop meets country beat behind it. I think that song should have made the list for certain. George Strait’s maybe not as much though.

Thanks, Leeann. I’ve visited the site a handful of times over the last few months and have left sporadic comments. I also take Dan’s quiz every Wednesday but this is the first time I actually started to explore the site. And once I started surfing, I couldn’t stop! I look forward to reading more of your features. You’re an excellent writer. Keep up the great work!

Michael, welcome to Country Universe. Hope you’ll be a regular visitor. Thanks for all of your comments today. I know those Christmas songs and the Krauss song is a definite contender for next year’s possible Christmas feature, whatever that ends up being.

Good call on Martina and John Berry. A couple to seek out, listen to and consider for Part II next year:
Kenny Rogers & Wynonna – Mary, Did You Know?
Alison Krauss – Shimmy Down the Chimney
Vince Vance & the Valiants – All I Want For Christmas Is You

Great list Leeann! I have a few of these songs, but I think a mixed CD for next year of your favorites would be extremely awesome. Merry belated Xmas everyone!

Paul, I love that Morgan track and CD too. The song really almost made my list, but it was bumped off when I decided to stick to 25.

Steve, It’s always fun engaging with those of you who take the time to comment here. You’re right, at least we’re talking about an artist with this much talent.:)

It’s not exactly a Christmas song, but Lorie Morgan’s recording of “My Favorite Things” was on her excellent Christmas CD

Also “Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy” by Buck Owens and Ernest Tubb’s classic 1948 recording of “Blue Christmas” are among my favorites
