Ten Christmas songs I'm still not tired of
Share

Except for Mariah Carey and the latest holiday releases from popular artists who’ll be forgotten this time next year, the Christmas song canon hasn’t changed much since I was in elementary school.

And there many of them I’m perfectly happy to never hear ever again. But a handful manage to get past my thoroughly jaded outer shell and instill in me at least a little bit of holiday spirit, at least until some guy in a Ram 1500 cuts me off and what cereal box did you get your drivers licence from you £π#@$%¥?!?
