Blogmas Day 8: My Top 8 Christmas Songs!

-
As it's day 8 of Blogmas, I thought I'd do a 'Top 8' post.

And what better to post about in Blogmas than Christmas songs?

For me, Christmas songs are what really makes Christmas. When there are Christmas songs on the radio or music videos on the TV, I get really excited for Christmas. And listening to all of these songs while making this list has also got me really excited!

8. 'Christmastime To Me' by Jordin Sparks

This is probably the least well-known song in this countdown, so if you haven't heard it, watch it now! I first heard this song a few weeks ago and I love it so much I've had it on repeat! Jordin Sparks sounds amazing in it!

7. 'Merry Christmas Everyone' by Shakin' Stevens

This is a feel-good Christmas song that everyone knows. This makes it great because, if you're somewhere with your friends, you can all belt out at least the chorus together and really get into a Christmassy mood!
 

6. 'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby


It's not as upbeat as the first two songs, but it is just as good. I love the lyrics (because everybody dreams of a white Christmas) and I just love the way that it's sung. I also put The Wanted's version above because that is my favourite version.
 

5. 'Last Christmas' by Wham


This is another classic song that everyone knows and can sing along to. I don't know if Wham's version is the complete original version but I love their version a lot. I also included Glee's version because I really like it being sung by a woman too!
 

4. 'Do They Know It's Christmas' by Band Aid 30

I love this song a lot. But what I love even more about it is that it is used as a charity single. This year it is raising money to help the fight against Ebola, and I think it was really smart to put such well-known stars, such as One Direction in the song, because that really helped to raise a lot of money!
 

3. 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' by Wizzard

I have always loved this song so much, and I still do. This used to play all the time when I was younger. As soon as December came, Wizzard was blasting through the radios and TV screens. Because it's so well known, it is another one that so many people love and can sing along to, which really gets you into the festive spirit!
 

2. 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' by Michael Buble

I know this isn't the original version, but I love Michael Buble's version so much! I mean, I have always loved Michael Buble anyway, but his voice in this song particularly is just amazing and I love it so much!
 

1. 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey



For me personally, there is no other song that could be number one on a Christmas song countdown. Mariah Carey's voice is perfection, the video is amazing, and there is nothing else that gets me into the Christmas spirit!
 
Comment below what some of your favourite Christmas songs are!
 
I think the more festive the song, the better it is!
 
It's 17 days until Christmas!
 
Come back tomorrow for Blogmas Day 9!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
