Look above! I've made my list. I've checked it twice. It doesn't matter who was naughty or nice. Welcome to the fifth edition of PapaBear's Vinyl Flashback. It's the most wonderful time of the year in the PapaBear household and Chirstmas music can be heard around the clock. Unlike some, I never grow tired of a great yuletide tune. So, I present to you a list of 30 Christmas songs that are my all-time favorites. Remember, these are just my personal favorites. If I snubbed a favorite of yours please feel free to mention it in the comment section. As an added bonus I will include a trio of Sing-A-Longs at the bottom of this post. Hope you enjoy! 30. Home for the Holidays - Perry Como 29. Two Step 'Round the Christmas Tree - Suzy Bogguss 28. Christmas All Over Again - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 27.

Mike Huckabee who — coincidentally — is coming out in favor of it waving there (apparently forever). Booker Rising, a site that bills itself as a "news site for black moderates and black conservatives' but must be required reading for everyone, writes this: However, I'll take on Mr.
