Dad's Holiday Music Recommendations!

The management here at Dad’s Christmas Blog takes great pride in keeping up with all things Christmas, especially Christmas music.  So, in no particular order, I thought it would be fun to share some of the favorites we’ve been listening to here at DCB headquarters.

We haven’t quite gone commercial here at DCB (yet), so you’ll have to track these gems down yourself from the usual places you get music these days.

Check ‘em out:

“Everybody Knows It’s Christmas” (2022) - Chris Isaak

His second Christmas album is even better than his first one. Favorite songs: “Everybody Knows It’s Christmas” and “Almost Christmas”.

“Socks” (2018) – JD McPherson

I just like every song on this album.  Favorites: “All the Gifts I Need” and “Every Single Christmas”.

“Everyday Is Christmas” (2017) – Sia

This whole album has a very festive vibe.  Favorite songs: “Candy Cane Lane” and “Round and Round”.

“A Very Kacey Christmas” (2016) – Kacey Musgraves

A fun mix of old and new songs. Favorite songs: “Presents Without A Bow” and “Ribbons and Bows”.

“Hey! Merry Christmas!” (2018) – The Mavericks

Just a bunch of happy-sounding Christmas songs! Favorite songs: “Christmas Time is (Coming Round Again)” and “Hey! Merry Christmas!”.

“Christmas” (2023) – Cher

She’s 78 years old and sounds great!  There’s lots of good stuff here, but I’d say my favorites are:  “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” and “DJ Play a Christmas Song”.

“Christmas Party” (2018) – The Monkees”

Hey, hey it’s the Monkees for Christmas! Favorite songs: “Unwrap You at Christmas” and “Mele Kalikimaka”.

 
“A Legendary Christmas” (2018) – John Legend

Really nice album.  Favorite songs: “Merry Merry Christmas" and “What Christmas Means to Me”.

 
“You Make It Feel Like Christmas” Deluxe Edition (2020) – Gwen Stefani

This originally came out in 2017, but she keeps re-releasing it with more songs on it. The Deluxe Edition is the best.  Favorite songs: “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” and "Here This Christmas".

"Christmas Spirit" (2008) - Los Lonely Boys

This one goes back a few years, but it's a good one.  Favorite songs: “I’ve Longed For Christmas” &
"She'll Be My Everything For Christmas".

Santa: You seem a little down Hermie.  What’s the problem?
Hermie: Well, it’s like this, boss:

My girlfriend complains I don’t give her enough privacy.
At least that’s what she says in her diary.

Last month she blocked me on Facebook cuz I use too many bird puns.
Well, TOUCAN play at that game.

A few weeks ago she told me to take out a spider instead of killing it.
So, I did. We had a few drinks. Pretty nice guy.  Turns out he’s a web developer.

Yesterday she broke up with me cuz she thinks I’m a compulsive gambler.
Ever since then, all I can think about is how to win her back.
