It\u2019s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas<\/span><\/h2>\n

With Christmas just around the corner it\u2019s time to turn up those festive jingles. You\u2019ll hear them on loop in the mall, on the radio, and loudly from the neighbour\u2019s backyard. There is no escaping Christmas. So don\u2019t be a Grinch and embrace the jolliest time of the year. Love or hate them, here are ten songs to put you in the Christmas spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays – N\u2019SYNC<\/span><\/h3>\n

No matter how corny you think this song is I guarantee it will put you in a good mood. There is nothing better than a boy band releasing a Christmas song. I am shocked that it onlycharted at number 37 on the Top 40. Who doesn\u2019t like N\u2019SYNC?!<\/span><\/p>\n

All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want For Christmas Is You\u201d was released the same year I was born and I think I have probably heard it every Christmas since. Mariah is just too cute frolicking around in the snow. Oh how I wish I lived in the northern hemisphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yule Shoot Your Eye Out – Fall Out Boy<\/span><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s Christmas without a song about your horrible ex? In true punk rock fashion Fall Out Boy sing about the joys of breaks up in December. It may not be the happiest festive tune but you couldn\u2019t expect anything else from Fall Out Boy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa Baby – Taylor Swift<\/span><\/h3>\n

I searchedhigh and low for the best \u201cSanta Baby\u201d cover and it was a difficult feat. Amongst all the sensual covers was Taylor\u2019s sweet, country rendition. While she may have taken a pop direction with her music this cover shows Taylor at her best.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Christmas Means To Me – Stevie Wonder<\/span><\/h3>\n

If motown is your thing then Stevie Wonder is here. \u201cWhat Christmas Means To Me\u201d was first recorded for his 1967 Christmas album\u2018Someday at Christmas\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Christmas -Wham!<\/span><\/h3>\n

I fought an internal battle with myself about including this song but Wham! won in the end. Half of me hates it because it\u2019s so ridiculously clich\u00e9 and the other half of me can\u2019t stop singing it. You won this year Wham! but there\u2019s always next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wonderful Christmastime – Paul McCartney<\/span><\/h3>\n

Music critics consider this to be one of McCartney’s poorest compositions. They wereeither lacking in Christmas spirit or they just disliked the terrible music video. Funky sounding synths in a Christmas song.I\u2019m on your side McCartney.<\/span><\/p>\n

Got Something for You – Best Coast and Wavves<\/span><\/h3>\n

Best Coast and Wavves teamed up in 2011 to create this lo-fi track for a Target Christmas album. Their talent is way beyond cheap compilations albums. This song is different from the glossy Christmas songs we are used to.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas -Perry Como<\/span><\/h3>\n

For us poor Aussies our Christmas doesn\u2019t resemble Como\u2019s vision in the slightest. Snow? Holly? Silver lanes aglow?But don\u2019t lie, you\u2019ve sung this song in an exaggerated voice while melting in 30 degree heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nmc9gfowJmk&w=640&h=360]<\/p>\n

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Relient K<\/span><\/h3>\n

American rock band Relient K put a spin on the Christmas classic \u201cHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmas\u201d. The band love December 25th so much they have released two Christmas albums.This song will make even The Grinch smile.<\/span><\/p>\n
