It’s finally starting to feel like winter. The rain has stopped (for now) and the winter chill has settled in. The Grumpy Cat Christmas movie kicked off my season with the appropriate amount of snark and reminded me of a holiday classic I’d forgotten about: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.
As much as I love Christmas music, sometimes you want options other than the 20 standard Christmas song. Hippopotamus and Two Front Teeth are underplayed, underappreciated classics. I have a modern cover of the former but can’t listen to the latter without the whistle. If you want something totally different:
Santa’s Lost His Mojo by Jeremy Lister
Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson
Christmas Day by She & Him

Christmas Wish by All Caps
Santa Has a Mullet by Nerf Herder
The Cowboy’s Christmas Ball by The Killers
Don’t Shoot Me Santa by The Killers
Christmas at the Airport by Nick Lowe
The Marvelous Toy by The Chad Mitchell Trio (It’s a Christmas song to me)

Mistletoe by Colbie Caillat
Text Me Merry Christmas by Straight No Chaser with Kristen Bell
