"A Baby Changes Everything" I love this song and wish it did better but I expected this to be around here because I know some people don't care for it. I think Faith sounds incredible on this song
"O Little Town of Bethlehem" Never been the biggest fan of this song but Terri sounds really good and it is pleasant to listen to
"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" This is an alright version but have definitely heard many other versions that I like a lot better. I think I'd like Joe Nichols voice better on other songs
"On This Winter's Night" Expected this song to do a lot better than this. I like this well enough but am not sad it made it here
"My Grown Up Christmas List" I want to like this more than I do because I love Lauren Alaina but like the Terri Clark song I've never been a big fan of this song.
"Christmas Without You" Not the biggest fan of Kenny Rogers not going to lie but love Dolly Parton and they do sound good together. For me this is a good place for this to go
"The Rockin' Christmas Medley" RIP Mel Tillis, still really sad that he passed away recently. I loved this performance because it was father and daughter and it really worked for me (unlike the Johnny Cash & Family performance).
"Santa Train" not my favorite song from Patty's Christmas album but I still really like this song, sad it is out now.
"It Won't Be Christmas Without You" This song is good but it reminds me too much of "Believe" and not enough of Christmas so it just doesn't work for me (and I get that this came out long before they released "Believe" but both songs sound very similar).
"Country Christmas" I love this song. This is another song that grew on me the more I listened to it, and I just listened to it again and really love it. This would probably be Top 30 for me if I was to re-rank these songs now.
More coming tomorrow! Sorry if I'm going through all this too fast for anyone, just trying to make sure it is all posted before Christmas Eve!

^ I don't think "It Won't Be Christmas Without You" sounds like "Believe", other than the fact they're both slow. It was released three years before "Believe."
It definitely sounds like an ordinary heartbreak song with Christmas in the title though, but they can be good in my book, this one I understand why some would find it boring though.

Catching up. "The Gift" was cheese, didn't like it. The Tractors song rocked tho! I'm pleasantly surprised that "Christmas All Over The World" by Tim is out so early! I expected that one to do way better. "Two Steps Round The Christmas Tree" is decent but wouldn't go out of my way to listen. "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" is fine. lol not much else to say about it. Again, not one I'd ever go out of my way to hear. Willie Nelson is awful and totally unlistenable for me, and his Christmas music won't help that. I ranked "Let There Be Peace On Earth" higher cuz I really like Vince Gill's voice. Elvis or not his "Blue Christmas" is pretty dreadful. "Christmas Carol" falls under the decent, but wouldn't seek it out category for me. I like Collin Raye better than the song, but still "It Could Happen Again" isn't necessarily bad just really boring. "Christmas In Heaven" is a better song on paper than it actually is recorded. I'm not a Scotty McCreery fan though, so that doesn't help lol. I like Mark Willis hence my top 60 ranking of "New Star Shining" but again the song doesn't captivate me at all. Thrilled to see "Santa Baby" gone. Easily one of my least favorite Xmas songs. It's so.... slutty lol. Sorry not sorry. For what it's worth, Kellie Pickler is not the reason I reanked this one really low. It's just the song itself. Bummed to see "A Candle In The Window" out so soon, but I'm not surprised cuz Alabama always seems to exit early on in rankdowns. At least that won't be the case in their own rankdown lol. "Last Christmas" is a horrible, horrible song. I hate that more than words can say. Taylor's version is the worst, but I didn't like Wham's either. No disrespect to George Michael though, he was a great vocalist, it's just the song itself. Blaine Larson is a wonderful vocalist and I enjoyed "Away In A Manger" fine because of that. It deserved better. I really do like Deana Carter lol but "Johnny's Snowman" was impossible for me to enjoy. I did like "The First Noel" by Rebecca Lynn Howard and think it should have fared better. I did really like "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song" by Vince and like I said, love his vocals, so this is out way too soon. I know I lost a top 10 with "Twist of the Magi" by SHeDAISY but honestly, that's the one I wanted to see out first from them lol. Like the song and SHeDAISY sounds amazing on it but Gary LeVox is awful on it. "A Baby Changes Everything" by Faith was REALLY dreadful for me, but I am quite shocked to see it out so soon. KanenrΓ‘:ke you should have just threw a list together at random lol to help Terri Clark and SHeDAISY. Honestly, Terri's "O Little Town of Bethlehem was really good and does not deserve to be out right now. I've never really cared for "Let It Snow!" as a song and I'm so not a Joe Nichols fan, so this wasn't a good one for me lol. Didn't like Lady A's "On This Winter's Night" either lol. "Christmas With You" was a big fat NO for me because I detest Kenny Rodgers. Except "Lady" which is great. But I can't stand his voice. "The Rockin' Christmas Tree Medley" was decent enough. Again, nothing I'd go out of my way to listen to. Patty Loveless deserved better cuz of her wonderful voice lol. Her "Santa Train" was fun enough. I didn't like "It Wouldn't Be Christmas Without You" by Brooks & Dunn either. Just does nothing for me. I've just never been a Loretta Lynn fan. .... so most of this was just me saying over and over how I didn't like anything, lol. Sorry y'all.

Twist of the Magi is a terrific song but my gosh do Rascal Flatts butcher it. I wish this had been a duet with literally ANY other artist at the time, but Kass was still seeing Joe Don and as labelmates it made sense to do it with them. Great song, but even I couldn't rank it Top 10. I hope the other three can at least all make Top 50.
I knew Deana wouldn't do well, but that's a great Christmas song.
Christmas Carol was robbed. I haven't been this upset since I met God's Will on a Halloween Night and he couldn't make the Top 20 of the Martina Rankdown. #JusticeForWill #HalloweenNight

Christmas Without You is great song and It was eliminated way to soon... I like most of Dolly & Kenny duets and this one is not an exception. It's certainty one of my favourite english Christmas songs and I would rank it as my #2.

I really wanted to bomb Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery, but I actually liked their two songs. *shudder*
I love Dolly, but I just don't care for CWY. Hopefully "Hard Candy Christmas" does much better.

Not surprised that "A Baby Changes Everything" got tanked after seeing how unpopular it was in the Faith Hill rankdown, but I am surprised that it actually hovered in the Top 40 for quite awhile before the last few lists brought it down. What a shame. It's an incredible song.

OMG....I've been ransacked!
"Christmas Without You" is my favorite country Christmas tune....I'm wondering that since it's a 'missing you' tune that the masses here want happier stuff, but we're talking country music here...the entire CD is far above average.
"Candle In The Window" is probably a bit more reality based as well, but it makes me feel all warm & fuzzy...Alabama has that effect on me...
"Pretty Paper"...y'all were just mean here...Mr. Willie (still singing behind the beat) brings real angst to this.
"Santa Baby" WORST SONG EVER, I dont' care who sings it, although I'm not a fan of Kelli Pickler anyway. I ranked it 110 because I seriously think it belongs there. Same with anything by Taylor Swift. Ugh.

What a shame. It's an incredible song. "A Baby Changes Everything" was a first time listen for me during the Faith Hill rankdown and I remember placing it quite low; this song has really grown on me, though, and I actually really like it now. I'll for sure be adding this one to my Christmas playlist going forward.

Congrats on going 2x Platinum tim! "A Baby Changes Everything" was actually underwhelming for me, although I do appreciate the concept behind it and it may affect me once I shape myself up and get out of this part-timer rut.

Super sad to see "A Candle In The Window" and "Pretty Paper" being so low and I definitely agree that "Santa Baby" is terrible. Also any of the Christmas songs from Taylor are annoying. Anyways, more results coming your way shortly! and coming fast!

"Santa Baby" isn't a favorite of mine either, but Eartha Kitt's and Kellie Pickler's versions don't bother me.
Taylor's "Last Christmas" is awful. The Glee Cast version is my favorite, but if not that, then Wham! or Ariana.
Deana's "Johnny's Snowman" was a first listen for me and I really loved that song, actually. Only it doesn't really sound like a Christmas song, which is why I didn't rank it higher.
RIP "Mary Did You Know" (and below Reba's awful version, too, yuck)
