So this is how it begins huh?! One of my first ever Christmas albums was Honky Tonk Christmas and I loved this song when I was a kid...and I still do! I was just jamming out to this song just last week while putting up the Christmas tree. By the way...Iām really digging the graphics castleoblivion26!

I really hope this is gone because of the Chipmunks; I can understand that. But if y'all plan on throwing King Alan under the bus for this rankdown, then we are gonna have problems...

Lol "Santa's Gonna Come In a Pickup Truck" was seriously terrible upon first listen... The song itself is not terribly objectionable, but there is nothing special about it either. But throw in the Chipmunks, and everything goes to hell. The thing is, I actually enjoy the Chipmunks when they sing, as it is great for a good novelty laugh! But the song kept pausing for these outbreaks of conversation to happen, and that turned it into a dumpster fire... I could see why a child might like it, but that's really the only excuse I can think of to like this song.

I like the Chipmunks. I'm surprised this was the bottom song. I'm hoping I'm not the only one who isn't fond of SHeDAISY's Christmas songs... You're not, which is why I participated. I love SHeDAISY and theirs is one of the best Christmas albums out there (not just country). There was one song of theirs I had to tank though.

I had originally planned on including her but couldn't find any of her songs on youtube or Spotify and as I don't have any of her music I couldn't make a video myself to upload so that is why she got excluded unfortunately. oh btw, anyone want more results tonight?

If it helps, I ranked Alan's other two songs much higher; castleoblivion26 can testify to that.

so I'm getting ready to post the next song but before I do my thoughts on the first elimination...
Alan Jackson's Honky Tonk Christmas album was my first Christmas album so it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I really love every single song on it. When I was finalizing the list of songs for this I was at 109 and trying to figure out the final song but before that I was unsure which song from that album should be a part of this list. I had decided "The Angel's Cried" but then my Mom was adamant that I include this song because she loves this song. The back and forth between Alan and the Chipmunks and the song itself is just fun. It isn't meant to be taken seriously which I feel is what most people did and why it got tanked as badly because this is a fun song that I listen to every year! That is why this song became the last song added to the 109 other songs.
now onto the #109 song, there was one voice that needed to be included and it leaves us next!

No one guessed that this song would be in the bottom 10 but plenty of low rankings tanked it! austin and toomuchboy lose a Top 40 while Cody Wants Out... loses his bottom song!

I remember after Billy Gilman's album One Voice came out I got that album and really enjoyed it. Got his christmas album when that came out as well and listened to "Warm and Fuzzy" a lot. Despite that this song did not age well for me and landed near the bottom of the list for me.
Up next though the bells will stop ringing

I guess I should've tried to do predictions then 'cause I knew this prepubescent bore would be bottom 10. Side-note: Billy Gilman has a pretty nice voice now that he's all grown up though. Would be nice to see him make a comeback.

Would be nice to see him make a comeback. he really does have a good voice now, saw him live and met him right before he went on the Voice. He sang Martina's "A Broken Wing" and nailed it!

Not surprised that I am the highest ranker for this song but I didn't think it would be this low. I absolutely love this song and it has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it in the early 2000's. I really liked Alecia Elliott's voice and was disappointed that the only singles she ever had released to radio were "I'm Diggin' It" and "You Wanna What". Anyways I'll be posting more about her in my Favorite Female Country Singers Rankdown soon enough...

Who the hell is Alecia Elliott. I didn't care for this song, but it wasn't bad like the 30 songs I placed below it

Billy Gilman is awful, I'm sorry. I can't stand his voice. It was ATROCIOUS when it was younger and I still don't like his tone at ALL.
Love Johnny Cash, but it was a hard song to like lol I didn't like it, oopsies.
I have never heard of Alecia Elliott before but I thought the song was fairly good.

I'm a bit disappointed Mr. Johnny placed so low. This is an old Bill Monroe tune...actually sung tonight at the Opry by Ricky Skaggs!

I'm a Gilman fan, personally. I was surprised I liked him on The Voice because his voice was so high as a child that I didn't know how it would sound post-puberty. He was fantastic.

I probably will say "Thank God for Kids" one day, but I most likely will not be as supportive of Eddy Raven or that song in general. He didn't impress me much tbqh.

when I was younger my Mom had a cassette tape of Country Christmas songs and I added a lot of the songs from that album because I grew to love all of them and they remind me of Christmas when I was younger and of some really good memories. Eddy Raven's version of "Thank God For Kids" is one of those songs so nostalgia definitely played a part on this song being ranked as high as it is for me. Sad to see it this low but not at all surprised.

Okay, what? I knew this song wouldn't last that long, but it definitely doesn't deserve bottom 10! Ty sounds great on this

I guess I'm a weirdo because I'm not a huge fan of songs with spoken lines; I can make some exceptions of course, but I couldn't really do so for Ty.
