"Pretty Paper" I think of my Grandmother with this song because Willie Nelson was her favorite singer. I used to hate this song but in recent years have grown fond of it. It is out too early imo
"Let There Be Peace On Earth" This song has been a favorite of mine since I was about 7 years old when the album came out. This song took on a new meaning for me when it was sang at my Grandfathers funeral a few years back. While I don't listen to it like I used to because of that it still remains a favorite. Vince with his daughter Jenny sound amazing on this song. Was shocked with the low rankings for this song tbh, wasn't expecting it to be Top 10 or anything but didn't expect it to be this low overall.
"Blue Christmas" This set of songs all remind me of family. This is my Mom's favorite Christmas song but one of my least favorites. I love Christmas music but this song is hard to listen to so I avoid it as much as I can. Even the Martina duet version I avoid because this song makes me sad.
"Christmas Carol" I had never even heard of this song before it was recommended to be a part of this. Listening to it I hated it at first, just didn't care for it one bit but I gave it a few listens and it grew on me. I do think it is out too soon but I am also not surprised it is out this early. It is a good song though
"It Could Happen Again" Again with Collin Raye going early. One of my favorites, I love this song and the story of it. I think Collin sounds great on this one also.

It is out too early imo This is exactly how I feel as I never liked this song as a kid, but now as I'm getting older (omg I can't believe I'm now saying these kind of things) I love this song. Both Randy Travis and Ricky Van Shelton have great versions of this song as well.

I have heard Randy Travis' version and feel the same about it as I do Willie Nelson's version for the most part though I definitely prefer Willie's. Never heard any other versions though, will have to check them out.

"It Could Happen Again" was a first-time listen for me, and I really liked it; could I be falling head over heels for Collin Raye already?
"Christmas in Heaven" was pleasant enough, but kinda got lost in the shuffle for me.
I wanted to like "New Star Shining", but I just couldn't. Maybe I was pressed for time?

Ouch! @ those who ranked Kellie's take on "Santa Baby" really high; that's gotta hurt. According to my local radio stations, it's the only Christmas song Kellie has ever done (really wanna hear her take on "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" though) *insertbigeyerollhere*
"A Candle in the Window" never stuck with me for some odd reason.
Not the biggest fan of Taylor's take on "Last Christmas", but I guess it's kinda cute. *shrug*

I'm still shocked there are those who had no idea it was a remake of a song by Wham! (umm .indulgecountry !). Their original version is a classic.

"Christmas In Heaven" I remember liking this song while ranking but it just hasn't stuck with me afterwards for some reason. Feel like I want to hear it again though so there is that.
"New Star Shining" I remember when this song first came out and I really enjoyed it. It really fell for me though, did not age well. It is not bad and I don't dislike it just don't like it as much as I remember liking it.
"Santa Baby" There is no version of this song that I like. Love Kellie Pickler's voice but don't like this song.
"A Candle In The Window" Love this song and it is out way too early. This has probably been in my Top 10 for most of my life and reminds me of my Grandmothers house and brings good memories. There are many songs that I like in this rankdown which is why it wasn't in my Top 10 here but still in my Top 20, it is such a good song.
"Last Christmas" early Taylor Swift, no thank you. Not a fan at all.
More coming soon!

"Breath of Heaven" is out way too early and I probably should've included this in my top 10. I'd have to say Vince is probably one of my all time favorites when it comes to Christmas music.

ETA: Oh I guess you said according to what you hear on the radio, lol. Also, both Taylor and Kellie's songs in this RD were #robbed.

Well, .indulgecountry, I know Kellie's done a bunch more than "Santa Baby", but we know how close-minded radio is these days.

"Away In A Manger" Love this song, like Blaine Larsen's voice but do not like this rendition. Just does not work when it should. Not sure what about it I don't like.
"Johnny's Snowman" I really like this song. Plus my nephews name is Johnny and this is one of his favorite songs because it is his name. We all listen to it every year because of that
"The First Noel" This is among my favorite Christmas songs and I love this version of it. It is not my favorite but definitely is up there! Rebecca Lynn Howard has such an incredible voice, it is disappointed that she isn't still recording music.
"Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)" Seeing this song go now hurts. I absolutely love everything about this rendition of this song. I've heard the original Amy Grant version and I definitely prefer this version. Vince sounds great and I love the music of it as well. Gone too soon!
"Twist of The Magi" the obvious weakest song of the SHeDAISY Christmas songs. I love this song and included it to have another SHeDAISY song in while also having Rascal Flatts included. I've always enjoyed this song like I enjoy the entire album.
More in a little bit maybe...

This rankdown is so random. A few I agree with, most I don't.
