Unfortunately for tim, his #1 bows out next, just shy of the top 20 :'( He is the first person to lose their #1, which is pretty unusual when people like ClevelandRox and kamala 2024 truther are around... "I Know What I Want For Christmas" is a bit of a grower, so I am not surprised to see it out now. It comes across as a little boring on first listen, but I personally find myself growing a bit more attached to it every time I listen to it.

"Let It Snow" is a fun song that I pretty much always enjoy regardless of the version. That being said, I wish George's was just a liiiittle bit faster. This song is best when it flies by at a brisk pace, the way Martina did it! George's version is still loaded with charisma though, which is his biggest strength when it comes to Christmas music! That's actually what makes George's my go-to version! Most of the time the song is done at a faster pace like they're frolicking along in the park, whereas George is strolling along and taking his time lol.

Disappointed that my #1 couldn't make the Top 20, but honestly not surprised since as bboat11 mentioned it is a grower. This is one of my most played Christmas songs not just by George but overall and I can't wait for when the time comes around that I can finally put this one on again! On a random side note, 23 is my lucky number so I suppose that's something...

Lmao I'm not sure what the heck you guys are thinking with "The Christmas Song".... This has always been one of the more boring Christmas songs to me, and George's drags ooooooooonn and ooooonnnn. THREE top 10 ranks??!?! George adds absolutely nothing new to this song, and somehow manages to take all the most boring aspects of the song and make them even more boring...

The title track to George's '90s album leaves us next. Similar to "I Know What I Want For Christmas", this one is a bit of a grower. It was on pace to make the top 20, maybe even the top 15, until LBTrocks came in and tanked it with the final submission...

Wow, MCWYA is not holding up very well here! There's only two versions of "The Christmas Song" that I put on that being Alan Jackson and of course George's. I know for most this song is a struggle to get through, but it's one that I like to put on later in the evening on a cold winter night with some candles glowing...perfect ambiance! I'm also not sure how else to put this but this is one of those Christmas songs that I prefer to hear as being sung from a male vocalist...not sure about the reasoning there but just happens to be the case with some holiday songs.

I would've picked "Merry Christmas (Wherever You Are)" to be one that likely misses the Top 20 so not surprised, but I still would've liked to have seen it sneak in as it is a song that I do reach out to play often during the holidays.

I think Old Time Christmas has a chance to take this or at least be in the Top 5-10 (if it doesn't get randomly tanked )

Not really upset about anything so far, although "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" should have stayed in longer. It's one of the select few Xmas songs I actually enjoy.

Bowing out at #20, we have the most polarizing song of this entire rankdown!!! THREE people ranked it in their top 5, with two of those being #2... Meanwhile it also receive multiple bottom 2 ranks as well. Talk about a split!

"White Christmas" is just not one of my favorite Christmas songs... I always feel like it plods, and I never go out of my way to hear it, similar to "The Christmas Song". Also similar to that song, George adds nothing to it and ultimately churns out a totally pointless cover devoid of any spirit or originality. Still, he managed to get THREE top 5 ranks from tim, ClevelandRox, and castleoblivion26, who apparently prefer boring Christmas songs to good Christmas songs.

"When It's Christmas Time In Texas" is a fun original song, that allows George to perform the obligatory Texas Swing material his fans have come to expect while maintaining the Christmas theme! Noteworthy aspect of this performance: ClevelandRox is the very first person in this rankdown to get a perfect ranking!!!!

"Frosty The Snowman" is a pretty fun song. It is not one I ever feel the need to hear tackled by a professional musician, because it feels kinda childish like "Jesus Loves Me" or "Rudolph". However, George does about as good of a job with it as I have heard anyone do.
