I didn't like the pacing of "Winter Wonderland" at all as it was way too fast. This was an easy last place for me.
Without fail, "Blue Christmas" is a song that I'll always end up comparing to Elvis as his version is my favorite. And unlike Brooks & Dunn's cover, Deana's was quite enjoyable for what it is.
"I'll Be Home For Christmas" is another holiday staple for me and Deana's was quite pleasant to the ears. It's not anything I'm going to revisit, but I did like her subdued take on it.
"Merry Christmas Darling" is a go-to Christmas song for me with my favorite being from The Carpenters (which I've probably already listened to a handful of times already this month). Because of that, this also stood out as a favorite of mine from Deana's holiday album.

This is a really strong top 3! "Boogie Woogie" was my #3 but my top 2 and my #4 remain so I am very happy with how this is going.
Prediction:
1. December 2. Johnny 3. Carol

Her rendition of "Carol of the Bells" is one of my favorites that I've heard. LeAnn Rimes probably has the best version of it for me though.

Can I have through the end of the weekend to get this first list in to you? I’m currently out of town for my grandpa’s funeral, and it’s hard to do much on Pulse with all this family stuff going on. I’ll be heading home on Sunday though, so I can totally get it done that day!

"Don't Let Go" is beautiful, so it was mostly just my last place because of how strong these tracks are in general. The orchestra is noteworthy, but also a little less engaging to me than a more country arrangement would have been.
Uh oh at "Just What You Need" being next!!! Most of these songs were so close in quality that I had trouble ranking them. Nothing was even remotely bad, but there were also very few standouts. The effect is that there is very little difference between the songs in my top 5 and my bottom 5. But this one has a very nice start to the chorus! The "You can tell yourself that somebody cares" line sounds so good! However, I will admit that I kinda hate the fact that the next line suddenly throws in a minor note on "need"..... That honestly completely takes me out of the song for a moment. Maybe I overranked it, but like I said, there is very little actual difference between any of my rankings aside from my #1 being easy!
I imagine the alternate version of the title track is only this low because it is an alternate version. Because quite frankly, I came out of this recording thinking this should have been the official version. It's even better than the original!

The alternate version of the title track is fine, but it becomes more filler in my opinion when you have the other anniversary edition which is just more fun to listen to.

"Are You Coming Home Today" is an example of how little difference there was in my rankings. This was as high as my #2 when I first listened to it, and then after a few listens through all of these it ended up as low as like #10 or so on my list. In my final revision I put it at #8. It's really good overall, but so is everything else!
