I’ve always been a big fan of lists, so I’ve updated my top 25 favorite Christmas songs. It’s pretty much the same as what I posted on Facebook last year, but the Pogues moved up, and Band Aid took the #1 spot again. So without further ado, here’s the list. Let me know if you agree (none of you will), and what you feel should be there and what shouldn’t. And stay tuned for a post I can only call “Christmas Presents For The Enemies Of Public Education In Delaware”. Feel free to leave input on that one as well!
