Christmas songs generally suck because the topic limits creativity.

The best ones are by artists that make you forget they're Christmas songs by putting their usual themes into the song.

Such as Step Into Christmas by Elton John or Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys.

This song is a bit new to be "rated" but the words are so on point...Where Else Would A Lamb Be Born? Enjoy!

Overrated:

I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus.
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Underrated

Otis Redding - Merry Christmas Baby

Same song as above but totally different feel. Both are awesome.
Merry Christmas Baby - Charles Brown

Such a talent. Such a great 70's sounding Christmas song.
Donny Hathaway - This Christmas

And my personal favorite. Has a great warm feel.
Earl Grant -- "Silver Bells" (1965)

3. Jingle Bell Rock - Frankie Ford
4. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Pete Fountain
5. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear - Luther Kent

7. Merry Christmas Baby - Doctor John
8. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow - The Dixie Cups
9. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Op... - Aaron Neville
10. Go Tell It On The Mountain - Go Tell It On The Mountain
11. O Holy Night - Irma Thomas
