25 Days of Christmas #25: "O Holy Night" by Lea Michele

Merry Christmas, everyone! I've saved the best for last in our 25 Days of Christmas countdown. This is, hands down, my favorite rendition of my favorite holiday song. Listen to Lea Michele, who has the voice of an angel, perform "O Holy Night". (It's more like, "O Holy Shit she has a good voice," am I right?)

25 Days of Christmas #24: "Carol of the Bells" by Jessica Simpson

Am I the only one who gets dizzy when listening to "Carol of the Bells"? I get some serious vertigo, which I sort of love. Here's the trippy holiday classic as sung by Jessica Simpson (because sometimes it's nice to just throw her a bone).

25 Days of Christmas #23: "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by Elvis Presley and Carrie Underwood

So, it seems like the new thing is to perform songs with dead people. Tupac, Michael Jackson, and now Elvis Presley... Nobody is off limits. Usually, it's creepy. But in the case of Elvis and Carrie Underwood's duet of "I'll Be Home For Christmas", it's a holiday miracle! Elvis' ex-wife Priscilla Presley personally picked Carrie to sing on the track, and I'm sure glad she did. This duet is proof of God's Santa's existence.

25 Days of Christmas #22: "Christmas Won't Be the Same Without You" by Plain White T's

Remember when the Plain White T's were a thing? Yeah, I barely do either. But when they did still have some cultural relativity, they released a Christmas song. (Fun side note: It was released on All Wrapped Up, a Disney Channel holiday album; didn't know what the Plain White T's were signed to Disney, did ya?) "Christmas Won't Be the Same Without You" is a fun modern pop song with some tidings of comfort and joy thrown into it, making it the perfect addition to the 25 Days of Christmas countdown.

25 Days of Christmas #21: "The Chipmunk Song" by Alvin & the Chipmunks

"The Chipmunk Song" is basically the epitome of Christmas music. It is so fucking adorable and anybody who says it's annoying is basic as all hell. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are amongst the world's best fictional musicians, as well as the world's best fictional chipmunks (alongside Chip and Dale). Every time I listen to this song, I'm happy. So sit back and enjoy! And would someone get that Chipmunk his damn hula-hoop?!

25 Days of Christmas #20: "Santa Claus Lane" by Hilary Duff

My best friend Hilary Duff has an entire Christmas album, but nothing compares to the yuletide joy that is her rendition of "Santa Claus Lane".

What are you asking for this holiday season? A chance to meet Hilary Duff? That's awkward because I already had, so stay pressed.

25 Days of Christmas #19: "Oh Santa!" by Mariah Carey

Love. That is how I feel about this song. I can't even articulate the reasons why. It just is. I do know that the opening chant, "Oh, Santa's gonna come and you mine this Christmas! Santa's gonna come and make you mine, mine!" is the BEST holiday lyric of all time. But other than that, you'll have to listen to Mariah Carey's "Oh Santa!" to understand why it's so brillz.

25 Days of Christmas #18: "Christmases When You Were Mine" by Taylor Swift

She may be a cunt, but even cunts deserve to partake in holiday festivities, such as the Tommy Time 25 Days of Christmas countdown. Bringing her usual "you broke my little pink heart" bullshit to the Christmas season, here's Taylor Swift's original song, "Christmases When You Were Mine".

25 Days of Christmas #17: "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Bublé

 It's about high time that we all accept that Michael Bublé has an amazing voice and just owns the shit out of all Christmas songs. Personally, he's not my cup of tea (I prefer the holiday stylings of the collective Glee cast), but I couldn't not put him on this list. Here's my favorite MB holiday song, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas", and boy is it!

25 Days of Christmas #16: "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah" by Mark Salling and Jacob Artist

This one's for the Jews! To commemorate the last day of Hanukkah, I thought it'd be fun to celebrate with a song that throws it back to the Old Testament. I didn't really know any besides the whole "dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay" diddy and ain't nobody got time for that. Luckily, the Glee cast and their constant need to be progressive and inclusive always comes through for me. "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah" is too much fun and just makes you want to dance! Performed by Mark Salling and Jacob Artist, who portray Jewish half-brothers Puck and Jake, here's the Glee version of the Hebrew jingle. Mazel tov!

25 Days of Christmas #15: "Silent Night" by Naya Rivera

Once again, the Glee cast knows what up. In what's one in like a bajillion songs about the day Jesus was born (I know, it's called Christmas for a reason, but we fucking get it already), "Silent Night"is the perfect song for anybody to show off their vocal chops, and that's exactly what Naya Rivera, who plays Bitch of the Week Santana Lopez on the show, does in her rendition from the cast's most recent holiday album! It ain't a silent night up in herr!

25 Days of Christmas #14: "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by Maroon 5

Written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1971, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a protest song about the Vietnam War. It's such a nice little jam. My only qualm is that it perpetuates the atrocious abbreviation of Christmas. But just as the war is history, so is the original rendition of the song. Why listen to a Beatle sing when you can listen to the sultry voice of Adam Levine? I suppose a little reverence for the dead might be in order, so RIP John Lennon. You did a lot of cool things. But Adam Levine is kind of sort of but not really the 21st century version of you, so just relax.

25 Days of Christmas #13: "Greatest Time of Year" by Aly & AJ

Long before they completely and desperately faded into oblivion (wtf is hellcats?), Aly & AJ were the premiere Disney Channel sisters. Bitches even had a Christmas album, which is fitting since they're always talking about Jesus and bitching about how evolution shouldn't be taught in school (more on that during their scheduled Cunts of the Week post). Putting aside their blind religious babbling, Aly & AJ prove two things with "Greatest Time of Year": (1) they know how to make a great holiday jam; and (2) they have no grasp on the English language. Greatest time of year. Really?

25 Days of Christmas #12: "What Child Is This" by Carrie Underwood

Hol-fucking-ler to Carrie Underwood because bitch is making her second appearance on the 25 Days of Christmas countdown, this time with her cover of "What Child Is This". I love this song so very much, not because it's about Britney Jesus being born and stuff, but because it's so dramatic. It's the soap opera of Christmas carols, which I thoroughly appreciate, and I hope you do too!

25 Days of Christmas #11: "Christmas Wrapping" by Heather Morris

There's nothing I love more than a good pun, which is why the rap song "Christmas Wrapping" is too much fun. (Get it? Wrapping... rapping. Lol!) The song was written soon after the birth of New Wave music and is probably the only holiday song of that genre. Originally performed by the Waitresses, I decided I needed to remain true to Heather Morris, one member of the ever-versatile Glee cast. Enjoy her rendition of "Christmas Wrapping" from the show's second Christmas album.

25 Days of Christmas #10: "My Grown Up Christmas List" by Kelly Clarkson

Fun fact: "My Grown Up Christmas List", a song that talks about wishing for world peace and other such crap (lame!), was originally recorded by Natalie Cole and David Foster for his non-holiday album in 1990. It was Amy Grant who made it the Christmas classic that it is two years later. But since nobody cares about her, today you're more likely to hear Kelly Clarkson's version, and that's exactly the rendition I've posted. I do quite enjoy the song and I hope you do too!

25 Days of Christmas #9: "All I Need Is Love" by Cee Lo Green and the Muppets

When I heard that Cee Lo Green was releasing a Christmas album, I prayed that it would contain a holiday remix of "Fuck You". Unfortunately, this wasn't to be. HOWEVER, something even better came in its place: a duet between Mr. Green and the Muppets. Yup, like Alvin & the Chipmunks, Hannah Montana, and many other fictional characters before them, the Muppets have a recording career. For whatever reason, they've been in cahoots with Cee Lo ever since they paired up for a performance of "Fuck Forget You" at the 2011 Grammys. (Why Disney allowed this, I'll never know.) Putting aside Cee Lo's past explicit works and the allegations that he's a woman-beater, let's just drink eggnog and enjoy the cheery wonder that is "All I Need Is Love".

25 Days of Christmas #8: "Last Christmas" by Ashley Tisdale

"Last Christmas" is by far my favorite Christmas song. Whether it's the love-gone-wrong theme or the British uttering of "Happy Christmas," I just can't get enough! And while the original Wham! version is alright, there is no rendition so classic as that of Ashley Tisdale. Her cover of "Last Christmas" was her first release under her recording contract with Warner Bros. It isn't uncommon for new artists to release holiday material before delving into the mainstream careers, but do they usually do it with as much success as the Tiz? I think not. So this Christmas, please take the time to enjoy "Last Christmas".

25 Days of Christmas #7: "Christmas Lights" by Coldplay

 Coldplay suffers from the same handicap that ails Daughtry, Taylor Swift, and Nickelback. All their shit sounds the same. I guess if something works, why mess with it? The British band adds in some holiday flair to their usual sound in "Christmas Lights". Regardless of how they sound or how they (don't) grow as a band, this song is a fun jam to listen to as you haul out the holly, deck the halls, and do all your other festive shit! Enjoy!

25 Days of Christmas #6: "The First Noel" by Carrie Underwood

I'll be honest and say that the sixth song on the 25 Days of Christmas countdown isn't very fun on its own. However, when it comes flowing out of the golden pipes of the wonderful Carrie Underwood, it's a beautiful song that makes all non-Christians reconsider. Please, sit back and relax as Carrie does what she does best!
