5 Original Christmas Songs To Get You In The Holiday Spirit
Words and Picks by Annette Schaefer
Fall Out Boy – Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
This song is Christmas in true old-school Fall Out Boy fashion. It’s spiteful yet catchy chorus makes this song the only one I can tolerate hearing over and over again from the mall overhead music. Anyone who’s not in the jolliest mood this Christmas will likely appreciate this angry little jingle.
Family Force 5 – It’s Christmas Day
On the other end of the spectrum, this song actually gets me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside about Christmas. Amongst it’s more “crunk” Christmas carols on Family Force 5’s Christmas Pageant, this song is sweet and light hearted. It’s bound to put even the biggest Scrooge into a jolly spirit.
The Maine – Ho Ho Hopefully
This song is everything I love about Christmas songs and songs by The Maine. It’s sugary sweet like any good Christmas song should be and it’s wonderfully optimistic. It’s the right tune to kiss that special someone under the mistletoe to.
Never Shout Never – 30 Days
Another cute love song with a Christmas twist, this is the song you would stick on a mixed tape for your holiday crush.
NSYNC – Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
I remember getting NSYNC’s Christmas album Home for the Holidays for Christmas as a kid. This song was an instant favorite for me. It doesn’t seem to matter how old I get or how bitter I feel about boy bands, this song is always a Christmastime must. It’s not Christmas until I hear JC Chasez’s voice. It’s just not.
