My Favorite Christmas Songs: Rocksteddy's 'Christmas Single'

If you didn't know the kind of music Rocksteddy music, you'd think whoever sang this song had a mean streak, but here in the Philippines, where Christmas is also associated with lovers shopping together and attending simbang gabi together, you'd understand the humor of the song. You'd have to read the Youtube comments to understand how polarized some people can be about being single this Christmas! Only in the Philippines! But still, I love the humor of the band and they truly understand how sentimental we really are as a people!

My Favorite Contemporary Christmas Songs: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

In the mid-90s, Mariah Carey released a token Christmas album, like most big artists do, just to make extra money, but much to her surprise and to everyone's delight, one of her songs from that album, has become a big contemporary Christmas hit - maybe because of its upbeat tempo and its message of getting the love you want for Christmas. I like it because it sounds so jolly!
