What are some of your favorites? Tell us in the comments.
Okay, I'll admit it. My name is Lauren and I'm addicted to Christmas music. I'm that girl driving through Westwood Village, radio blaring and tuned into KOST 103.5 nonstop.
After one full month of listening to endless holiday tunes, here's a roundup of my Top Ten Favorite Christmas Songs.
10. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by The Jackson Five: A pre-pubescent Michael Jackson sees Mommy kissing Santa Claus. It kind of explains a lot.

9. Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie:
It's a beautiful mash-up of two classics, proving that such a thing existed long before the TV show, Glee.

8. The Most Wonderful Time of The Year by Andy Williams: New holiday drinking game. Do a shot if you've ever heard this song while ice skating. Or while Christmas shopping at Westfield Century City Mall. Or… Well, you get the point.
7. Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer by Gene Autry: It's the classic under-deer story that we all know and pretend not to watch every year.
6. Carol of the Bells by Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Sure, this one isn't ideal for sing-alongs or karaoke, but it does wonders to cure those nasty winter doldrums.
5. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Bruce Springsteen: When the Boss tells you not to pout, you listen.
4. Do They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid: A slew of 80's rock stars pleaded with us all to "Feed the world" in this uplifting, albeit slightly depressing, Christmas classic.
3. Baby It's Cold Outside by Dean Martin: Who would have thought Dean Martin would be interested in getting a woman drunk and in his bed? As far as Christmas crooners go, they don't make them any smoother.
2. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland: Proving that the holiday is so much more than presents under a tree, Judy Garland's rendition is emotional, lovely and gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
1. All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey: It's joyous, it's gospel, it's – dare I say it? – merry. It's the gift of Christmas wrapped up in a riff-heavy bow.
