To write this post I did a lot of research into the "Top Country Christmas Songs." I then promptly ignored all of it and went with my gut instead. First up is a Randy Travis original from his 1989 album, An Old Time Christmas. I should warn you, this one's real country. Not any of this "new-country" BS. Here's Meet Me Under the Mistletoe.

If you weren't a country fan before that song, you're probably not one after. Let's see if we can ease the transition a little better.
For a while I was wondering where I could fit Taylor Swift into this blog. Though her Christmas album wasn't a huge success, it was recorded early in her career when she was still clinging to her country roots. Probably the best song on the album is one she wrote, Christmases When You Were Mine. Give it a listen:

Last but not least is a personal favorite of mine. It's upbeat and catchy and I even find myself listening to it at random times throughout the year. Here's Oklahoma Christmas by Blake Shelton feat. Reba McEntire.
