Get ready, people. I have a truckload of new Christmas music for ya!

Christmas is by far my favorite time of year. I’m a HUGE Christmas nerd. In fact, this is the first in a series of Christmas-themed toplist posts I have planned for this season. Oh, yeah. I’m spreading Holiday Cheer. Whether ya like it or not!

The first in the series of Christmas list posts is this one, new Christmas music. Of course, I’m taking a rather loose view of the term “new.” I’m going to adopt Stephen Merchant‘s definition of “New Music,” which is – “Music you’ve not heard before.” :s)

So, here we go.

Jd Webb – Everything I Need This Christmas
Of course Jd is first! He’s my boy! Besides that, he’s also come out with the catchiest and most singable Christmas song in the history of ever.
Everything I Need This Christmas by Jd Webb

Barenaked Ladies – Elf’s Lament
It’s a Christmas song. About Organizing. How social justice-y awesome is that? ELVES UNION NOW!

The Weepies – All That I Want
This was the JC Penney commercial Christmas song last year, so you may have heard a snippet of it. I’d be willing to wager you haven’t listened to it as a SONG, though, and it’s really gorgeous.

David Ryan Harris – The Little Drummer Boy
I can’t even talk. It’s David. Just…beautiful, hilarious, touching, moving, amazing…it’ll give you goosebumps. But that was summed up when I said, “It’s David.”

Winter Song – Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson
I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest Ingrid fan. Nothing against her, just…meh. But Sarah B? Frickin’ amazing. And the harmonies are really pretty.

Kat Parsons – She’s a Nutcracker
Just hilarious. Watch it. I’m not wrong.

Jd Webb – Mary Did You Know?
OK, I’m gonna start with Jd and end with Jd. Like I said, he’s my boy!

Congrats to my friend Jd Webb, who released his Christmas single today! You may remember me writing a while ago about the photo shoot for the cover of the single.

Here’s a really cool “behind the scenes” video that shows the “making of” the single.

Also in the video, that people who read my blog might be interested in – Charles Jones, Zane Carney, Sandy , and Me! Sadly, I’m dressed as Santa, so I’m harder to spot. I was at the studio when they were filming, but do I make it in dressed like the normal me? No. Only in a beard and glasses. Five bucks if you spot me.

Lyrics are below the video.

It’s lookin’ like it’s about to snow
The leaves on all the trees fell months ago
It’s Christmas, I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again the carolers are warming up to sing
All around you hear the sleigh bells ring

It’s Christmas, I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again I’m lookin’ out for some mistletoe
I just want the whole world to know

I got everything I need this Christmas
I don’t even need to make a wishlist
More than presents ‘neath the tree
When I’m with you it’s like the angels sing

I got everything I need this Christmas
As long as you’re here with me nothing’s missin’
So Santa don’t you worry ’bout me
Cause I got everything I need this Christmas

Everyone’s gathered round the tree
Laughin’ bout our favorite memories at Christmas
I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again all the presents wrapped so perfectly
Someone always tries to sneak a peak at Christmas
I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again having everyone we love here now
It makes me want Christmas all year round

I got everything I need this Christmas
I don’t even need to make a wishlist
More than presents ‘neath the tree
When I’m with you it’s like the angels sing

I got everything I need this Christmas
As long as you’re here with me nothing’s missin’
So Santa don’t you worry ’bout me
Cause I got everything I need this Christmas
