Country Christmas Songs

There are so many wonderful country Christmas songs - why not create a "country theme" for your Christmas holiday celebrations this year? Or, you could simply include country Christmas music as part of your holiday season music repertoire. Country music actually encompasses different styles of music, and you'll find that country Christmas music also includes a nice variety of genres.

I've selected seven country Christmas songs - a few of these are holiday classics that I'm very familiar with while others are recent discoveries. The songs I've chosen are: The Angels Cried, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, Pretty Paper, If We Make It Through December, Christmas in Dixie, That Christmas Feeling, and the ever-popular, Blue Christmas. I've also included resources to help you plan a country Christmas, such as country Christmas ornaments and decorations.

Happy listening - enjoy!

The Angels Cried

Alan Jackson and Allison Kraus

Perhaps the most beautiful country Christmas song I've heard to date, this version of "The Angels Cried", performed by Alan Jackson and Allison Kraus, is nothing short of superb.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Brenda Lee

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", written by Johnny Marks, has become a holiday classic. I think we'll be learning this one for our 2012 Christmas shows.

Pretty Paper

Willie Nelson

"Pretty Paper" was written by Willie Nelson, and was actually a hit for Roy Orbison, but I absolutely love Willie's version.

If We Make It Through December

Merle Haggard

"If We Make It Through December" is not only a Christmas song, but for the entire holiday season. Merle Haggard, who wrote this song, also has the perfect voice for this country favorite.

Christmas in Dixie

Alabama

"Christmas in Dixie" is a song by the band Alabama, off of their "Alabama Christmas" album. It harkens to the celebration of Christmas in the southern states of the U.S.A.

That Christmas Feeling

Sung by Anne Murrary and Johnny Cash

Canadian country singer, Anne Murray, sings "That Christmas Feeling" with the "Man in Black", Johnny Cash. This song is a recent discovery for me - it's one of those "feel good" songs.

Blue Christmas

Sung by Elvis Presley

Probably the most popular country Christmas song is Elvis Presley's version of "Blue Chistmas", which was written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. This is Elvis at his best - surrounded by talented musicians and adoring fans.
