Though 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer' isn't among my favorites either, for better or worse, both the constant requests and BIG tips have made it now an annual mandatory Xmas 'sing-along' prerequisite. This is THE christmas 'NOVELTY SONG' in which EVERYONE in the entire audience seems to enjoy getting into the act. Yes this song has really ridiculous lyrics & simple chords & melody, but that's just the reason for it's continued popularity. Not only do general audiences request this song, but I get a LOT of Grandma aged audience members asking for it as well, with them first to join in & get into the act.

That said, my all time favorite Christmas songs are: "The Christmas Song", "Merry Christmas Darling", "Sleigh Ride", "I'll Be Home For Christmas", "White Christmas", and "Christmas Time is Here".
