You are kidding, right? Both of your lists should be named "The Christmas Songs That Nobody Ever Listens To." Where the hell did you dig this garbage up from? With the exception of the Brenda Lee song, I haven't heard any of these songs...and something tells me that I wouldn't want to!

Spinner Staff is terrible. Nobody has ever heard this song. Stop trying to impress each other in the staff meeting by coming up with obscure black songs...that not only suck, but nobody has heard. Seriously - get out of the music industry, you are in it for the wrong reasons.

I waited to see all of the entries before commenting. this is the worst "best" list I have ever seen. "Alien For Christmas" being creative doesn't get you on a top ten list. If that was the case..The Vandals "It's My First Christmas As A Woman" should be number one. Lousy list! I own this James Brown song, but it does not belong on Ther Best. How about "Daddy Drank Our Christmas Money Again". I miss the classics! LOL

what is wrong with thses other commenters!?
obviously they arent even close to black culture. if you were a black kid, this is the best christmas song ever. its exactly what black kids in the ghetto are thinking. and its really good and catchy.
this is a bunch of white kids hoping for Celine Dion and Johnny Cash and other classic white artists.
dont diss the song because it wasnt a part of your life and you cant relate.
and dont even try replying to this comment saying that youre black and you hate this song. because youre probably just some old bitter white guy trying to prove me wrong.
this song is a monumental part of my Holiday Season.

"Santa, dont leave anything for me, I've had my chance you see" I'm sorry but those are some ROCKIN' lyrics if you ask me! He's begging santa to go straight to the ghetto and remember to leave them something. How can you not put that in the best category?! Prudes...
