Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. As much as I love to jam out to “All I Want For Christmas is You” and dance my ass off to Wham! singing “Last Christmas,” I love sad Christmas songs. In my humble opinion, I’ve listed here the best of the best. They aren’t in order of quality, since I don’t believe there’s any merit in me telling you that Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song is unmatched (even though it is). 16 songs. 46 minutes. Many tears. Keep your hot cocoa in one hand, a tissue box in the other, and enjoy.
