Taste of Country's Top 50 Country Christmas Songs

By Billy Dukes/Taste of Country

It was clear from the very first spin that Alan Jackson‘s 2002 Christmas song would be more than just another wannabe standard. First, the voice — strong and fatherly, warm… like a plate of fresh gingerbread cookies. A gentle acoustic guitar accompanies a story that sneaks in a lesson of morality before allowing the angels to take over.

‘Let It Be Christmas’ is No. 1 on the list of the Top 50 Country Christmas Songs of all time because it’s an original that seemed instantly timeless. Jackson’t hit even charted that year, something very difficult to do with a swarm of new songs and covers each season. The entire ‘Let It Be Christmas’ album is a project worth keeping close come December 25. You could do much, much worse.

As an avid Alan Jackson fan, having every one of his CDs, when I saw this was up for order prior to going on sale in the stores, I HAD to order it immediately. Like all his other CDs, but even more so, he once again proved to be the fantastic artist that he is. I love this CD and made sure my daughter and granddaughter got it, too. Our entire family plays this over and over and it is always THE first Christmas album to played each year. Thank you, Alan Jackson, for giving your fans nothing but the best always.

I really enjoyed seeing the taping of "Let It Be Christmas." It was one of the best events of Alan's I have ever been to in Nashville. Thanks Alan for a great time.

This CD was my first AJ CD. I fell in love with Allan and his music right then. Since then I own all his CDs.

One of my most cherished lifetime memories is the trip we made to Nashville to the taping of Alan's Let It Be Christmas concert. So glad he includes his fans on such special occasions.
