6 Funny Country Christmas Songs

Christmas is a time of love and laughter and stress. Lots and lots of stress. While we try to focus on the joy associated with the holiday and the reason for the season, sometimes we get overwhelmed with the need to make the perfect meal or keep all sides of the family happy. So, for those times you find yourself ready to drown in eggnog, we’ve compiled a list of funny holiday songs to lighten the mood, or to just make you feel better about your own situation.

Brad Paisley “Penguin, James Penguin”

This is a fun, goofy tune that you’ve come to expect from Brad Paisley. As you can likely guess from the title, it’s a play on James Bond. This tale of “Santa’s secret spy” explains how Santa “keeps tabs” on the little boys and girls, along to fiddle and steel.

Montgomery Gentry “Merry Christmas from the Family”

We sometimes kid ourselves when trying to create the perfect holiday party. Montgomery Gentry (covering Robert Earl Keen) tell it like it is in this tale of how family gatherings really go. You have to love any song that begins, “Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party.”

Joey +Rory with Wynn Varble “What the Hell (It’s the Holidays)”

Songwriter Wynn Varble is known for his wit. In this tune he chronicles the little indulgences we let ourselves take during this special time of year. A few extra sweets won’t kill you, but listen all the way through this word of warning before going too far.

Kristian Bush “Thinking About Drinking for Christmas”

Kristian Bush’s new release lays it all out there. When the family is headed over for the holidays, you pray the beer doesn’t run out. No need to hide it, we’ve all been there.

Joe Diffie “Leroy The Redneck Reindeer”

What happens when Rudolph gets sick and has to call his redneck cousin Leroy to save the day? Joe Diffie offers this countrified Christmas tale that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Ray Stevens “Redneck Christmas”

“I love a redneck Christmas, you buy one gift and that takes care of your cousin and your wife,” Ray Stevens sings. The singer doesn’t pull any punches in this tune of a redneck holiday celebration.
