Funny Christmas songs are the perfect way to lighten up the holiday season. You may hear these songs on the radio, or find them online or in a music store. There are many to choose from, with classics, new versions of old favorites and even whole CDs of Christmas humor to enjoy. Let laughter relieve any stress that comes from preparing for company, shopping, and tackling that to-do list. Here are some suggestions to add some laughs to the Christmas season.

Classic Favorites
These funny Christmas tunes have been around the block and back, but their lyrics are well-known and they still bring a smile. Search for them online or in your favorite music store. Chances are you'll catch a few on the radio this year and find yourself singing along and giggling.

  • "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"
  • "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"

Revised Lyrics
Give this a try yourself, because it's easy to make your own lyrics to Christmas songs you already know. Try "Jingle Bells," "The 12 Days of Christmas" or "Let it Snow" for some easy starters. You can find many rewritten versions of these favorites with a simple Internet search. Kids, especially, love to change the lyrics to their favorite songs, often coming up with hilarious versions. Get inspired by what you can find, and then create your own songs this year.
