The 10 best winter (non Christmas) songs ever.

I have written many pieces about Christmas Carols and thought it would be fun to do a list of just Winter songs. There really isn't much positive about the winter, other than the music!

Here they are, enjoy!

12.Sleigh Ride, Mannheim Steamroller- I have heard this so many times that I find the lyrics annoying! But I did make a list of 12 so here it is.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring-ting-tingling too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,
Let's go...let's look at the show,

11. Cold Rain and Snow, The Grateful Dead- They did a fun one for this season as well. The Grateful Dead always seem to turn up on the music scene even though Jerry is gone.

10.Harry Nilsson, Snow-
A low key, sentimental tune like this one, is just what some winter nights need! Billy Joel should have remade this one.

9. Winter Love, The Doors- Jim and company do another odd love song that is so hard not to listen to.

8. Its Marshmallow World in the winter, Dean Martin- This one is a goofy, let's feel good about winter, song. As with everything else, Dean nailed this one.

7. Susie Snowflake, Rosemary Clooney- Rosemary did this for the cartoon special that never really took off. The song was cute for little kids, and still is.

6. Winter Song, The Screaming Trees-
I love these wild head bangers from Seattle, and this hit was one of the many reasons why.

5.Let it snow- The weather outside is frightful but the fire... you get it I am sure. I am usually sick of this one by desert time...on Thanksgiving! But it has it's fan base for sure.

4. Jingle Bells- This was originally a Thanksgiving song that is now considered a Christmas Carol. I don't know how that happened, but kids love it and many of the parodies.

3. Baby its cold outside- Dean Martin comes back with Martina McBride with this favorite. Most people love this one that tells a story and paints a picture as well.

2. Frosty the Snowman- This of course was based on the popular cartoon and was sang by Jimmy Durante of all people. I loved this song and T.V. special growing up.

1. Winter Wonderland- Sleigh bells ring... This is a favorite of many people of all ages. It paints a great picture of a wonderful night.
