No. 45: Montgomery Gentry, ‘Merry Christmas From the Family’ – Top 50 Country Christmas Songs

Montgomery Gentry's cover of this classic Robert Earl Keen Christmas song was released by the duo early in their career. In fact, No. 45 on our Top 50 Country Christmas Songs list might be more popular than the original, having reached the Top 40 on the Billboard country chart in 2001.

No matter who is playing it, the irreverent standard tells a story that country fans can relate to... or at least laugh at. Yes, it's the season to celebrate Jesus, but it's also time to embrace and maybe forgive family -- no matter how many wives or husbands they've had in the past year.
