Wow, that is quite a selection of very different versions! Of these three I like the Pentatonix best, but I think they all show that a good song is almost indestructible.
When I was young, Joan Jett's cover was the least traditional part of my mum's Christmas rotation. So while it is probably not the best version, it is a special one for me.

I have to go a little early or I won't be able to do it. So don't listen for 2 more hours. My contribution is Christmas music humor. What made you snicker first?

The Grinch is my favorite but not a choice. I will pick I'm getting nuttin for Christmas because my dad sings that to us every year but he You're instead of I'm.

I'll go with Grandma. We had a local Mardi-Gras themed version in New Orleans called "Grandma got run over by a King Float" Nuttin for Christmas is an annoying song. And I'm scarred for life by the stupid hippopotamus song because when he was in Kindergarten his class sung it for the winter assembly and Sally got snookered into making a bunch of stuffed hippos (big and small) that became cushions in his classroom. I still have the pattern on my computer. And then poor Alex got sick and didn't even get to participate.

Aw poor baby. I always feel so bad when one of mine have to miss something because they're sick. As if being sick isn't bad enough. In solidarity for little Alex, I will not pick hippopotamus but Reindeer instead.

He looks unhappy. Poor little guy.
My pick is Grandma dying at the hoofs of a reindeer.

I like Grandma best, with Nuttin' For Christmas coming second. Apparently I wasted many opportunities in my youth.
