(Non) Classic Christmas Songs For Your Standing Desk

Everyone loves a good Christmas carol. The classic kind that you've known by heart since you were in kindergarten complete with hand motions and little red dots on your nose just like Rudolph. But that's not the kind of Christmas song we're going to talk about today. Because at UpDesk we're all about innovation. We're all about giving you new ideas to improve your productivity at work by using a height adjustable desk. And we're all about helping you find new ways to improve your overall health by experiencing just some of the benefits of a standing desk. We love the classics but we think new stuff is pretty amazing too. And let's be honest if we actually did list the ten best classic Christmas carols we'd probably miss at least a dozen of your favorites.

While we love classic Christmas carols just as much as the next person today we're standing up and stepping away from all the songs you already know and love. Here are our favorite new classics (or old classics sang in a new way) to get you and your coworkers in the festive spirit at the office.
