'Tis the season... or it will be soon enough, anyway. I stumbled across this version of my all-time favorite Christmas tune and hymn of all time... which may just be be my favorite piece of music in general. Incredible:

Far a traditional sound I have to go with Perry:

Now days, the sound of TSO IS Christmas for me!

My daughter solo'ed singing Mozart's Laudate Dominum her freshman year in college for their Holiday Choir concert. I cried listening to her sing.
It became an instant favorite of mine.
This clip is obviously not her, but she did a super job.

It's not even Thanksgiving yet! Aren't you afraid you'll be sick of Christmas songs by the time the season rolls around?

A local radio station here (96 WHNN) started a 100% Christmas music format two weeks ago.

The ironies of seasonal music. Irving Berlin pens "White Christmas" . . . which you'd have to wonder if it would pass the P.C. tests of today. Then there's the conundrum of Manilow, Streisand and Diamond having "Christmas" hit songs, but not a single Chanukah/Hanukkah chart single among them.

My holiday favorite

Hey, Chear up, there is always Adam Sandlers' 'Happy Hanukkah'. And I like 'Feliz Navida' by Jose Feliciano. The Red Baron song is a close second. David Bowie and Bing Crosby did 'Little Drummer Boy' in the early 80's, I kind of liked that one too. Some waky ones during the 80's though.

Here's another great "modern" Christmas song:

Here's yet another great 'modern' unintentional Christmas song from another English bloke from 4 years later:
