I'm like so fussy about holiday music. Here's a playlist I have for Christmas. The ones in bold I just bought at iTunes. The John Williams ones are from Home Alone, of course.
  • "You Can Tell the World" - Simon & Garfunkel
  • "Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child" - Percy Sledge/NY Stage Orchestra
  • "Children Go Where I Send Thee" - Natalie Merchant
  • "Adeste Fideles" - Bing Crosby
  • "Ave Maria" - New London Choir/London Philharmonic Orchestra
  • "O Holy Night" - John Williams
  • "Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano/London Philharmonic Orchestra
  • "Amazing Grace" - Cissy Houston/London Philharmonic Orchestra
  • "Go Tell It On The Mountain" - Ben E. King/NY Stage Orchestra
  • "Auld Lang Syne" - Jose Feliciano/London Philharmonic Orchestra
  • "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" /"We Three Kings" - Barenaked Ladies (With Sarah McLachlan)
  • "I Believe In Father Christmas" - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
  • "Carol of the Bells" - John Williams
  • "Happy Christmas & Give Peace A Chance" - John Lennon
  • "Christmas" - The Who
  • "Somewhere In My Memory" - John Williams
  • "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - John Williams
No McCartney. You hear that song more and more each year, isn't it true?

    We love the Barenaked Ladies holiday CD. Sarah Mclachlan is great addition to the tune (it's my favorite holiday song). Her holiday CD isn't bad either -- Wintersong (2006). Check it out!

    Thanks, J.

    Yeah, Barenaked Ladies' boppy God Rest Ye Merry was a pleasant surprise: a version not dripping heavy with sentiment but still reverent.

    And her voice is marvelous, in harmony.

    I will check 'em out!

    I agree, the Barenaked Ladies tune is great. I bought it from iTunes last year after hearing it on XM. Though I think I'll skip that one if I ever have any of my traddy friends over for the Holidays...

    Trad friend: "Wow, this is really good, who sings this one?"

    Me: "Um, well...Barenaked Ladies."

    Trad friend: "Scandal!"

    Funny, funny, Matt.

    Well, at least you have traddy Catholic friends to scandalize! :-) Stick with Adeste Fideles!

    All my traddy friends are Protestant! :-) So they are de facto scandalized by me!

    Pax and Blessed Christmas.
