Christmas Music for 2012 season

Since the Christmas decorations are all out and people are getting in the holiday spirit (well most are), I figured I would put up some old Christmas favorites here.

What Christmas collection does not have 'Big Daddy' Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas:

Mr Ives was a serious actor in his day. His musical side is rarely appreciated, but it does live on in old Christmas TV specials.

Twelve Days of Christmas

The Little Drummer Boy (David Bowie and Bing Crosby)

(Mr Bowie pissed off Bing by doing his own schtick to the song)

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause (Jackson 5)

12 Days of Christmas (Doug and Bob McKenzie)

Just some fun songs for the holidays.

Oh Come All Ye Faithful- Luciano Pavaratti, Vanessa Williams and Viena Boys Choir SNL version

The above is one of the best versions of a Christmas carol out there. I still get moist eyes hearing its beauty.

(The Hulu site can be problematic for some but that is the only place I could find this version of the song.)

So This is Christmas (John Lennon) There are some rather graphic videos with this anti-war song but I found one with the album cover:

Silent Night (Libera) I don't like local choirs as they let anyone sing. However, Libera is a beautifully sounding boys choir from the UK:

And since it is Christmas weekend and I do have a sense of humor:
Christmas with the Devil (Spinal Tap)
