By far my favorite traditional Christmas song has to be "Minuit Chretien" although it's tough to find a really good rendition of it. The MoTab English version (O Holy Night) was fabulous but the English lyrics can't hold a candle to the French lyrics.
Here's a decent version, but I'd prefer the MoTab singing it in French.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I like Mannheim Steamroller's versions of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Pat a Pan
I may be small, but I'm slow.

Has anyone mentioned Sufjan Stevens this time around? I like his Christmas album. A little on the mournful side but perfect for the right time and mood.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

yeah. that box set is a bit more than an album. I can't remember how many songs there are, but it's well over 20. If anyone is interested, I can link you to it."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

I think I just counted 43 songs on the version of that set that I have on my iPod (playing it in the office right now).Originally posted by Commando View PostLast edited by LA Ute; 12-07-2009, 08:03 PM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

This is the only recording I can find, and it doesn't do it justice, but my H.S. Madrigal group sang this senior year, and it's an incredible song:
"Dear Little Babe"

Sure. He's a great talent, whether you like his stuff or not. So is Michael Bublé.Originally posted by BoylenOver View Post“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

These are not songs, they're albums, but good ones:
"Noel," by Josh Groban. He's a gifted vocalist, and David Foster produces. The interpretations, along with some new stuff ("Thankful" is great) are sweet Christmastime listening.
"Christmastime," by David Benoit. He's a jazz pianist and does some really nice things with both newer songs and old standards. For example, he takes the Vice Guaraldi "It's Christmas Time" song into a very nice new direction. Also great listening.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Perhaps my favorite Christmas song of all time.
Skip to about 1:40 if you want to skip the chit chat and get right to the music.Comment
