There was an amazing cover I heard of this song from a local female jazz singer, but her names escapes me...

I love this song! I have a CD called Christmas Cocktails by Ultra-Lounge - it actually says on the front of the CD case Hi-Fi Holiday Cheer from Santa's Pad. Tee hee! It has this song on it. I also have one called Yule B Swingin' that's fabulous too!

My other fave holiday CD is called "The Night Before Christmas - a musical fantasy" by a group called Sounds of Blackness, they're a gospel choir. I had never heard this group and the first time I put it in the player and started it, there was this wonderful, soulful humming right at the beginning that gave me goosebumps and I thought "This is gonna be awesome!!"

Gender:

I just downloaded The Killers' new Christmas song "Don't Shoot Me Santa." Pretty damn funny.

If I'm listening to traditional stuff, I like "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

I bought Vincent Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas CD and I love it! It reminds me of childhood Christmas memories--the best kind.

Celtic

Gender:

I have a soft spot for the Celtic Woman Christmas Event (no special reason of course…*laughs*). The performers are Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, Hayley Westenra, Méav Ni Mhaolchatha, and Chloë Agnew and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. The young woman in pink, Chloë Agnew is still a teenager, I believe:

This is from the original Celtic Woman show, but to me it has a Christmas flavor.
