my wife and I like the same songs, most of which you listed. A more traditional fave is Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Kelly sings it extremely well. I can hum a few bars...

Living in SoCal, I've appreciated Jose Feliano's Feliz Navidad (I Wanna Wish You a Merry Christmas)



A newish fave is an oldie, Still, Still, Still. Brought tears to my eyes, first time I heard it 6-7 years ago.

I'm not big on the Christmas songs. I don't dislike them nor do I crave for them. They are nice.

A couple off the beaten paths of Christmas albums is one done by James Brown and another done by Jimi Hendrix. I forget the albums names, I have the MP3 versions of them on my media computer.

Here's Jimi doing Little Drummer Boy/Silent Night/Auld Lang Syne

I think this is the entire mini album he did.

Here's a couple of clips from some of JB's Christmas albums, he did a handful of them over the years.

Again, they are not the typical versions that you hear on the radio or would be played in a typical Christmas gathering but I found them interesting to listen to.

Bah, humbug... not a big fan of Christmas music.

I do like Father Christmas, though.
