Some great tunes posted. I really like this Bert Jansch version of

In the Bleak Midwinter.

I only found out last week that it's from a poem by Christina Rosetti:

Superb. It has a nice contrasting mournfulness about it.

I'm not really bothered with Christmas, but last year somebody posted this song from Frank Sinatra. So you can forget your long haired or shaven haired oiks and listen to the diction, phrasing and projection of a REAL singer, rather than a grotesque publicity created alternative. I would add that I'm not a particular fan of Frank Sinatra but I can tell the difference between talent and trash.

The only Christmas song I will ever need, that sums up my feelings about this magical time of year...

Carly Simon's The Night Before Christmas

It played in the credits of a movie I liked, Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin and Adam Sandler.
