And I've never found a version in which they did.


Me neither. Choir or bust.

This Mark Lanegan version is alright though, for a single performer. And I say this as someone who isn't a fan...



I think Lanegan's version is outstanding, simple yet stunning. But then again I'm a fan and yeah this is also one of my fav Christmas tunes.

Any of you familiar with "The Marvelous Toy" by Tom Paxton? That was my favorite as a kid.

If pressed to choose a favorite Christmas song today, I'd have to go with "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano.

The family details Martha Wainwright uses in this somehow give it a bit of a universal appeal:

"Mom's making dinner for twenty of Rufus' LA friends
Dad's with Lucy in New York City and probably thinking about Tracy
You're with your mother and your sister and your favorite brother-in-law
I am alone with some strangers in some crazy New Mexico lodge…"

This one is dedicated to Burt and Stip. No Christmas music discussion is complete without this classic from Robert Earl Keen:
