I love this performance of Ding Dong Merrily on High by Celtic Woman - it's so joyful.

That is a great rendition, love it!

I also have to listen to John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.
I know that sounds stupid, but seriously check it out, it's my favorite Christmas album.

Many sung it after (and just as beautifully) - but Judy Garland first sung it in the "Spirit of St Louis" movie in 1944.

Judy Garland – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Video from Movie)

Amazing backstory to the tune:

The song "began with the melody," Martin said. "I found a little madrigal-like tune that I liked but couldn't make work, so I played with it for two or three days and then threw it in the wastebasket."

Luckily, Blaine had heard the tune, too — and told Martin it was too good to throw away. "We dug around the wastebasket and found it," Blaine recalled. "Thank the Lord we found it."

I thought I'd bump this because, well, hello...it's Christmas! And because I've been down the YouTube rabbit hole and found some things I love that I hadn't heard before. Like Love is Christmas by Sara Bareilles.

She was actually the first person I heard sing that song. It gets overshadowed these days but it's still my favorite version too!

Samesies. It's a more intimate rendition than others.
