Christmas Music Thread

[EctoJohn]

I prefer the traditional Christmas music, the stuff written or performed most famously 40-60 years ago about.

Working in retail, you hear newer versions of the old familiars, and it bothers me, because when I go to sing along to them, the tempo is off, so it throws off my singing0.

Sometimes they even alter the lyrics, which isn't good either.

And now for something completely different...

I happen to be an anime fan, so here's one from anime that's Christmas themed.
I had another, but I couldn't find the full version of the song that's linkable.

Holy Night

My favorite is one Kathy Mattea did almost 20 years ago, "Mary Did You Know".
