I listened to the Low Christmas album today while setting up a small tree. Not bad.

#1"Christmas Time Is Here" Vince Guaraldi Trio

YesYesYes! So true.

There really isn't much I can add, here. Those are all wonderful songs. My favorite hymn, though, is "What Child is This." It's the same as "Greensleeves."

(Edited by MissSeptember at 10:49 pm on Nov. 29, 2003)

That's so NA.

yes, that hymn definitely kicks the shit out of all other hymns. even when john denver sings it (see my list above). i have a really good version of it that is just classical guitar. not sure who it's by, but it's one of the prettiest things i've ever heard.

No love for the Carpenters?! During the Christmas season, I like to listen to Bing Crosby, Manheim Steamroller, the Carpenters, and Andy Williams.

Anything from "A Christmas Gift From Phil Spector" is priceless. Also "Christmas Time is Here" is lovely.

I find this to be a good place to ask if anyone has a bootleg of the Features Christmas show from a few years back?
