Heavenly Hymns
We Three Kings vs. The Coventry Carol
There's definitely a touch of Easter in these two Christmastide hymns. (Yes, technically "We 3 Kings" is an Epiphany thing, but no complaints, remember...see the Fa-la-la Brouhaha announcement.) But, our greatest joys are tinged with sadness, are they not?
Choral Carols
Tomorrow Shall be My Dancing Day vs. The Holly and the Ivy
In a continuation of Christmas+Easter, these two carols face off in a battle of the ENGLISH CAROL. Really, can you get much more English than this? They're really, really Englishy.

The Christmas Song vs. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Is this the hardest choice you've had to make? Not ever, but about Christmas music?
Kids Kristmas
All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth vs. The Twelve Days of Christmas
Two! Twelve! Epic battle!
Enjoy the pretty lights. Except for "2 Front Teeth" - apparently this challenge has not yet been undertaken. Instead, I found the weirdest video. You're welcome.
(Seriously, why is there a mouse in the stocking HOLDING TWO FRONT TEETH?)
Ugh, that IS hard!! So mean, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Nat King Cole. His Christmas album is in heavy rotation in our house this time of year. But nothing gets the Christmas melancholy going like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." (Unless it's the bowdlerized Frank Sinatra version, then my disproportionate rage boils to the surface.)
ReplyDeleteI had to go with Judy on that one.

I've never heard Dorothy singing what is undoubtedly my favorite Christmas song (I'm tempted to vote for it from every computer I can find!)...all the sadder.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm voting for 12 Days because there's a Muppet version!
I just realized, it MUST be from "Meet Me in St. Louis"...which I've never seen!
