Favorites?
Anonymous 4’s “On Yoolis Night” (whole album). Medieval carols sung by angels.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “The Lost Christmas Eve” album, “Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo” in particular. Traditional carols respectfully rocked out.

One of my favorites: The version of "Gabriel's Message" by Sting.

I have also developed a inordinate fondness for two variant of a song:

Elvis Presley Sings: "Blue Christmas".

Porky Pig sings "Blue Christmas"! (I fully admit...it is the people in the background that sound like they are wetting their pants laughing hysterically that I just love...:)

O Holy Night
Joy to the World (harmonies are FUN; I will also take the Creedence song just because)
Oh Come, Emmanuel or I Wonder as I Wander
No Eye Had Seen (Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith duet)

And I love Victory Girls, but I will fight them on “Mary, Did You Know?” At least the Kathy Mattea version. :)
