I can reciprocate with a surprisingly hip little version of "Mele Kalikimaka" sung by some dude I'd never heard of before.

Given the current Gold/Silver Ratio, I suggest you switch to Gold Bells at this time.

Twisted Sister’s Christmas album is surprising good. Give their version a try.

Elvis has several versions of this classic. Here is one of the best:

Silver Bells - Elvis Presley

Elvis has his detractors for various reasons, but man could that guy sing!

Oh my goodness. I had forgotten about Kate Smith. As far as I’m concerned, the contest is over. You won.

Oh, wait. I forgot that Kate Smith was cancelled by woke fascists. She is now an unperson. So I guess the contest is still on.

Please add this alt version of Christmas bell themes to your list. It's from my niece and nephews in their multi-platinum group called ECHOSMITH. I love this version!
