And in honor, one of my two favorite Christmas songs:

Christmas Wrapping

My other is Tori Amos's "Little Drummer Boy" but NOT the one that's available online from 2007. Her live version from wayyy back. It was the very first time I'd ever heard her--it was on radio, probably Vince Scelsa's show and I thought to myself, what the heck is this? It's rough, it's raw, and it's very very moving. The version currently online can't hold a candle to it.

Happy Holiday's, Ellen. I'm really fond of the David Bowie/Bing Crosby duet of "Little Drummer Boy" and whatever the song Bowie is singing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zMhSjDqvRs, but a close second now is this depressing buy oddly moving Pogues/McColl song that you probably already know, "A New York Fairytale" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuexO12nE00

Thanks Jim. I just watched the Bowie/Crosby video yesterday. It's lovely.

I don't know the Pogues/McColl one--will check it out.
