Another lovely seasonal piece by Rutter is his Candlelight Carol. It is lovely. I hope you enjoy it.

Today’s Seasonal Piece is another King’s Singers performance: “Born on a New Day”.
As with all their performances, the King’s Singers have a lovely tone quality to them. This song is also quite lovely. It is simultaneously relatively cheerful, nostalgic, and peaceful. I rather like it, and I hope you do, too.

Anther one of my favorites is (originally) a “plainchant” piece: “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”.
This version is not (technically) plainchant, but it is lovely.
It also is easy to find in Latin, which makes it excellent soothing, not-as-distracting music.
I hope you have a good Saturday.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I figured I’d jump on board with Fluffy’s series of “less common seasonal songs” with one I shared last year. It’s the “Christmas Donkey” song. Hence the title of “Christmas Donkey Edition”.
Yeah, about that title…
Wait. “They aren’t all good edition”?
Fluffy, did you change it?
I decline to state.
…
Anyway. Yup. Here it is again.
Enjoy!(?)

I am continuing the series on “Less Common Songs for the Season.” Today’s is another non-English song: Noel Nouvelet. I discovered this one last year, actually, and it has become one of my favorite less common seasonal songs to listen to nearly repeatedly.
There are two versions I am sharing today; they each have their own, separate feel.
The first is slightly slower, more mysterious, and beautifully haunting:
The other is another King’s Singers song version.
I hope you enjoy.
Have a lovely Wednesday.

I know it is normally bad form to interrupt a series after only a single day of it. However, this is absolutely worth it. Trust me.
A favorite music group of mine (Two Steps from Hell) released a Christmas Medley recently. (About two weeks ago, to be precise.) Thus, it is worth sharing.
It is made of more common songs. However, it is one of the best Christmas Medleys I have ever heard. (Possibly in part because they do not include “Silent Night.”)
I especially appreciate what they did with “O Holy Night.”
I hope you enjoy.

Hello, Fluffsters!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Today is not just Christmas, though. It’s also the last day of the “Twelve ‘Twelve Days of Christmas'” challenge, and it is successful!
Because, you see, I’ve been saving my favorite for last. It’s the Straight No Chaser Twelve Days of Christmas. And it’s absolutely worth it!
Enjoy! (And have a great Christmas!)

Hiya, Fluffsters!
Good news! We’re doing quite well with the challenge. Well enough, in fact, that you’re getting two versions today! They’re both “Geek” themed, though. So, yeah.
For the first one, the idea is great. The execution, however, is a bit less than wonderful.
The second one, like most versions, starts to get a little old. But at least it’s not trying to match orchestration.
Enjoy!

In the category of “droll”, I recently encountered a version of “Twelve Days of Christmas” I was not entirely sure what to make of. It is a redneck version. And I still do not know what to make of it.
Is this insulting? Is it amusing? Is it just… bizarre?
Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.

Hi, Fluffsters!
For a wholesome start to your week, here’s the Sesame Street version of “Twelve Days of Christmas.”
