Welcome to the Thursday Tunes! Each week, I will showcase music, whether new or old. Hopefully you will find something that interests you here!
My family absolutely loves Christmas music (yes, it is ironic because we’re Hindu). Part of it probably comes from the fact that both my sister and I attended Catholic school in middle and high school – but part of it is that the music is just so good! While I love the classic versions of all the Christmas songs, here’s a Christmas playlist with versions of these wonderful songs you may not be familiar with.
1) God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen – Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan

3) O Come, O Come Emmanuel – Enya
Album: And Winter Came - Enya
4) O Holy Night – Celtic Woman
Album: A Christmas Celebration – Celtic Woman
5) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Sarah McLachlan
Album: Wintersong – Sarah McLachlan
6) The First Noel – Josh Groban & Faith Hill

Great list of songs! The BNL/Sarah version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is also on my Christmas playlist - such a good one. I'll have to check out some of the others.
