For some time I have threatened to release an all-encompassing master list of holiday songs. The time is now for this to happen. I shall try to post one each day through Advent and perhaps beyond. Sometimes the songs will come with extensive comment. Other songs need no explanation. If you feel that the versions I list as the greatest are in error, please prove me wrong. They will occur only in the order I think of them. Let's begin.
Merry Christmas Baby - Otis Redding
This song makes me exceedingly joyful whenever I hear it. I don't think there's any way to make it better. It's perfection.
Honorable mention for other good versions: B.B. King and Bruce Springsteen
