I think it's about 4 years old now. They also did a cover of the Paul McCartney song Wonderful Christmastime.

I LOVE Diana Ross' rendition of Wonderful Christmastime, and the album she re-released with that title.

Amy Grant "Grown Up Christmas List" - not realizing until this year it was first released on a David Foster album, WRITTEN BY LINDA THOMPSON JENNER (yes, her "I Have Nothing" - she wrote some real schitt!)

Just watched the Hollywood Holiday parade. Linda Thompson introduced her son Brandon Jenner who then sang "Grown Up Christmas List"! Man, it is a bonafied classic.

"Jingle Bells," Oscar Peterson

"Wonderful Mystery, 1st Mode" (Ancient Greek) (1967), from Christmas In The Holy Land

"Salvator Noster," Anonymous 4

What about non-holiday music you listen to during the season. For me, I play Digable Planets' Blowout Comb several times during the season, because it dropped right before the holidays, and was in heavy rotation that Christmas season after it came out.

Dr. John, ' Peace, Brother, Peace' - https://www.youtube.com/w...Fxny5rjWVY

.

Hmm... he's an atheist... so also satirical, as in questioning the benefit of love in the midst of all the suffering... I was going through my digital library, looking for holiday-ish things. After posting, thought about taking this out.

Randy Newman, 'He Gives Us All His Love' - https://www.youtube.com/w...OYlukEcc64

.

Kind of dark and dated... but, in Newman's satirical style, revealing ugliness of apartheid ... almost offensive... was going to delete this:

Randy Newman, 'Christmas in Capetown' - https://www.youtube.com/w...VyhQ4qnWeY

.

Edgar Winter, 'Save the Planet' - https://www.youtube.com/w...5fzUhD-B5M

.

And, cuz I posted Edgar, here's his brother with Dr. John, 1984 (because it showed up in the recs beneath the preceding video and I wanted to hear it and liked it).

It's about to be the winter solstice, not the equinox, but...

John Coltrane, 'Equinox' - https://www.youtube.com/w...Zyr0IDaRXQ

.

Third World, 'Jah Glory' - https://www.youtube.com/w...JShjTo0aYg

It was dropped at the end of 1992.

Because nothing says peace on earth, good will towards men like the closing track .

at the moment, classical versions of traditional songs performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Galliard Brass Ensemble.

Mediaeval Baebes - Of Kings and Angels (their version of 'We Three Kings' is my favourite)

Prima Luce's rendition of 'Gaudete', quite possibly the greatest
