pulled from my current Christmas playlist

On this cold & quiet December 16th, a few non-traditional tunes for Christmas ....

Sarah McLachlan - River




Casting Crowns - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Live)




Sarah Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song



(live version of same song, with U.S. Coast Guard Band [for Ty])




Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds




Snow Patrol - You Are My Joy (Live) (a fantastic song that sounds tons better when not live)




Peggy Lee - Little Drummer Boy (music only)




Coldplay - Christmas Lights





KT Tunstall - 2000 Miles (Live) (try to ignore the shenanigans at the beginning of this clip & enjoy one of my favorite Christmas tunes ever)





Andrea Bocelli & Mary J. Blige - What Child is This (Live)




Ingrid Michaelson - Snowfall (Live) - (Again, lousy live; but it's the only version YouTube has [iTunes will do you right])




Diana Krall - White Christmas (music only)

Adele's just-released album = Greatness. Do yourself a favor and wander over to iTunes, post haste. It's one of those albums to which you'll listen from beginning to end and love every haunting note along the way.

My faves:

• Rolling in the Deep [Duh]
• Turning Tables
• Don't You Remember
• Set Fire to the Rain
• One and Only
• Someone Like You

Buy it.

I love this song.
