I missed #TuneTuesday #MyFavouriteXmasSong so i'm doing it on Wednesday because fuck it, there are no rules.

I generally hate all Xmas music except for King Diamond - No Presents for Christmas

I have a few. Silent Night is one. #SilentNight

I usually listen to The Temptations rendition every holiday. This particular one is the Live version from the 2002 TV special "Motown Christmas".

The #TuneTuesday theme is #MyFavouriteXmasSong.

I don't think I have favourites. But here's one I like. I maybe like even more because it is elusive. I used to have the Toys soundtrack on tape; it isn't on Spotify.

When Leon Redbone and Dr John sing "Frosty The Snowman" I donโ€™t worry about Frosty melting, I worry about the amount of 2nd hand smoke coming off the track.

i couldnt decide because one is a winter song and one is a christmas song (and reminds me of a friend that was super high at a denny's singing this 30 years ago).

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyFavouriteXmasSong. I first thought of Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", but since it has received a lot of exposure over the years, I decided to go for a lesser-known - but equally great - recording:

The Meditation Singers: The Spirit of Christmas (1968)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW2uL2DOpMA

This is one of the three songs the Meditation Singers recorded for the 1968 Checker Records album "A Christmas Dedication". Even with a couple of somewhat disappointing Soul Stirrers tracks on it, it is definitely one of the better Christmas albums in my household.

"The Spirit of Christmas" was written by Sonny Thompson and Maurice Dollison, and produced by Ralph Bass, all music business veterans and Chess/Checker Records regulars at the time. The song was also issued as a single, with "Blue Christmas" - another excellent Sonny Thompson composition - on the flip side. This has been easily the most-played Christmas 45 in my collection for the last decade or so.

I can't decide which version I like better, but No Doubt has a video for their cover so I'm listing that first.
