Requested by Phoebe: What Child Is This?, sung by Chris Tomlin. So many lovely versions of it! This is one of them.
We’ll never post all the Christmas carols–but let’s post as many as we can.

By Request, ‘Gloria’
Several of you wanted to hear this today–a most unusual Christmas carol, performed by Michael W. Smith: Gloria. First nominated by SemperSoloDeoGloria
I got up a bit early today (very bad night!), so let’s see how I handle this blog.
By Request, ‘We Three Kings’
I love this carol! And I’m so glad Phoebe requested it: We Three Kings, performed with mucho gusto by Hugh Jackman, David Hobson, and Peter Cousen.
And now it’s time for root beer and a movie… ’cause I’m running out of gas.
By Request, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’
How could I have forgotten to post this? Thank you, Phoebe, for requesting it: Nat King Cole sings O Little Town of Bethlehem. (Anybody got a tissue?)
By Request, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’
Wow! This blew me away. I’ve got to wipe my eyes.
Requested by SemperSoloDeoGloria, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, sung by Amy Grant Just beautiful: I’m sure the LORD is pleased.
By Request, ‘Go Tell It On the Mountain’
Requested by Phoebe, Go Tell It On the Mountain–and do I really need to introduce Mahalia Jackson? Take one step backward if you haven’t heard of her!
‘Gesu Bambino’
You don’t think I’d let Christmas go by without posting Gesu Bambino by Pavarotti–did you? Perish the thought!
And here he’s got help from the Wandsworth School Boys’ Choir and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. You’ve gotta love it!
By Request, ‘Mary, Did You Know?’
I got a couple of requests for this hymn today. Well, first come, first served. This one, requested by “Someone” (which “Someone” is that? Is everybody getting bashful? Performed by Pentatonix.
‘The Wexford Carol’
Voice and cello, Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma–a wonderful treatment of the Wexford Carol. And with bagpipes, too! I love the combination.
Let’s keep our Christmas going!
One More Christmas Carol
I was about to close up shop for the day, but I couldn’t resist Good King Wenceslas as performed by the Irish Rovers.
Just for the record, Wenceslas wasn’t a king; he was the Duke of Bohemia. And he’s also a saint. That’s better than a king.
