As we get into the final week before Christmas, I will continue to post some of my all time favorite holiday recordings, sans any type of theme to tie the songs together. First up is one of my all-time favorite versions of "What Child is This" by Vanessa Williams. Such a haunting version with some jazzy guitar.
Next is Perry Como with a unique Christmas tune which may be considered obscure these days. Shame though because the song really embodies the spirit of Christmas from the gentle melody to the children's choir and the European style of the music.

Songs for the Christmas Season 6
Today I have two of the season's most timeless and familiar songs by two of recorded music's best-known crooners. First up we have Perry Como's classic, "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays."
Next up is a song I feel should always be played back-to-back with the first. It's Andy Williams on "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" which has become a Christmas staple since the mid-1960's and deservedly so.
