OT: Getting in the Xmas Spirit... Post em up!!

[Guest]

This has been my favorite Xmas song for the last few years....

Somewhere in my memory. The video here doesn't quite get it, but John Williams is a genius. From Raiders to Schindlers, the man is a genius at evoking emotion.

From my favorite Christmas compilation album in childhood....

Love that song, except for the part where Bono sings "well tonight thank God it's them, instead of you." That is an awkward line that always made me cringe. Thank God it's THEM? Recently read that Bono also hated that line and told Geldof he didn't want to sing it. Geldof, who probably had more clout at the time (my, how that has changed), told Bono to just shut up and sing it.
