One of my favorite memories was seeing Andy Williams perform this live when his Christmas concert came to Salt Lake City. I couldn't believe how well he could sing at his age. One of the best concerts I've seen.

And a little nod to the Jewish side of my family

I'm impressed...I think this is the best version of the Dreidel Song ever!!!

...and now for something completely different, here is one of my perennial Christmas favorites by my favorite operatic tenor of the moment. Dedicated to @whipped guy and all the other opera lovers on the forum, live from a Christmas concert telecast in 2008 from Dresden. Herr Kaufmann, as he has always done, sings the first verse in the original Français and the second and final verse in his native Deutsch!

They are talented and easy on the eyes. I kinda have a crush on the blond guy and the lone female singer

Here's yet another version. The gender switch was a nice touch. And could Joseph Gordon-Levitt BE any cuter?

Wow, I didn't know the blond was gay!

I love Idina Menzel. This is one of my favorite Xmas songs - she sings it beautifully

Ok, it's no secret I'm a Tori Kelly fan, but throw in

Jennifer Hudson (!) and "Hallelujah" and...

well...I die in peace.
