O Holy Night Videos

I’ve gotten out of the habit of posting these, but will try to remember. Judging from my mail, there are a few people who like them.

To kick off the Christmas season, I found a few versions of “O Holy Night.” I tried to pare the list down to something shorter, but could not. Every one of these is, in my opinion, magnificent. After each one I listened to, I thought, “THIS is my favorite version!”
