I've got two more songs before that third ghost appears.

Joseph Spence, a musician from the Bahamas, "sings" Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. I love this recording because the only line he knows is the title -- yet it doesn't really matter. You know the lyrics, there're stuck in your head. So you can sing along with his muppet-like delivery.

On the other side of the 'meaningful song' continuum is I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day. This version is by Pedro the Lion is spare and plaintive, focusing the attention to the cynic-challenging lyrics

Happy Eksmas to all!
