4th: God Rest Ye...

One of the more well known alternative Christmas albums of recent years was Bright Eyes 2002 "A Christmas Album" featuring an array of special guests doing takes on "The Classics", one of the better known takes is Conor singing "Blue Christmas" which numerous bloggers have referenced for its infamous misery inducing properties.

A personal favourite from the album is this though, again with Conor on vocal duties this an altogether more lively affair and features the wonderfully unlikely out of character occurrence that is Bright Eyes wishing us tidings of comfort and joy
