Comments on: Top 10 Christmas Song Performances of All-Time (well, this year anyway) http://www.retrohound.com/top-10-christmas-song-performances-of-all-time-well-this-year-anyway/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:10:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Elijah http://www.retrohound.com/top-10-christmas-song-performances-of-all-time-well-this-year-anyway/comment-page-1/#comment-1814 Elijah Wed, 22 Dec 2010 15:52:35 +0000 http://www.retrohound.com/?p=1880#comment-1814 The list's #1 IS NUMBER ONE, AA's "Angels..." is a rendition that can never be topped. As for the rest of the list, :-/ The Stevie Nicks tune (you mention under the U2 song description) is marvelous, and sorry but you're wrong, Christmas is NOT about Jesus. The origins of this "celebration" are clearly portrayed in the Bible and loads of other litterature concerning amongst other things pagan worship (Osiris/Isis to name a few names). Just do a search and it's there to find. Here's a page on Facebook about some of it: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=2214817204 Happy new year to all! :-) The list’s #1 IS NUMBER ONE,
AA’s “Angels…” is a rendition that can never be topped.
