Although I loves me some Bing Crosby, I don’t listen to traditional Christmas music all that much. There are two songs in my music library that I always revisit each year, however – “Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis” by Tom Waits and “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues. Both are lyrical masterpieces.
Here are live videos of each along with two quality covers of the songs by other artists. Happy Holidays.
