Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule, and I have a short list of personal favorites.
Without exception all my choices not only
include the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular
order here is my forty second selection.
“The Twelve Days Of Christmas”
A traditional folk melody by English composer
Frederic Austin
Performed by The Spinners
