Jedi by Knight

Around this time of year, the sounds of the season are constantly playing in my house and car: Celtic Woman, Straight No Chaser, Pentatonix, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and many others are regulars in my playlist.  I love all Christmas music, but my very favorite album is this: the sadly-rather-obscure John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together.

We had this album on vinyl when I was a kid, and I learned to use the record player just to be able to play it. It has some darling versions of classic Christmas songs:

• The Twelve Days of Christmas (BA DUM BUM BUM)
• Little Saint Nick by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem (RUN RUN REINDEER)
• We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Piggy pudding?!?)
• Silent Night in both German and English, with a brief history of the song

There are also wonderful original songs, most of which I’ve never heard covered by…
