Jussi had the definitive version of that song, that's for sure.

Too bad he was swedish, but I don't really hold that against him. Much.

I just watched the clip again, for the second time. What a magnificent voice. I can say in all honesty that is the the most moving rendition of Oh Holy Night I have ever heard. I must look for more of his music. 🙂

Well, we make allowences for talent like that. 😉

Not really a Christmas SONG...but at the company I used to work for, a few of us would always play this every year around Christmas time. I don't miss working at that company, but I do miss some of the people and little traditions like this.

As an aside, I can count Charles Wesley as an ancestor. It means nothing but I think its cool. 🙂
