Around the Woods household at Christmas time, the voice of Perry Como can frequently be heard. It almost wouldn’t be Christmas to me without his voice. Here he is singing “Do You Hear What I Hear,” a song composed as a plea for peace during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.

Now this second one may meet with some skeptics. I completely understand. It’s Jon Anderson of Yes singing “O Holy Night.” You have to overlook the cheeseball music. That is a tall order, as you’ll hear. But I love Anderson’s voice, and have for 25 years. I’m not so thrilled with the woman who joins in around 1:50, but I really do like Jon.
