BATTLE OF THE BANDS X

I've been on vacation.  Did you notice I was gone???

No?

Hunh.

Well, I was, but I am back now.  Just got home.  Whew.  (I wrote this bit yesterday and planned to post this morning, but no internet... and here we are!)



Anyway, today is December 15 and that means it is Battle of The Bands.  This is the last installment of Christmas carols for this year.  If all goes according "To Plan" next year BOTB will still be going strong and I can choose another three for your listening pleasure.

Please take a moment after you leave here to visit other sites hosting Battle of  The Bands today.


What's up for today?

Winter Wonderland.  You wouldn't believe how many fabulous versions there are of this song.  I had a terrible time narrowing the field.  I even enlisted my mother's aid to knock out one of the options.  Yes... I needed HELP.

First up is a version that I grew up on.  My mom had this version on a record, so it has been a favorite for a long time.  Steve and Eydie sing so well together.  I particularly love the way that this one ends.




Versus The Andrews Sisters.  I love the harmony in this version.




Obviously, I really like BOTH versions for different reasons.  I won't say which one I like MOST.  However, I want you to tell me which one you like most and why.  Place your vote in the comments below.  Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
