    Turn up the speakers

    If you don't have a good set of speakers, plug in a headset.

    A fantastic performance of 'O Holy Night' by Celtic Woman. If you are not interested in religious Christmas music it is worth listening to for the fantastic harmony and beauty of their voices. (They ain't exactly hard on the eyes, either.)

    If the lyrics of the song are offensive to you, don't click on the link.

    "Pretty" impressive. Josh Groban's version is impressive too....just not as pretty!

        I'm not the least religious, but stuff like this always gives me goose-bumps

        Magnificent!

                My favorite Christmas song and one of the most beautiful performances of it that I have heard. Thanks.

                  Even though I know they don't, the intonation, pitch and smoothness makes it very hard to believe that they don't lip sync. You just don't see that type of quality performance very often any more. Impressive whether you like the genre or not.

                    Not to take away from these ladies, but I still love Martina Mcbride's acapella version.

                      Don,

                      I'd still rather listen to James McMurty's version of "Choctaw Bingo", or Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama".

                      I think your Southerner's are rubbing off on me.
