Impressive Christmas Performances Thread

[OCNewbie]

I wanted to share what is my favorite rendition of "O Holy Night" and ask if others had videos of preferably live performances of Christmas songs that they found particularly impressive.

This is "O Holy Night" by David Phelps of The Gaither Vocal Band. It starts fairly slow/traditional, but kicks into a different gear at the 4:48 mark. I think it's amazing.

The song itself starts at 1:24 (link should start at that point).

Wow, that was awesome! David Phelps has some kinda voice.
For my money, nothing beats Mariah's version though, man when she hits those high notes near the end I get goosebumps.

Why are some of the youtube links secure and some not (HTTPS and HTTP)?

(Sorry to derail thread, was just curious).

Not live, but Celine Dion's "O Holy Night" never fails to elicit goosebumps, especially when she lets loose 3/4 through the song. :$

I use HTTPSeverywhere, and it forces secure links if they're available.
