So how many awesome versions of 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)' are there?

The answer is lots, and I will post them here. It's one of my favourite Christmas songs because it somehow manages to be upbeat and festive whilst being fundamentally downbeat and being lyrically comprised of loneliness and despair. Overlook that and enjoy its brilliant melody instead. Merry Christmas!

The Original:


Death Cab For Cutie's achingly beautiful cover:


Slow Club's incredibly faithful cover:


The Boss!


Saccharine pop punk version by Anberlin:


MP3 of a rockin' version by the wonderful Scholars

And finally, my own version, featured on my Charity Christmas Album, which is...oh yeah! Now available to download on a pay what you want basis from my Bandcamp page!



Happy holidays!
