The Barenaked Ladies holiday album is fantastic for a variety of reasons: it has Christmas and Hanukkah songs on it, it has originals as well as classics, and it combines heartfelt sentiment with humor.  My absolute favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night,” and while I usually prefer a swelling, haunting version, BNL’s take on this tune really does it for me.
