P.S. - Good luck to everyone on their finals or midterms or whatever horrible traumas school may be throwing your way!
Artist: Yoko Kanno feat. Sakamoto Maaya
Title: Kissing the Christmas Killer
Album: 23JI NO ONGAKU
Language: English
Length: 4:27
Size: 10.2 MB
I'm not exactly sure how Christmas-y this is, but it's got Christmas in the title, and I'm always looking for excuses to put up more Sakamoto Maaya music. A very slow, gentle, sweeping kind of song. Not at all what you'd expect, considering the title. Maaya's voice is very high and beautiful in this song.

Artist: Jethro Tull
Title: God Rest.merry Gentlemen
Album: The Christmas Album
Language: Instrumental
Length: 4:15
Size: 7.78 MB
If you like flutes, get this song. Anyway, Jethro Tull is a really old band. I think they're from the 70s or 60s? Their music definitely withstands the test of time, however; it's folk music, and folk music always rocks. This is a jazzy, bluesy instrumental rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," featuring an amazing flutist as well as a whole lot of other instruments. It is very awesome. Get it get it XD

Bonus!: another Jethro Tull track, Holly Herald, only up for a limited time!
Artist: Libera
Title: Silent Night
Album: Angel Voices
Language: English
Length: 3:20
Size: 4.58 MB
I think this is the best version of Silent Night that I've ever heard. Boy's choir, beautiful singing (of course). This is probably the only chance I'm going to get to put this track up, since distributing Christmas music during not!Christmas is just weird. So take it, because I'm never putting it up again!

Artist: Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Title: Christmas Eve in Sarajevo
Album: Christmas Eve and Other Stories
Language: Instrumental
Length: 3:25
Size: 3.14 MB
This is that crazy intense rocking out version of Carol of the Bells that you hear everywhere. It's just one of those songs that everyone should have. I expect a lot of you already have this, but for those of you who don't, take it.

Artist: Charlotte Church
Title: Gabriel's Message
Album: Dream A Dream
Language: English
Length: 3:32
Size: 4.04 MB
This is one of my favorite christmas carols. It has an older, renaissance feel to it, and there's a really pretty harp in the back ♥. It's about the Annunciation, if that makes any sense to anyone. NOTE: This is .m4a, so plan accordingly: iTunes, Winamp, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and VLC Player can all play this file format.

Artist: Danny Elfman (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Title: What's This?
Album: The Nightmare Before Christmas OST
Language: English
Length: 3:05
Size: 2.87 MB
Another .m4a file (see note on the previous song). Woo! The Nightmare Before Christmas! I *love* this song. Jack has the best voice actor evar. Clever lyrics and oh man did I mention that I love his singing yet? <3.

Album: Eden
Language: Japanese
Length: 5:14

LAST AKINO ARAI TRACK for devil_lotus. I am not taking any more Akino Arai requests for a while. I need a break. @_@ Again, piano + her lovely soft voice. She sounds a little sad in this song.

Artist: Rie Fu
Title: I Wanna Go To A Place...
Album: I Wanna Go To A Place...
Language: English
Length: 5:11
Size: 4.74 MB
Anonymous request! It sounds like all the rest of Rie Fu's music: very laid back. Guitar + drums accompany her slightly husky voice. A nice easy track to listen to.
