I saved my favorite Christmas song for last. This song, when properly arranged, never fails to give me chills.
There are a ton of YouTube videos out there with just the album cover showing while the audio from a CD plays, and I think they're boring and have avoided them completely, but today I'm breaking that rule I set for myself because this version of the song has always fascinated me more than more traditional arrangements.
I have the cassette this came from, and it's a good one. Gene Eugene was an extremely talented guy, taken too soon (like another very talented and much loved guy I'm remembering today)... Close your eyes and enjoy his interpretation of O Come O Come Emmanuel.

I had to come by and 1) tell you that you were in my thoughts and 2) listen to the version you said you'd have posted. I love this song.
Here's to hoping you were surrounded by those who love you dearly.
