christmas countdown: #3 - nichole nordeman's "do you hear what i hear"

We're getting down to the wire! Are there really only two weeks until Christmas??

For my number three pick (and number two and number one), I'm getting back to the real meaning of Christmas. Lyrically, this song doesn't say a lot, but it's about the actual birth of Jesus. Almost every other version of this song is pretty corny, and not fun to listen to because of its clunkiness and heavy-handedness. But the very cool Nichole Nordeman makes this song light, smooth, slick and even a little groovy. 

It's nowhere to be found on YouTube, but here's a link to play the whole song online for free: "Do You Hear What I Hear" by Nichole Nordeman on Yahoo Music.

Listen to those drums! Those echoes! That la-da-da interlude!

Yes, everyone. Only two more weeks until Christmas!!
