All I Want For Christmas (Is You)

| Day 11 |




"All I Want For Christmas (Is You)"
by Ingrid Michaelson & Leslie Odom Jr.

Hey, remember way back on Day 10 ("Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" ) when I said that I wasn't going to include Mariah Carey's version of this song? Well, I kept my promise and didn't include her version. But, c'mon, it's one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time so I couldn't help but include it on my list. I almost went with the Michael Bublé version, or the one that Olivia Olson sings in Love Actually (one of the all-time great holiday movies), but I decided to include this incredible duet from Ingrid Michaelson and Leslie Odom Jr. I found this one while looking for a different cover version for this challenge and immediately fell in love with it. Both of them have stunning voices, and the arrangement is amazing. I'm definitely adding this version to all of my holiday playlists going forward.
