Yes, it's that time again! Christmas--can you believe another year is almost to its end? It's also time for Battle of the Bands, the blogging event first introduced by our friends at Far Away Series and StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. This event happens twice each month on the 1st and 15th and conveniently these days fall on Mondays this December. The premise is simple: Listen to the songs presented below and then in the comments vote for your favorite and tell us why you liked it. Then visit the links listed near the bottom of this post for more Battle action Since we are in the holiday season, I'm going to use a song with a holiday theme for this Battle.
Johnny Cash "White Christmas"
When I think of Christmas I think of someone with the initials J.C. Who could the singer be who has these initials? Johnny Cash? His name doesn't stand out for me as a Christmas icon, but his initials fit the bill. With a song of the season, from one of his Christmas albums, I offer Johnny Cash's rendition of "White Christmas".
Judy Collins "White Christmas" (1996)
Another J.C. could be Judy Collins. Again, she's not someone I would associate with Christmas, but she sings the songs of the season quite beautifully. Here she offers a version of "White Christmas" in a live performance at the amazing Biltmore Estates in Asheville, North Carolina.

The results of my Battle will be announced on Monday December 8th. I'm still dealing with my travels back east to tend to the affairs related to the passing of my mother so posting at Tossing It Out may remain a bit iffy on my blog as internet time has not been as easy to find as it is when I'm at home just living my normal life.
Cash got too much twang for you? Is Collins too much of a bore? Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?Which do you prefer? Please vote on your favorite before heading outside to play in the snow.
