Don't forget Tex Logan's "Christmas Time's A-Comin'" and the definitive recording by Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. That seems to get covered by someone new every year, though they're never up to Bill's standard.

One the oldest Christmas songs sung today must be "The CHERRY TREE CAROL " included, I believe, on Joan Baez' first album. I hadn't heard the song before 1960 so for me hers is the definitive recording.
