I learned of "Perfect Gift" here on Pricescope years ago. I am someone who still likes to "own" a piece of music on a CD or vinyl. It was terribly hard to obtain this song that way, but I managed. I really love it, too. It is one of the rare "popular songs" for Christmas (as opposed to traditional carols) I really like a lot. Thanks for putting it into the thread this year, missy.

Ditto!Sending you healing hugs and good thoughts for your upcoming surgery. (((Hugs))).
The truth is that many of the best Christmas songs originate with Jewish songwriters: take “Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree,” “Winter Wonderland,” “You're A Mean One Mr.Grinch,” “White Christmas”… So when you consider the great number of Christmas albums by artists ranging from Barry Manilow to Bob Dylan to Kenny G, it's not that strange that gentiles crafted some of the best Hanukkah songs: one of our favorites, for instance, is Sharon Jones’s funky Hanukkah bop "8 Days of Hannukah."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad you like it Holly.Thank you! My absolute, hands down favorite, best version ever ... IMHO.
What a beautifully haunting rendition. It's very moving.
This is one of my top faves.And a less formal version, but just as pretty.
One of my favorite Bach pieces; I walked down the aisle to this as played by a classical guitarist.
Not strictly a holiday tune, yet it captures the spirit of the season beautifully:
