MP3: David Åhlén - Tell me the story of Jesus
There are exceptions to every rule. I consistently profess my grinchiness, yet I seem to keep posting Christmas music. However, please do keep in mind: for every exception there are dozens more that do not and will not ever make the cut. Anyhow, as much I don't care for the overwhelming majority of Christmas music, I will always appreciate songs of true devotion despite my status as a non-believer. Jingle bells and Santa Claus: no, absolutely not. Never. "Tell me the story of Jesus" -- yes, because that is what the season is supposed to be about and, as always, David Åhlén is unmatched when it comes to expressing his spirituality in a beautiful and heartfelt manner.
