Jars featured as #3 best Christmas album of the year in CCM
CCM has elected the best 12 Christmas albums of the year, and put Jars at number three spot (Vickie Winans got the number one, followed by Relient K) and said some nice things about Christmas Songs:

Christmas Songs is the first fruit of Jars of Clay’s new label imprint, and a solid beginning. They turn some familiar classics on their ear (a lush “Wonderful Christmastime” and an atmospheric “O Little Town of Bethlehem), while evocatively illustrating other pristine seasonal moments (the tender jazz-flaired “Hibernation Day” and a show-stopping “Winter Skin”). Definitely one of the season’s best.

They think Hibernation Day is jazzy? They must be crazy. It's a great song, but not in the same category as A Charlie Brown Christmas, Coltrane's "Greensleeves" single or that first Harry Connick Jr Christmas record.

...am I the only one that hated this arrangement of "O Little Town of Bethlehem"?
