December 25: For Unto Us A Child Is Born – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
December 24: A Baby Just Like You – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
From one of my favorite Christmas albums, it's John Denver & The Muppets singing A Baby Just Like You. I miss John Denver.
December 23: Blues for Baby Jesus – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Almost 6 minutes of blues is coming your way with Blues For Baby Jesus by Gary Mann! Just something a little different for Christmas Eve Eve.
December 22: Christmas Is For Children – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Apparently, Christmas Is For Children, at least according to Glen Campbell.
Frankly, I think that's too limited of a view 
December 21: This Baby – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
When planning this year's 25 Days, I intentionally slotted today's song — This Baby by Steven Curtis Chapman — for the 21st of December. Amy & I have always liked this song, and given that December 21 was our child's due date, I just thought it would be fun to tie the two together.
However, Wesley had other plans and arrived on December 16 instead! I'm going to have to have a talk with our son about sticking to schedules! 
December 20: What Child Is This – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Do you know what group recorded the theme song for the original Hawaii Five-O TV show? The same group that plays What Child Is This today! It's The Ventures with a high-energy instrumental!
December 19: Little Boy Who Couldn't Find Christmas – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Hey, it's another depressing kid song relating to the holidays! I'm wondering why these were ever written, to be honest. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans sing 1954's Little Boy Who Couldn't Find Christmas.
December 18: Some Children See Him – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
Every Christmas needs a little Mannheim Streamroller. Here's your dose for this year with Some Children See Him.
December 17: The Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
The New Classic Singers pull out their vocal chops and give us a choral rendition of The Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy… because they can!
December 16: Santa Baby for The HIP – Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music 2011: Navidaddy
The HIP is a mall located on the northwest side of Chicago. It's an acronym for Harlem Irving Plaza, having first opened in 1956. Because of the land-locked nature of the property, it has a very interesting footprint, growing through creative expansion. It originally was an outdoor mall that was converted to enclosed in the late 1970s. While not glamorous, it boasts one of the highest occupancy rates for malls in the area, and is a place I locally grew up with.
A few years ago they stuck Santa Baby for The HIP on their website as part of their Christmas promotions. It's cheesy, that's for sure, but in sort of a fun way.
