Holiday Music: Brian McKnight - "The Christmas Song"

Christmas may still be more than a month away as this is being written, but there's a flood of new holiday music out, so over the next couple of days, yours truly will share some of the better stuff with you. In addition to Ledisi's "Be There for Christmas," which was posted earlier, here's Brian McKnight's smooth, soulful updated version of the holiday classic "The Christmas Song." It's off his 2008 holiday album, I'll Be Home for Christmas, which came out back in October. For more on new Christmas/holiday-themed albums, check out the list of 2008 R&B Holiday Albums. Next week reviews of some of the albums on the list, including ones by Aretha Franklin, Ledisi and Brian McKnight himself, will be posted here.
