"Light My Way," The Bangles (RCAM)

I've always been a Bangles believer, so I'm surprised this 2006 holiday ballad managed to slip past me until now. If you remember any of the group's big production ballads, this won't sound particularly unfamiliar to you. I should note that a lot of folks like to sneak their cover of Paul Simon's "Hazy Shade of Winter" in as a Christmas song, which kind of fits if you're looking for a darker holiday hue. (Feel free to do the same with the original.) Oh, and the band back in its heyday did a Beatles Fan Club Christmas-style record, "Bangle Jangle Christmas," in 1983, and reissued it in 2004 with fresh greetings. The band just sold the last nine copies of the reissue to its fan club.
