Well, I for one disagree.  I think the "bongos" version is not inferior
to the single version; it's just different.  I like it!

I agree with Ed.  I love the version she did on the Kate TV special at 
the piano, too.  The final single seems more like pop song while the other
two feel more like a Christmas song.  I guess since Andy hasn't been
around much of late I could infringe his copyright and say that each
version is perfect.
