Is the feast day of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, if you live in the United States. It is a fairly modern feast day, but the rest of the saints were either people I had never heard of-- St. Defrosa, or St. Hermes-- or saints with funny names -- St. Ferreolus of Uzes, and Bl. Thomas Plumtree-- and none of them have any particular Christmas tradition associated with them. So, if we go with St. Elizabethe, this gives me a chance to showcase an American carol for a change. I Wonder as I Wander is an old Appalachian carol - or rather, a modern carol based on a much older fragment of a carol.
You are also going to get Tennessee Earnie Ford... mostly because it is hilarious, and wasn't supposed to be:
