On Nog, this eloquent foursome make merry and bright in a collection of standards that run from "Do You Hear What I Hear?" to "Let It Snow," this one played as a campy lounge act for almost as many laughs as the Bobs's hilarious "Santa's Got a Brand New Bag." Levity aside, the Blenders' arrangements of such classics as "The Christmas Song," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and others, blending jazz and a cappella techniques, classic choral music, R&B;, and pop, frankly leave hundreds of other such Christmas covers out in the cold.
