Matthew Byrne's Serving Girl's Holiday from his 2015 EP Sing Through The Heaven and Skies has been in my Christmas rotation since its release. It’s wistful with great vocals.
I don't know too much about its origins of the song except that it is old (translated from Middle English kinda old) and that Byrne's rendition leaves out references to a holiday tryst that can be found in early versions of the text.
Check it out above or hear it, and a bunch of other cool Christmas songs from Newfoundland artists on the 2020 Newfoundland Christmas Playlist.
