...chimney tonight." Sexually explicit enough for ya? The title track - which lyrically is just another song about being alone or lonely on a holiday that's meant to reunite loved ones - was sung as a cry of sexual deprivation. Elvis' "White Christmas" borrows heavily from the 1954 doo-wop version by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters; but most of the other renditions are not so extreme. He does an excellent, committed "Silent Night," with careful intonations that his Tupelo elocution teacher would've been proud of (a soft hammering of those final t's).

...technical legerdemain and vaulting athleticism, LOTR can't match K?, Cirque's Las Vegas martial-arts extravaganza. The Toronto show's battle scenes are pedestrian, and toward the end, a group of fierce warriors breaks into a heavy two-step, like clumsy backup singers in a doo-wop group. But this isn't an all-singing show, and it certainly isn't all dancing. It is a musical that becomes a spectacular morality play, an adventure with a soft and stricken heart...
