A surprisingly successful Christmas mashup II

Credit to my brother for making me aware of this medley: I'm impressed that Mindy Gledhill alternates between two Christmas carols that aren't the most obvious fit.  Her "Patapan/O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" medley has captured my attention this year for its ingenuity.  She sings both carols with equal conviction, and the timbre of her voice brings to mind a blend of Suzanne Vega, Petra Haden, and Shawn Colvin.  

I thought I'd heard every Christmas medley by now, but this is a pairing of carols I would not have imagined.
