What's your favourite Christmas carol?

Date sort Score sort
I like alot of Christmas songs, but mostly traditional music sung by my Church choir. (Which, I actually get to sing in on Sundays!

But, my favorite are:
God rest ye merry gentlemen (In rounds!

)
Silent night (In Latin, it sounds awesome!)
Adeste Fidelis
I saw three ships (Although its more of a Carol than a church tune, I love it all the same.

)
The twelve days of Christmas, sung by the Muppets
Hark the herald angels sing



And many more.

Always loved "Greensleeves" so "What Child is This" is a favorite. Also love the haunting melody of "Mary Do You Know".

Those top the long list of beloved songs.

That's the song we did for our non-congregational carol this year.

As a child, I always got teary-eyed when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version of "Little Drummer Boy" came on. When I listened to the words, in my mind, it was all about a group of people bringing gifts for a new baby, but one little boy was too poor to buy anything. So, in the spirit of giving, he played a song -- the only thing he could do. And despite all the other gifts, THAT was the one that made the baby smile. I remember being asked what the song meant, and that was what (as a child) I interpreted. And I still get misty when I hear that version of the song. I can't find a version of it on YouTube, but it's a pretty standard recording.

Another favorite is Schubert's "Ave Maria." I've heard many versions, but this one in English done by Heart is my favorite. I love Ann Wilson's voice.



And my third pick is Tevin Campbell's rendition of "O Holy Night" from the album A Very Special Christmas 2. He was only (I think) about 15 when he sang this, and did so with a ridiculously powerful voice.

Mine too! As well as...

What Child is This
Fullness of Grace (non-traditional, new song by Keith and Kristyn Getty)
 
I majorly have Hark in my head. I'm still going from where I had to actually sing because everyone else was doing the descant - pretty impressive effort.
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Haaaark the herald angels sing! ---> *Has a respiration breakdown around about here*
