Favorite Christmas Songs?

I guess Christmas is my favourite time of year and the songs are a part of that - there are so many good ones. I love O Holy Night too and Adeste Fidelis and Joy to the World - so many. I don't like In the Bleak Midwinter although I understand that many people do.

I used to love Christmas in the convent because every night before Compline we would walk throughout the monastery singing Christmas Carols - and then we would come back to the choir for Compline... just so sweet. I do hope that next Christmas I am back in the convent again - it just seems the right place to celebrate Christmas (although I did love celebrating Christmas with family children when they were young too).

Anyway, almost any Christmas songs are okay with me.

If Handel's Messiah is secular, then the Pope is naught more than a motivational speaker.

Another secular Christmas song, sort of the opposite of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." We have here a slightly disturbing but probably accurate vignette of a dysfunctional family at Christmas time, sketched by the inimitable Dwight Yoakam. Ah, life in modern America!

O Come, All Ye Faithful
Breath of Heaven by Sara Groves is another great Advent song.
O Holy Night
What Child is This?


Baby It's Cold Outside :blush: -- my fave is the Dean Martin/Martina McBride version
Silver and Gold (from Rudolph)
Dominick the Donkey
Same Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. It's emo but I love it anyway.

There are only two Christmas songs for me, O Holy Night and O come, O come, Emmanuel.

Oh yeah and that one, Joy to the world, the Lord has come, let earth receive her King.

Then there is Silent Night, and Away in a Manger, and What Child is this...

Okay, there may be a few more.....

The longer you talk (or type), the more you'll remember. It's called free association, or brainstorming. Sometimes it hurts.

I made a huge list of songs I plan on posting on Facebook every day during the month of December. I may start sooner since I have more than 25. When it gets to be like the week of I may post more than one
