My husband seems to have this weird aversion to Christmas carols.. I don't get it. I love Christmas Carols. Not because I'm religious or anything, but because they just make me happy. I think it must have to do with positive Christmas experiences.

So, my question to all you folks is do you like Christmas Carols? If so which ones are your faves? I'm trying to put together a list and these are the carols I like (and can remember.. let me know if that names are wrong...) but I'm torn on which artists do them the best:

- Angels We Have Heard On High

- Ave Maria

- Away in a Manger

- Deck the Halls

- Ding Dong Merrily on High

- Do You Hear What I Hear

- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

- Good King Wenceslas

- Hark the Herald Angels Sing

- It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

- Jingle Bells

- Joyful Joyful

- Joy to the World

- Little Drummer Boy

- O Come All Ye Faithful

- Oh Holy Night

- O Little Town of Bethlehem

- Once in Royal Davids City

- Silent Night

- The First Noel

- We Three Kings of Orient are

- While Shepherds Watched

I can find lots of Nat King Cole versions (which are good but not exactly what I'm looking for) but I don't wanna waste my time doing it individually if someone knows the name of a good album of Carols or something.

Anyway, opinions? Ideas? Ta :)

I love Christmas carols, too. Some of my fondest memories involve singing Christmas carols and they always make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Here are some of my favorites:

The Virgin Mary had a Baby Boy

Carol of the Bells (I also really like Christmas in Sarajevo)

O Holy Night (I really think Mariah Carey does the best version of this)

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Little Drummer Boy

Still, Still, Still

In the Bleak Midwinter

Go Tell it on the Mountain (Peter, Paul and Mary)

O Come, O Come Emmanuel (also Peter, Paul and Mary)

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Judy Garland version)

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Barenaked Ladies/Sarah Maclaclan)

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Betelehemu (an African carol - Mormon Tabernacle Choir does a good version)

The Hallelujah Chorus

Adeste Fidelis (Andrea Bocelli)

Angels We Have Heard on High

Sleigh Ride

Christmas Don't Be Late (the Chipmunks, lol)

Welcome Christmas (from the Grinch)

Walking in the Air (from The Snowman)

As for an album, I have a few with children's choirs. I think there's nothing better than a children's choir singing Christmas music.

I'm actually happy that the radio has started playing Christmas music already!

ETA: If you're interested, my college choir did a Christmas album and you can find the mp3's by going to Recordings then Christmas 2004 here: http://www.duke.edu/web/chorale/

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

and here it is in it's original Huron. It was written in Huron by Jesuit Missionary Father Brebuf in 1643, I think that is the correct year

Edited by Kathryn41

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
