My Favorite Christmas Carols

[Tommy_B]

I love Christmas time and the music is one of the things I love the best. I don't mean Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and certainly not Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer, but the traditional carols, Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful and all the ones they sing in England & Germany (Austria) that we don't sing here. I'm not sure what my favorite one is, I guess it changes depending on my mood, but right now I just love O Come All Ye Faithful and love it in Latin too.

My Absolute favourite is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and Christy McCall

 

 

[Menorain]

I like the four bells one. Or however it goes. FOUR CAROL BELLS, LA LA LA. You know the one...

[Bumblebee]

My favourite christmas carol, is when they get turned off

Oh Holy Night gives me chills when I hear it. I just love it ... and sing along to it loudly whenever it's on. I can sing but my range isn't that good! lol

 

This is an absolutely beautiful rendition and I got chills as usual. The violinist looks a little possessed but otherwise ...

HAHAHA. I am useless.... still love the song though

[PrivateTim]

I do love the old time traditional carols, but I am also a total sucker for the WWII songs.

Especially this one. It makes me cry everytime. So many fine young men never did come for Christmas.

I was in the choir during high school and loved the Christmas concert, but we were nothing compared to the 'Libera' boys choir. They are nothing short of magnificent. I can watch their videos for hours!

 

Thanks for sharing.

Honestly, I hate Christmas carols, even worse are the brats that come round knocking on your door demanding money for singing so out of tune the glass is struggling to remain intact.

 

Bah humbug.

People actually DO that? I've never even HEARD of someone to whom that actually happened. I don't think I would like that either.

 

But I do like that tired old song titled, Do You Hear What I hear? (Probably from when I had to sing it as a child in a school concert.)

Mine is "Gaudete"

Christmas carrols have been ruined for me because I've been hearing them since Halloween pitching everything from Transformers toys to Depends for old folks.

 

I think there should be a rule: no Christmas carols before Dec. 1 or after Dec. 31.

I did not understand one word that they sang, but my eyes were filled with happy tears.

 

Thanks!

In my humble opinion--there are NO Christmas songs which can compare to the Vienna Boy Choir's rendition of "What Child Is This".

[West Coast Dude]

I really like the song that they played on Grey's Anatomy last night:

It's quite hard to type while clapping. I just found that out!

 

Thanks, MikeL

And a very happy humbug to you, too.

The notes Pavorotti hits are unreal, the power, the clarity and the quality, unbelievable.
