What's your favorite Christmas carol?

Mine's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

"Do you hear what I hear?" A classic that I sang in choir a ways back, I've liked ever since.

"The Little Drummer Boy" I sing in the car while driving my kids around. They are young enough to enjoy it even though I can't sing

Well, for now I'd have to say I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas. I've had the Charlie Parker version on a non-stop loop in my head for the past couple weeks now.

I just hope you aren't tone deaf.

Sorry, my last choir teacher was a bit anal about good singing, but we came in first just about every year thanks to her.

Jingle Bell Rock.

Or any Christmas Song re-done by Relient K.

i like "the holly and the ivy"

the holly and the ivy
when they are both full grown
the holly will be the king of the woods
but the ivy will wear the crown

it doesnt actually have that much to do with christmas, but I still like the lyrics a lot.

Yep,

Tone deaf and color blind. I'm pretty much artistically challenged all around.

Oh! and "The Angel Gabriel" (I think that's the title) is beautiful as well.

Sad, sad day for the arts.

Also, not sure if I have heard that one before, what are the lyrics?

"The angel Gabriel from Heaven came/
his wings as drifting snow his eyes as flame"

Here is one version,

The first time I heard it was on one of those "A Very Special Christmas" CD's sung by Sting.

I'm not a huge fan of christmas songs, but I found the following one somewhat amusing.

What's a descant?

I read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descant, but I still don't really understand.

by **The1exile** on Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:06 pm

probably the one that goes "go today, find your redeemer". Or else We Three Kings.

We, three kings of Orient are,
One in a taxi, one in a car,
One on a scooter blowing his hooter,
Smoking a big cigar.
