Favorite Christmas carols

Postby rocklobster » Fri Dec 08, 2006 8:54 am

What carols do you like best?
Here are mine:
Silent Night
O Holy Night
12 Days of Christmas (especially now that I know what those gifts REALLY ARE!)
Joy to the World
Away in a Manger
The Little Drummer Boy

It's hard to say; I like a lot of the ones out there that actually speak of our Lord's birth, but I think my very favorite ones are those set to a minor key (for example):

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
We Three Kings

I'm sure I'll think of more later. ^_^

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

I can't believe I forgot about Carol of the Bells. That must be one of my all-time favorites. :D Also, Winter Carol is good, too.

I love many of the Christmas carols, especially the Olde English ones, but if I had to narrow it down to just two, I would choose:

O Come, All Ye Faithful

and

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus

Very difficult to narrow it down to only a few...

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Carol of the Bells (just so nice to listen to)
Stille Nacht (yes, in German)
