What are your favourite Christmas carols?

Question

Answer 1

Little donkey .... Its really cute

Answer 2

Good lively ones like these should do the trick



Hark the herald angels sing

The holly and the ivy

Good king wenceslas (sp?)

It came upon a midnight clear



If you can include Christmas songs as well as carols try these



We wish you a Merry Christmas

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Santa Claus is coming to town



Have fun!

Answer 3

Oh Holy Night

Away in the Manger

Silent Night

Lo' How a Rose Er Blooming

We Three Kings of Orient Are

Children Go Where I Send Thee

Joy to the World

Angels we have heard on high

The First Noel

Adeste Fidelis

Ave Maria

Answer 4

Carol King

Carol Bayer Sayer

Carol Thatcher

Carol Cox

Carol The Builder

Answer 5

I don't like most of them, since they've been done to saturation. Try finding some older carols (as in mideval), or translations of French or Spanish carols.

My favourite is The Carol of the Bells but I realise you need a trained choir to pull that one together...but you did ask...

Answer 6

Silent night is a fave. yet with the aid of the years, countless performers have accomplished marvelous issues with a particular carol. case in point: Barbara Streisand's wacky version of "Jingle Bells" is nutty and joyous. Placido Domingo making a track "O Holy night" is wealthy and severe. Judy Garland's "Have your self a Merry Little Christmas" is gorgeous and particularly unhappy. John Denver and the Muppets having a ball with "The 12 Days of Christmas" is an absolute hoot. Jim Brickman is a pianist and does a large job together with his track, "The present".

Answer 7

My Top Five:



1.)Silent Night

2.)We Wish You A Merry Christmas

3.)Little Donkey

4.)On The First Day of Christmas

5.) Away In A Manger



See what you think of them!

Answer 8

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones we used to know. When the tree tops glisten and children listen and sleigh bells ringing in the snow...

Answer 9

It came upon the midnight clear

Silent Night

Hark the Herald angels sing

O Come all Ye Faithful

Answer 10

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is one of my favorites. All 3 verses really get into the meaning of the holiday.

Answer 11

Merry F-cking Christmas sung by Mr. Garrison on South Park.

Answer 12

"O Holy Night" and "O Tannenbaum" are my favorites , but I would also include a couple of upbeat ones, like Sleigh Ride or Jingle Bells.

Answer 13

angels we have heard on high
