That's beautiful. "O Holy Night" has been among my favorites. "Mary did you know" and "What Child Is This" are up at the top of the list, too. And "Silent Night" reminds me of my Grandma who at the end when she forgot nearly everything else, could still sing along with it.
Not necessarily a favorite, but it does rate up there. I like it for it's "sassiness", and Joan Osborne is someone special to me and The Husband. May I present Joan Osborne's "What do Bad Girls Get?"
I love that song. It and do many others take me back to my Protestant church and growing up. My parents loved Christmas songs too and they were played in the house on record players and also sung in the car.
Angels We Have Heard on High and What Child is This and the Drummer Boy are some of my favorites. I love Christmas and Christmas songs!
It’s so moving. My mom’s favorite song was Silent Night. After 22 years I can hear and sometimes sing it without crying. I always hear her voice when the song is sung.

That’s a lovely memory. I hope I’ll always remember “Silent Night.”
Jewel does a beautiful version of "O Holy Night". She can sure hit the high notes.
I'll check it out. Thanks.
I also love this one: https://youtu.be/-tB0V7FpKIg

Beautiful!

Her "One of Us" got me through many a dark and lonely night. This is a great song and yes, it's entirely a holiday tune.
This one. https://imvdb.com/video/annie-lennox/god-rest-ye-merry-gentlemen
Favorite carol done by a truly bad-ass performer.
Holy cow. I have never heard that version and it's awesome. Listen to that voice.
I had no idea she released a xmas cd. Needless to say, I just ordered it. Like we need another xmas cd. We have about 30. But Annie Lennox...

At the first note of "What Child Is This," I just go ahead and start crying. It's beautiful.

What a beautiful connection.
The former Catholic gets all weepy when I hear that song. Jewel does a beautiful version of it. Her xmas CD is lovely.

Wonderful! Thank you.
You’re very kind, Professor; I need a better editor. 🥸
Beautiful music. Not fond of the Piano Guys however.
