In Dulce Jubilo and In the Bleak Midwinter (that one makes me feel sad) There is another favourite but I can't remember it (senior moment!).

I love the different harmonies on Hark the Herald Angels sing especially when sung by a full choir.

I've always liked Once in Royal David's City and Ding Dong Merrily on High.

Isn't Ave Maria a carol, love that too.

Every Christmas morning my mum puts on her Carols from Kings CD and it's lovely.

My favourite is Silent night, always takes me back to my childhood.

I had a similar thread in the post of the week comp over in polls section a while ago.
It seems people don't want carols anymore, but modern Christmas songs.

I made up my own Christmas song in my thread.

Don't know reasons really, just like them!

My fave carol is Once in Royal David's City.

It is very haunting I think and sad!

When the kids were younger their primary school always did a Nativity Play. Away in a Manger sung by the little ones always brought a lump to my throat, (as well as a laugh at some of their antics lol )

[zzxxee]

we always changes the words while we were at school such as whilst shepherds washed their socks by night and we three kings of lester square selling ladies underwear so fantastic, no elastic, only a penny a pair

[ELVIS68]

Same here Rosetta, whenever my kids sing Away in a Manger and Silent Night at their school plays I have to take a few deep breaths to stop me from welling up

Mike Oldfield recorded it as well

Silent Night. I used to sing it to my daughter when she was born. (it was Christmas time!)

[bensmum]

I like See Amid the Winter Snow. It's not sung very often but we used to sing it at school in the choir. I must admit to liking the traditional carols - watching Carols from Kings on Christmas Eve is a tradition of mine

Does Fairytale of New York count ?
