Strange, considering my beliefs, but I really like a lot of sacred Christmas music, but hate most secular stuff.

Stuff I love:
"Silent Night"
"Joy to the World"
"The First Noel"
"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"
"Angels We Have Heard on High"
Stuff I hate:
"Jingle Bells"
"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
The song that makes me wish I could resurrect those who brought it into being so that I could subject them to hours of torture and humiliation until they begged to be allowed to return to the grave: "Jingle Bell Rock."

My favorite is "Oh Holy Night." I have no idea what the lyrics say, I just

The reference is to a very old TV show. The mother in the show was
called Carol Brady, and the actress who played her, also did ads for
Wesson Oil.

Hey, mine too)

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

My favourite hymn is How Great Thou art, sung by Susan Boyle. She gives me
goosebumps when i listen to this

It's great the first three dozen times, but gets tiresome after that.

OOo, how I hate that one too. Came out around 1959 and a boyfriend liked to imitate the singer ( Bobbe Vee, or something) and he was almost as bad. Brings back bad mems when it's played, which is way too often.

I don't mind Burl Ives tho and "Have a Holly Jolly Xmas". I just like his voice.

I like most Christmas carols. But I dislike "Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer", and really dislike "Carol of the Bells" (too frantic)

I am exposed to almost zero commercials. I only listen to public radio, watch pretty much no TV, except very rarely, PBS. The few TV shows I watch are time-shifted by a year, and on DVD w/o commercials.

Back when I still did watch some TV, I was somewhat offended that Baba O'Reilly was being used as a theme song to one of the shows I watched, but after seeing Townsend and Daltrey make complete asses of themselves at a Super Bowl halftime show (again, on TV), I lost all reverence I still had for those guys. I guess they gotta eat.

I'd never whore out anyone's sacred music to Mammon. The stupid reindeer and Frosty crap, that's OK, since no one past the age of 6 or 7 believes that's actually true anyway.

I know that The Messiah is really more of an Easter thing, but here in St. Louis, they tend to perform it around Christmas, and I got to heaer it in its entirety twice on the radio, and once live. Anyway, on Christmas Eve, the church hired a woman with her two sheep to come to the 5:00PM service, and stick around to let the children pet the sheep, and I got that part from the Handel stuck in my head, "All we like sheep! have gone astray-ay-ay-ay-ay. All we like sheep!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3YYsKO6YAA

No, it was maybe cute the first time or two. The whole Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy thing seems wrong to me, like institutionalized lying to kids. St. Nicholas was reputed to be an orphan with a large inheritance who chose the life of a priest, who renounced worldly wealth and was reputed to give his money away anonymously to children. To tell children that we are inspired by this guy's actions, and so we give children presents to commemorate that is nice. To tell them that there is a guy who lives at the North Pole, is seemingly immortal, and who defies the laws of physics seems really bullshit.

There is a huge difference in telling someone something that is incorrect, but that you believe to be true, and telling someone something that is incorrect, and you know it to be untrue.

You do know that God has got his own pet food company:

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Matthew 6:26

the crowd seems happy and genuinely surprised, even the kids are interested.
Not sure that kid should be climbing up a light pole though.

The Little Drummer Boy is my all-time favorite. I remember playing that
RECORD, on my parent's stereo, when I came home from school, before
anyone else was home yet.

One of my great regrets is that I didn't get around to visiting Branson,
Missouri before Andy Williams was gone. I grew up watching his specials
on TV. And I always play the Dean Martin slot machine at the casino :-)

The only modern Christmas song I like is Adam Sandler-makes me laugh
every time I hear it.

Ya Ya I know, so shoot me, I was gone.
