Sarah McLachlan's remake of Song for a Winter's Night is not your typical Christmas song but they play it on the radio here during Christmas time. It is a very beautiful song, written by Gordon Lightfoot. I love it.

I had just added it to my Christmas list on spotify.

My favorite Christmas carol (singer does not matter) is I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day (pg. 214) The story, the words of that song, affects/touches me as no other holiday song does...

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And thought how, as the day had come,

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till ringing, singing on its way

The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head

“There is no peace on earth,” I said,

“For hate is strong and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Another one I hear on the radio during Christmas.

I like this but it's just another example of the overruse of Pachelbel's Cannon D.

But I like anything by the TransSiberian Orchestra. They put on a great concert and laser show during it.

Here's one of my favourites. I love Good King Wenceslas because it tells a lovely story, I know all the words and I love to sing it. It took me awhile to find this particular youtube version. This song should be song in the correct tempo and I found so many versions either too slow or too fast. This one is good vocally but the visual they provide is a bit odd, but okay.
