What are your favorite Christmas songs/hymns?
Here are two of mine:
1. Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
I first sang this song last Christmas when I had to learn it while on the praise team at church. It's a 15th Century carol and the harmonies are insane and the words are more than beautiful. I searched You Tube for the best version online and I found this one. It's on a random Christmas DVD by the 2003 Baylor Chamber Singers (anyone recognize any of these people?). They kill it (in a good way). Whenever I hear this song I want to cry. I REALLY miss a cappella singing since there's none acceptable to be had here in Cville. I just want to go to 9:00 devo again. Anyone with me?
2. Christmas Canon in D -- Trans Siberian Orchestra
Come on -- Canon in D with kids singing about Christmas?? How can that not make you cry?

We actually do know someone in the Baylor video: the girl on the first row, second from the right attended church with us when we lived in Waco. It's funny because she never mentioned that she was even in a singing group, and one night I was watching PBS and they played this video, and there she was!
My favorite Christmas song is Greensleeves (What Child is This). I just love the melody and the words.
I didn't know you like to sing. We're going to have to have you perform next mommy potluck! Those hyms were beautiful. I love acepella!
Ummm...liking to sing and being good at it are two differnt things! :)
