Here are some of my favorite Christmas carols:
- O Holy Night - I adore this song, but alas, I do not have the vocal range to be able to hit those high notes.
- Ave Maria - Another song I can't actually sing because it gets too high.
- What Child is This?
- Do You Hear What I Hear? - I remember singing this with my elementary school choir when I was in 5th or 6th grade. My favorite version is Bing Crosby's.
- I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - This carol probably isn't all that popular, but I love the message "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep." I love the fact that it was written during the Civil War, reminding us that no matter how bad things may seem God does not abandon us. Right will prevail!
I'm sure I've forgotten some; there really are too many to mention every single one of my favorites. It was great to go caroling tonight and sing Christmas carols with my kids. I was proud to see that they knew almost all of the words to all of the songs we sang.

I also love "I heard the BE=ells on Christmas Day." I am also so happy when we sing it. The message is wonderful and brings to point one of the reasons to the Chrsitmas holiday; our Lord Jesus Christ will always remember us.
well, Heirloom is my favorite Carol for the words. And The Carol of the Bells is my favorite one for the music!
