It's that time of the year again where we're all forced to listen to Christmas music whether we like it or not. I was thinking today that this may be one of the only Christmas songs that I actually enjoy. What are your Christmas songs worth listening to?

This is my favorite. This version, specifically. I think the lyrics are very humbling (maybe it's a Catholic thing for me, I don't know), and her voice is so beautiful.

And this. Check out this video and those puffy ass sleeves.

And this, too. I will belt this one out loud, don't care who's around.

The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.

I also like the traditional carols, because we learned them in primary school and they were fun. I had to recite Hark! The Herald Angels Sing once at a Christmas festivity.

I like all the Christmas music, but that one is particularly nice.

I like this too, it is fun

...and... I am onto this now, which usually means I am stuck, for a while, at least...

qualify those as Christmas music or not, as you choose

This is the Christmas song of my childhood :

I actually taught it to my class of 2-3 year olds during my brief stint as a schoolteacher. A wonderful memory.

One of the first carols we learned in kindergarten. I still know the lyrics by heart.

This is my favourite Romanian carol. The lady sings it with a slight Moldavian accent and that is a folklore costume, but I'm not sure from what region of Romania.

At first, I thought this song was funny. Then it grew on me:

And I've been liking this one:

And anything by Trans Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller.

Thank you for this--I've played it quite a few times (jingle bells is pretty good too).

Aside from O Holy Night and all that, I'm going to be playing these modern classics non-stop:
