Interesting. Thanks!
I do find it hard to believe that “Once in David’s Royal City” won out in popularity over all of those others except “O Holy Night.” I have trouble believing it won out over all but 2 on the honorable mention list.
I guess we just don’t sing it much in my part of the country.
I can’t recall ever having sung it.
It doesn’t matter as long as the girl in those hyudai commercials sings it.
Kasia Kowalska singing the Polish Christmas Carol “Mizerna Cicha.”
O Holy Night. My absolute favorite because it’s got the entire message. “...till He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth...”. Shivers, every time.
Actually ANY Glen Campbell Christmas song is great. For some reason, his voice just suits Christmas songs. I also love all Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Christmas music.
Never heard of that.
I vote for the entire bunch, I rotate which one I like the best and it works well!
I wondered about that one too. But it was the blogger’s personal choices so......
We can list ours now! LOL!
There is one that is in the back of my brain that isn’t coming out yet. I’ll post it when I remember the title.
Let’s see.
“Anges des nos compagnes”
“Silent Night”
“Adestes Fideles”
“What child is this”
“Away in a Manger”
“Go tell it on the mountain”
Can you translate that title for us “Uneducated and non-Polish speaking ones”?
Thanks.
I’m thinking that Silent Night is the favorite of more people I’ve met in my years of ministry than any other. It is always the focus of candle-lighting service on Christmas Eve.
I wish there were a few more really good, singable Advent songs. O Come, O Come is mystery & wonder and then it goes downhill from there.
I love singing it too. Did you notice that the blogger put that as #9 and then down below as just missed the cut? LOL!
Each one has a unique spirit. Cannot, and will not name a favorite, My “favorite” is the season itself! Merry Christmas!
Isaiah was foretold it
This rose I have in mind.
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
**“Go tell it on the mountain”**
I was just about to put that out here in the mix. You beat me....Blessings in song!
When I was in the 6th grade, my class had a transient girl(her dad was in construction and moved often). She had a fantastic voice (she was also beautiful) and hearing her sing O Holy Night brought a tear. Even the memory does it.
She sang it for our class presentation and the auditorium was packed.
After she finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the place. After a 10-15 second period of silence, the audience burst into applause which lasted for a full 2 minutes. She moved on after the Christmas break. We never saw her again.
I heard that version on satellite radio the other day, it just blew me away. I’m thinking aout getting the cd.

I’m with you. Two of my favorites. I’ve actually had tears in my eyes walking through a store if i hear “O Holy Night”.
