My favourite carol is In the Deep Midwinter, which I had never heard until I went to an Anglican university.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.
What's your favorite Christmas album?
I've really lost my taste for Christmas music over the past few years. But I remember an Andy Williams album very fondly from my childhood. Especially "My Favorite Things," which, okay, isn't a Christmas song, but I think of it as one because it's on that album.

In the Bleak Midwinter?
Ed Harcourt does that on the Mojo mix and it is now one of my favorite christmas songs too!

Silkworm did a great version of "In the Bleak Midwinter" as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that song, too, as long as I don't think about it literally.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Heh.
I love how many Jewish singers do Christmas albums.
Jewsrock.org has a piece on the phenomenon. I love that site. [link]

Oh, and I think my favorite Christmas album might be some 50s compilation I bought at a store like Banana Republic or something.

The most popular version of "In the Bleak Midwinter", as far as I know, is the setting by Gustav Holst. The text is a Rosetti poem, isn't it?

There's also a version on It's a Wonderful Life by Kerry Getz, which is another decent modern Christmas album. It also has a version of "Maybe this Christmas".
If you like real carols, the Fred Waring album is great with things like "Master in the Hall" and "March of the Kings".
