Just 1 , No Exceptions!!

[Grandpa Frank]

If you had to pick "1" (just 1 now!) Christmas carol you can stand to hear 10 times a day for a month, what would it be ??
I have several but since I have to "PICK JUST ONE" I'll go with ...

Silent Night.

How bout you?????

Frank

:?

 

[Winter]

Any random Christmas song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

 

[Duo]

i dont know any christmas carol songs

 

[DoctorP]

Where are you Christmas- Faith Hill....only her, no one else!

 

[kirei_na_me]

Even though I'm not religious and even though this is going to sound incredibly sappy, I'll have to say...

O Holy Night by CELINE DION

*gasp*

I can barely believe it myself...

 

[Glenn]

Any random Christmas song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Ha, I was thinking "Carol of the Bells," but not necessarily performed by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I do like they're version, though.

 

[Tuffy]

That song that Charlie Brown and Co. sing...
You know, the one that starts out, "Christmas time is here..."

 

[okaeri_man]

o holy night by eric cartman from south park. lol, the rest would be torture.

 

[epigene]

Hi! This is my first time to post in this section of jref. Yoroshiku!

If it HAS to be a Christmas carol, I can persevere through "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" because you don't hear it as often as "Silent Night" or "Oh Holy Night."

If I'm allowed to pick any song that is Christmas-related, I go for Jewel's "Hands." Haven't heard enough to get tired of it.

 

[acquiredtarget]

I'd chose "Lux hodie/Orientis partibus".

or okaeri_man's pick too.

 

[SkippyDaStudent85]

I don't know if it counts, but the only Christmas song that I don't hate is "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al...

If we are talking "true" carols, then I'll put my vote in for Carol of the Bells

 

[den4]

I like the one written by Charles Dickens....

oops! That's the novel..... runs and hides as Frank chases Den4 through the Grinch's Cave......with a big club!

 

[EscaFlowne]

Temptations--Silent night

 

[silver angel]

SLEIGH BELLS!!!! Hands down. Or Greensleeves.
I have this awesome arrangement for my band class that we're playing for our concert!!

 

[jovial_jon]

Thank God It's Not Christmas by Sparks....ok, so it's not a carol, but I just wanted to be all scrooge-like.

 

[michi]

White Christmas

 

[Japanimaniac]

This is crazy! Just one!? Ok...let's see...probably White Christmas, but not by Bing Crosby. I like it by the guy with the deep voice. The one that was in Home Alone.

Any random Christmas song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Ditto. And I put it in quote format, so it doesn't count as two. Nya!

 

[TwistedMac]

"fairytale of new york"
especially the version with Ronan Keating (yeah, I know... Ronan-bleeping-keating)

 

[jovial_jon]

*Points at Mac and giggles, teases and just generally mocks him* Ronan?!?! Agagagagag! That's funny.

Ahem, sorry.

 

[Glenn]

SLEIGH BELLS!!!! Hands down. Or Greensleeves.

Greensleaves is a Christmas carol? Where did you hear that?

I found this funny, though:

Please hold: Greensleaves tops most infuriating hold music survey

It's enough to send your stress level skyrocketing. Being put on hold, only to have some cheesy version of Greensleaves greeting you at the other end. Well you're not alone.

In a survey of the most infuriating telephone hold music in the UK, that ubiquitous ditty topped the charts.

Peter Freedman is the editor of the website Stressbusting.co.uk that conducted the survey. We reached him in London.

Original can be seen here.

By the way, I like Greensleaves too. You can listen to a MIDI of it here. It's actually not too bad for a MIDI.

 

[Lina Inverse]

I'm not particularly fond of any of them...
But I think I have developed the biggest immunity against Jingle Bells.

 

[okaeri_man]

yeah greensleeves is in my one of my carol books. they give it a different name though. here we go: http://www.mfiles.co.uk/Scores/greensleeves.htm

 

[Japanimaniac]

That's because the actual Greensleeves is "Alas, my love, you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously." What Child Is This has the same melody.

 

[Glenn]

Ah, I see. Although I've never heard of that Christmas carol either, it makes more sense now. So the tune of Greensleaves can be considered a Christmas carol because of the rewriting of lyrics. I've heard of a similar occurance with another tune, but I can't think of what it was at the moment.

 

[ragedaddy]

At this moment in time, I'm feeling. "God Rest thee Merry Gentleman," why, I have no clue....
