My all time favorite is the Holly and the Ivy. So beautiful.

Agree.

Despite my grinchiness about lots of carols there are quite a few I love. These are probably my favorites:

The Wexford Carol

Some Children See Him

The Christ Child Lullaby (Taladh Chriosda)

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

In the Bleak Midwinter


This probably gives something of an idea of my taste in Christmas music.

And yes, I know I've said elsewhere I generally hate carols sung by pop artists. But Alison Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma on the Wexford Carol and James Taylor on "Some Children See Him" are hard to beat.

Have you heard the Steeleye Span version of "The Holly and the Ivy"? Best ever rendition, at least to my mind. Please listen and tell me what you think.

Definitely one of the best, if not the best. Gorgeous!
