Merry Christmas and My Five Favorite Christmas Carols

 

To all who celebrate have a Merry Merry Christmas and to those that don't I hope you have a lovely Friday and a fantastic weekend.  

I've had a difficult time feeling particularly Christmas-y this year and with a move right before Christmas we didn't really have much time or energy to really decorate.  Throw in the pandemic and my son's repressed immune system we are keeping gatherings short, small, masked, and outside so it's not really the noisy fun event it usually is.  I know it will be lovely and quiet which is just what we need right now but it's definitely different.  To feel a little more Christmas-y I thought I'd spend some time thinking of my 5 Favorite Christmas Carols.  


1.  The Holly and the Ivy

2.  Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

3.  God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman

4.  Silent Night

5.  The First Noel

Do you have a favorite carol?

  3. Merry Christmas, Katherine! My favorite carol is probably Sleigh Ride. When I was in high school, I was a part of the full orchestra and we played it every year at Christmas. There is just something about being part of a live group playing that song which has stuck with me over the years.

  5. Mine is Carol of the Bells, and I really like the Bing Crosby/David Bowie Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy.

  6. Hugs. Merry Christmas. I hope you all had a good day. I don't have one favorite as it depends on my mood. Today has been Mary's Boy Child by BoneyM and Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives.
