Question for fellow non-Christians?

My idea of Christmas music is Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite."

Well... I have to admit "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" still makes me smile.

I've got a bunch, since Christmas is my favorite time of the year (even more so than Halloween, which is special for me now that I have acknowledged being an wiccan).

Santa Clause is Back in Town, Blue Christmas, and Merry Christmas Baby: Elvis Presley

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree: Brenda Lee

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: Elmo and Patsy

O Holy Night: any version

What Child is This: any version, except the opera versions.

Carol of the Bells: Mannheim Steamroller (I think thats the name of the song)

We Three Kings: any version, the more choral the better.

The Little Drummer Boy: Harry Simeone Chorale

about 5 years in the past, i began to fall right into a very depressive episode. before everything i concept it replaced into basically because I had a foul smash from a courting besides the indisputable fact that the thoughts does not bypass away even if I were given a clean female friend. It replaced into wrecking my existence until eventually a level the position it replaced into heavily affecting my artwork and private existence. She replaced into very fearful yet at the same time couldn't understand why i replaced into nonetheless unhappy and concept that I nonetheless couldn't enable bypass of my previous courting. Being the stunning man or woman who she is, she positioned aside her thoughts and reported i bypass for psychiatric evaluation. Many months later or maybe extra anti-depressants, i replaced into not drawing near the point of being more beneficial in any respect. After performing some study on line, i stumbled on out the authentic reason as you defined it extremely makes a lot of expertise and offered this application. the outcomes were basically stunning. I study this e book over 3 circumstances and positioned all words in action. utilizing this technique, i have kept my melancholy at bay ever considering. up as a lot as now i'm nonetheless residing fortunately with my female friend. melancholy loose approach?

I am Wiccan too, but I love alot of the Holiday songs.....heard them so often as a child that they bring back alot of fond memories. Good King Wenslesus (my spelling is bad here) is a great one, probably only because I got to participate in Chorus in school and sing it. And "A Wassailing" (again my spelling is bad) was another I liked quite well.

*Happy Holidays Liebchen*

Merry Christmas (war is over) by Lennon, and Sarah McLachlan did it beautiful justice as well!

Oh, I can't get enough of Greensleeves or Carol of the Bells by Mannheim Steamroller either!!

Jars of Clay does a moving Drummer Boy and Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan have a Medley of God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen and We Three Kings with a Groovy beat. . . but those are religiously slanted.

Hmmm....

Growing up as a Christian many songs come to mind - traditions always remain in the mind ya know.

A couple I like that a little less religious are

"Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"

"Sleigh Ride"

Christmas Eve in Sarajevo by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra-it's a rock version of Carol of the Bells.

I have to admit that, I, like you, have a place in my heart for Christmas songs of peace.

But, a couple of Frosty the Snowman's wouldn't be turned off either. lol

'Angels we have heard on high' is one I find myself humming while baking. I just love the tune!

Blessed Be

There are a few that I like but my favorite is The Christmas Song (the chestnuts roasting over an open fire song).

AFI- Love Like Winter
