Requested by Thewhiterabbit: The Little Drummer Boy, sung by Carrie Underwood.
This has long been one of my favorite hymns. I’d like to post everybody’s favorite Christmas carols–we’re open for your requests.

By Request, ‘O Holy Night’
Requested by SemperSoloDeoGloria, we have O Holy Night performed by Tomee Profit with Tauren Wells and Svircina.
I’ve never heard it done so energetically.
By Request: ‘Joy to the World’
I couldn’t find the version Erlene requested–but you can’t post Christmas carols and leave our Joy to the World, can you? I don’t know who these performers are, but I like the way they sing this hymn.
[Sorry there’s no Christmas Carol Contest this year. I can’t see it prospering with such a late start.]
By Request: ‘The Holly and the Ivy’
Requested by Phoebe, sung by Mediaeval Baebes–The Holly and Ivy. Gee, I was all set to post this before I heard from anybody.
I am too weak this year to trim a Christmas tree, let alone bring it through the door. So we’ll need a lot of hymns.
Christmas Music
Trying, yes, we’re trying…
(This blinkin’ chemotherapy lasts a long time after it stops.)
Thanks to Jill for walking me through this.
We are open now for Christmas carol requests. (The video above is hours and hours, BTW).
‘God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen’
I can’t explain why I decided to post this Christmas hymn today, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. All I can say is, my heart cried out for it this morning.
And now I know where to put the comma in the title.
Sung by the Magdalen College Choir.
By Request, ‘O Holy Night’ (Bonus Hymn)
Christmas is never out of season here!
Requested by Susan, O Holy Night–a metal/rock version by Dan Vasc.
You might be surprised.
Masters In ThisHall
(It’s cold, it’s supposed to snow, and I would dearly love to go back to bed…)
No one requested this Christmas hymn in our carol contest–Masters in This Hall, by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Ah, well–we’ll run out of readers before we run out of hymns.
By Request, ‘We Three Kings’
Requested by Re-Farmer, We Three Kings–and this rendition by the King’s College Choir, Cambridge… Well, all I can say is, it’s beautiful.
(Thank you, Re-Farmer, for reminding me that today is Epiphany. I wouldn’t want it to slide past me.)
‘Carol of the Bells,’ Without Bells
Wow! Impressive! DeeDee Tibbits plays The Carol of the Bells on a hammered dulcimer.
I’m still posting Christmas carols and still taking requests. BTW, it looks like it could snow today. I’d appreciate that.
