With the arrival of December, I've been listening to Classic FM non-stop; I've always enjoyed their Christmas coverage.
Personal favourites include: O Holy Night, Little Drummer Boy, Carol of the Bells, In the Bleak Midwinter, Coventry Carol.
But, there's dozens that I'm found of. What's yours?

O Little Town of Bethlehem and Silent Night for me.
Hark the Herald Angels sing for me, reminds me of first school assemblys at Christmas time 
O Come All Ye Faithful (1st)
In the Bleak Midwinter (2nd)
For some reason, I have a special hatred for modern carols, especially when they don't print the music and it's complete guesswork.

I like the Elvis version of O Little Town of Bethlehem and Sinead O'Connor's version of Silent Night

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slTYj2h6OfY - one of my favourites for personal reasons.
Hark the Herald Sing - The Blenders - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAuMFIl27N0 - acceptable.

A softly sung Silent Night on xmas eve night whilst relaxing in front of the fire with a scotch and dry ginger while last minute presents are being wrapped is what Christmas is all about.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, because Grouty likes it in that Porridge all-time-great Christmas Special. And I recall Winker Watson and the lads singing it as part of some crafty scheme in the Dandy back in the 1960s.
I Saw Three Ships is also good, because you can bash out an acceptable version with just three chords:
G D G D
I saw three ships come sailing in,
G D
on Christmas day, on Christmas day
G D G D
I saw three ships come sailing in,
G Em D G
on Christmas day in the morning.

A great version of O Holy Night from David Grant.

Not remotely religious, but music is music!
In my teens, we used to go to midnight mass on Xmas eve, just for the atmosphere.

love the old lyrics on some of the carols
"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither."

Likewise. Still occasionally go at Christmas time, despite being irreligious.
I'm not remotely religious either but I do like a nice Carol.
I even watch Songs of Praise in the run-up to Christmas

Today I have been listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing carols. Very nice
The world has officially gone mad. Xmas, the atheist`s favourite time of the year.
Those beautiful kids with Rod Stewart will have fond memories looking back at this.
Actually I'm pretty sure it was someone on here,
who first posted the link to this as his daughter was one of the older ones at the back!
