I first heard this carol during the college celebration and thought it was so lovely eventhough it has a bit of a solemn, mournful quality it's got that special awe inspiring of really good spiritual music.

I like them all (except when they keep showing up constantly before Thanksgiving Argh). "Santa Baby", "I'm Getting Nothing for Christmas", "Baby, It's cold outside", uh, "Grandma got runover by a reindeer" though not a X-mas song "The Hanukkah song".

I could go on and on, but I know I would forget ones, my favority quality of them is that a great majority of them are quite sing-able. It's fun to sing them on your own, it's great when you can sing them with friends, I guess I always have happy feelings associated with them because they make you feel like singing along and singing always makes you feel elated. =)

Modern, classical, nearly every carol.

Among the ones that haven't been mentioned, I adore:

What Child is This? (I love the Greensleeves melody, and the lyrics suit it quite well.)

Un Flambeau, Jeanette Isabella (mais seulement en français)

Jesus Christ the Apple Tree (I heard this for the first time at Midnight Mass in the Cathedral of St. Louis. Astonishing.)

The Holly and the Ivy (it just makes me smile)

The Wexford Carol (I'm a traditionalist, what can I say?)

Finally, it isn't truly Christmas until I've heard the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.
