Xmas Hymns

[Julesp]

Weve had favourite popular songs now how about a top 3 xmas hymns?

No way am I religious but these are beautiful songs and shouldnt be forgotten

My favourite are

The Holly and the ivy
Oh Come all you faithfull
Once in Royal Davids city

[kenkay]

1) Little Town of Bethlehem.
2) Silent Night
3) Once In Royal Davids City

I'm not very religeous either. Sometimes I swear  

[Gorgeous_bird]

while shepherds watch there flocks
I saw three ships come sailing in
Silent night

[scouser2]

Hark the Herald.
Silent Night.
Little Donkey.(You cannot fail to get chills down your spine, listening to children sing this at the school nativity).

[sunnyd]

silent night
away in a manger
God rest ye merry gentlmen

(scouser I agree about Little donkey  )

[Scunner]

I think they are all pretty dull to be honest - Once in royal David's city a carol of celebration of a most important birth?? It plods along like something for a funeral cortège! Same for Oh Little Town of Bethlehem and Away in a Manger - who died??!!

Rousing songs of celebration are few and far between but in the Scunner Itunes Christmas Megamix, Hark the Herald Angels Sing gets in

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown

So why mention the ivy at all then!!! Merry Christmas!

[tinkerman]

the holly and the ivy (the good and the bad)

[Scunner]

What on Earth are you talking about!!!

[tinkerman]

you started it..

[Scunner]

So it's an anti-ivy song? Not very Christmassy that
