O Come, O Come Emmanuel

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

That's a pretty one. I should've thought of it.

[castiron]

The Twelve Days of Christmas.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Oh yes! Good one!

[lycomingst]

O Holy Night.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I like that one too, more than silent night, I think.

[garonne]

I love Christmas carols (and often used them for fic titles!) Other favourites: O Come O Come Emmanuel, Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, The First Noel, The Holly and the Ivy, O Holy Night, Once in Royal David's City

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I do the same. The First Noel is a good one. You can belt out the end

[smallhobbit]

Go tell it on the mountain (which we sang at Christingle on Sunday) and See him lying on a bed of straw.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I like the first one, the second is new to me.

[debriswoman]

In the bleak midwinter


See amid the winter snow

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I have a vague notion of the first but the second is new to me.

[debriswoman]

Not surprised… I used the second one as a prompt in a fandom which is 99% non UK…and I don’t think any had heard of it :-)

My favourite is Kommet, ihr Hirten | Come ye shepherds, I just love the melody.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I just listened to it! Very pretty!

[autumnia]

I've been really partial to these the last few years: Ding Dong Merrily on High, The Holly and the Ivy, and I Saw Three Ships. Just love the music!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I like I Saw Three Ships, too! It's very rousing!
