1. Traditional.

[valerief]

2. None would suit me. nt

[Lydia Leftcoast]

3. Traditional, especially foreign and classical

My church choir does a lot of old English carols, medieval and Renaissance carols, and modern carols composed in the classical style.

[nolabear]

4. All of the above.

I like Christmas music but I have a low boredom threshold and like to mix things up. I've got everything from The Hallelujah Chorus to blues to Cajun to trad to Sting. And Odetta. And Leon Redbone. And The Pogues. Joan Osborne. Some Japanese thing that my husband gave me that goes on and on and on...

5. I ADORE THIS...

I only wish I could hear it, my speakers died.

[hermetic]

6. Celtic

[antiquie]

7. I did not realize I like Christmas music.

[magical thyme]

8. traditional with early instruments

and original or very early versions.

10. This was my favorite Christmas song since I was 5: call me twisted!

"I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas"

Although the Pogues' "Fairy Tale of New York" was a close second:

11. multilayered with a hint of dark

like "merry little christmas"

[dipsydoodle]

12. Oh Holy Night takes some beating.

Enrico Caruso - Minuit Chrétien - O Holy Night 1916 in original French

Michael Ball here if you want to sing along in English.

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

13. Traditional, for sure

Preferably sung by children.

[LWolf]

14. Some of them all. nt

[pipi_k]

15. Well, some

from each category.

But I like rude/twisted the best.

[sakabatou]

16. My newest favorite is Jingle Bells (Insanity Wolf ver.) NSFW

[Rhythm]

17. All of them... (and i'm an atheist)

The traditional pieces i appreciate for their artistry and musical beauty,
especially if well-executed by someone like Josh Groban, the Vienna Boys Choir, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, etc...

The 'contemporary' i enjoy singing along with...
Well, all except for "Christmas Shoes", which makes me want to throw the radio...
(but that's a thread for another day)

And the 'twisted' ones are just fun...

[CrawlingChaos]

18. Have you seen this?

[Rhythm]

20. I hadn't 'til now... *dies laughing*

My usual commentary on it is that the kid's dad needs to be investigated by CPS, because he's letting a kid too young to really understand 'money' run around all alone in the first place...

[kwassa]

19. Older than your definition of traditional

I like them hundreds of years old.

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming.
