By now it’s probably started. The majority of radio stations in your city have likely switched to a 24-hour Christmas song format, complete with sleigh bells, white Christmases, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and a few old white guys from the 1930′s effortlessly crooning you to sleep.
Before they have a chance to make you hate Christmas music, let me suggest a few of my favorites. What follows is a list of Christmas songs that strip away the snow, shopping and superficiality of a modern Christmas and compel you to look back to the birth of the Christ child. Clicking on each song will pull up information about the song, a video, an audio clip or lyrics. These have always helped me meditate on the meaning of Christmas, and I want to share them with you.
1.) Once Upon A Christmas
2.) This Baby
3.) Mary, Did You Know?
4.) Such a Strange Way (To Save The World)
5.) O Come, O Come Emmanuel
6.) Gloria
7.) All Is Well
8.) Emmanuel
9.) My Deliverer Is Coming
10.) O Little Town of Bethlehem
11.) Do You Hear What I Hear?
12.) What Child Is This
13.) For Unto Us
14.) Breath of Heaven
15.) Love Has Come

Surely, the absence of “O Holy Night” is due to a computer error of some sort, as it could not have been left off deliberatly!!!
“Fall on your knees;
O hear the Angel Voices…”
Obbop,
“Christmas Bells” didn’t quite fit with the theme, but I must admit, growing up I loved the snoopy Christmas songs. They stick with you forever. Thanks for posting the link, it has been years since I heard that.
BlueRidge,
My mistake. “O Holy Night” definitely should have made the list. I completely overlooked it.
