Christmas!

Ok people, recommendations for good, traditional carols? I would prefer the non-religious Christian type.

Thanks!

I can't stand Christmas pop songs, I don't like music I think of as "commercial" in the sense that it's asking me/us to buy something, I dislike things that detract from the festival I guess. It's hard to explain.

No, I'm totally with you there.

In short: I want to decorate my tree when it gets here.

Good luck with that, and good luck with the religious thing too. It can be very hard. And most of the best tunes are religious (I've struggled with that one myself: Bach's a powerful argument for Christianity. And the only non-religious carol I like is Deck the Halls (I wouldn't count Good King Wenceslas as non-religious.)

(This icon is from my favourite Advent carol, 'Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent'.)
