O Holy Night is my favorite traditional carol.
Like It's Christmas by the Jonas Brothers is my favorite modern Christmas song. It's my jam! |

Their version of Mary Did You Know is amaze balls. Cannot compute. |

I remember an NPR program years ago about the histories of traditional carols. Oh Holy Night was, early on, banned in French churches. The music not being pious, too arousing, and politics were involved. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear--besides being a Unitarian hymn (I'm a UU) and beautiful music, it is also a kind of antiwar song (written just after the Mexican American War, which I kind of believe is what messed this country up). Silent Night (our h.s. choir had a version with a soprano descant that made me shiver it was so beautiful)--the same PBS/NPR (maybe there were a couple of programs that year, because I do remember an animation for this part but only audio for the other stuff) was when I first learned about the WWI Christmas Truce. Love Nutcracker. Hate the traditional way the ballet is done (the rats and all that)--first live version I ever saw had a very different approach and will always be my personal standard of how it should be performed. |

What approach did they use for the Nutcracker? |
