That’s what I don’t like — even Christmas music on radio has been sanitized, at least sround where I live. Give me the hyms that reflect the true meaning of Christmas.

O Holy Night gives me goose bumps.

I just read where Best Buy has quit telling people Merry Christmas and is saying Happy Holidays but is saying Happy Eid Al-something-or-other to Muslims ... and forget about Happy Hanukkah ....

O Holy Night gives me goose bumps.

That's one of the most beautiful songs ever written regardless of subject.

O Holy Night gives me goose bumps. I love it too. In the days when I could sing a little, our church had a tenor in the choir who sang it every Christmas. Have you heard Il Divo? A google will get you there. Three very good tenors and one operatic. They put out a great Christmas cd and their O Holy Night, Panis Angelicus and Ave Maria leave me weeping.
