I like playing Christmas music on my speakers through the house. Here's some Christmas music you may like.
Christmas carols play list
Starts with my favorite, the Carol of the bells. unfortunately the list is cut short, but still has some nice songs on it.
Pretty, but hard to listen to Christmas music by a group of people who believe:
Christ was a created spirit being, instead of God
There are at least 4 different earth gods
There are potentially an infinite number of gods in existence
That Christ’s coming to earth as a sacrifice for our sins is inadequate for salvation.
All that contradicts the underlying truth of Christmas.
It must be so hard going through life so angry. I try to go through life looking for the good in people.
“It must be so hard going through life so angry.”
Grieved by the falsehood. Not angry.
“I try to go through life looking for the good in people.”
Me too. I said it was pretty. I also told the truth about the beliefs of this group. Do you have anything that contradicts what I posted?
...looking for the good...
As far as music goes, I’m with you. Tchaikovsky and Liberace, gender-conflicted though they were, made a lot of people happy with their music.
Yes, Satan comes to us as an Angel of Light.
But music, is the voice of God...
Merry Christmas. Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men
hope you don’t get blasted for using that ‘mormon’ music
“This is a thread about Christmas music. That’s not appropriated here.”
This is a discussion forum. If you do not wish to discuss the thread topic, no problem.
I have Comcast’s Christmas music station on nearly all the time. Love Christmas music.
Merry Christmas.
Actually, looking at your posting history since you signed up a few weeks ago, you seem to have signed up here purely as a Mormon propagandist.
This is a thread about Christmas music. That's not appropriated here.
My mother was a very devout Roman Catholic and she certainly did not agree with Mormon theology at all. But she also was a trained and very talented operatic singer before she met and married my father, had been invited to audition at the Met in NYC but turned it down, turned down a possible career with one of the most famous of opera companies in order to marry my father and become a full time wife and eventually a mother to my brother and I, and she loved the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, appreciated their musical artistry and we had several MTC Christmas albums in our house when I was growing up played in heavy rotation at Christmas.
We also played Christmas music written by Jews like Irving Berlin and Sammy Cahn and Mel Tormé and performed by Jews like Judy Garland. She also loved the Kings College Choir, classical Christmas music by Handel and Bach, operatic performances by Leontyne Price (her favorite female opera singer) and Luciano Pavarotti, The Boston Pops under the direction of Arthur Fiedler, Fred Waring’s “silly Rudolph and the John Denver/Muppets Christmas album, especially John Denver’s version of Silent Night, her favorite. : ),
Personally I love medieval and early renaissance music, especially at this time of year - it always put me in a festive mood. But I’m sure someone somewhere will if they dig deep enough, find fault with these also - too “Catholic”, too “Protestant”, too “English”, too “Germantic”, too “Spanish”, too “secular, too“pagan”. Whatever...
Merry Christmas!

Thank you MD Expat in PA
There is no “Mormon” Christmas Music.
It is Christmas Music.
It is like dismissing Christmas Music because one of the violins was made by a Nazi sympathizer.
God uses worldly instruments to send forth His message.
Don’t look too closely at His Ways.
It is His message that matters...

Merry Christmas.
Very nice! Thanks for posting it!
add this, if you will, to your list

This song will forever remind me of my father. In his opinion, Caruso was the greatest tenor of All-Time.
We would argue. We would disagree. Over many a tumbler of Scotch Whiskey we would listen and be humbled...
Caruso was the Man from Naples with the Voice of Gold, the Old Man would say.
I would counter that Bjoerling was the Man from Sweden with the Voice of Silver.
In the end, we were grateful...
Some of the best loved Christmas music was written or performed by Jews. The Mormon Tabernacle choir members sing their butts off. Are they wrong in their beliefs? Yes, but you can’t deny their musicality.
