Glad to see OH COME OH COME EMANNUEL on your list. MARY DID YOU KNOW didn’t make it? Such a beautiful, beautiful song!

So many people do not know that the "O Antiphons" are what make up the verses of "O Come, O Come Emannuel"

Check it out on these links:

The O Antiphons
Ego Cras (Anagram of the Messianic Titles of Christ in the "O" Antiphons)
Praying with the "O" Antiphons

The Great Advent Antiphons
What are the “O Antiphons”?

I agree with you on Emannuel. And also on Mary did you Know. I think the reason this did not make the cut is because it is not as religious as the ones on the top 10. There are some beautiful Christmas songs which are more modern. One of my favorites is Little Drummer Boy.
