Honestly, the choreography in this video annoys me just a wee bit, but the music is beautiful. This is one of those carols that makes me smile. Here's "Ding Dong Merrily on High":

Sissel's voice is so pure and crystal clear, exactly right for "In the Bleak Midwinter", and how can you go wrong with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing backup? I love the message of the last verse, one that President Monson has quoted several times.

I usually like my Mannheim Steamroller in small doses, but this version of "Still, Still, Still" is so peaceful and soothing, I can put it on an endless loop.

I'm partial to German carols, perhaps because 15 years ago I got to spend some time in Vienna, Austria, during the Christmas season. "Ihr Kinderlein, Kommet" is known as "O Come, Little Children" in English, but I love the original German lyrics. In this upbeat version, Placido Domingo sings with a children's choir:
Hope yours was a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
