    Technically, these aren't carols. They're more Christmas songs. My favorite song is Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting)." My favorite carol is "Silent Night".

    Engelbert Humperdinck's rendition of Silent Night. :)

    Any reason to say his name.

    I am with you KJ. I like both singers but do not think that their styles or voices harmonised well. Sounded contrived and unnatural.

    This one always catches my ear:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh3pFC65CnE

    I prefer the song to be sung by women. Their voices seem to fit it so much better.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the secular vein, I like this version of Mr. Grinch by Gay Hoey:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nohsj5yI9Gc

    The song doesn't start until about the 15 second mark, so be patient if you listen to it.
