Thread Name: Yuletide carols
Subject: RE: Yuletide carols
Sarah, I'm really glad you liked the site and some of the songs. I'd be interested to hear from you about your favourites and which one you are thinking of performing.

And thanks very much for your input, Lynne. I think you make a very valid point. Anyway, it seems to me that some of the well known "traditional" carols were not exactly works of art themselves, but people are used to them, and changing the words seems strange. Myself, I'd rather sing a carol about Yule, because it reflects my views. Certainly some well-written originals would be welcome, but they don't seem to be forthcoming here, and I'm not a songwriter myself. My SO is a songwriter however, so I might issue him a challenge to write one.

Now, while certain people are busy having their opinions, I might go and see if I can find some more songs ;-)
