Liz the Squeak: I will put words to the Huron Carol in another thread. Don't you like the standard tune to Adeste Fideles? It's one of my favourite carols.

Ana: If you want unorthodox Christmas songs, try the Arrogant Worms (a musical comedy trio from Kingston, Ontario). They have a whole CD of cynical/humorous Christmas songs; I haven't heard that CD, but I've heard good reviews of their Christmas concert, and I love the sense of humour exhibited in their other CDs.

General: I love "The Friendly Beasts" (words and chords in Rise Up Singing). There is a legend that on every Christmas Eve, farm animals are able to speak and they pass the story on to each other about the birth of Christ. This song is about that.
