I just wanted to say that I have been enjoying the treat of reading this thread. I don't get out on the internet much anymore, but had promised myself I'd drop in here at MudCat around Christmas as a gift to myself.
Oh, and Holly and the Ivy (X-ian or Pagan, it's still lovely), DEFinitely the Coventry Carol, and Angel We Have Heard on High are alltime favorites of mine, the ones that fall in religious categories.
Not to pick a fight or anything, but even if it is pagan (though I'm not saying it is, nor that it isn't), Holly and the Ivy will still qualify for this thread....
So ... Happy Holidays, everyone!!!!
