I agree with Lil D. Boy, and gave up on all xmas carols long ago...used to love to sing them, back before they were spewed out of every supermarket loudspeaker from Nov. on.

I once taught a beginning (very beginning) guitar class, back in the 60's when Ian & Sylvia were popular. Having used 4 Strong Winds as a sample learning song, I'm afraid I've never been able to sing it since, but agree with McGrath...a good song (and I still think it's a good song) sung by someone who does it well is a pleasure to hear.
