I apologize for my ignorance, but it appears that two of these carols are in the incorrect categories (cough* Al Green and Idina M cough*) – I believe the ‘worst’ Christmas carol was for 2011 (that’s 3 years late). Needless to say, I am brokenhearted. Perhaps next year, more astute nominations will be … nominated. But for now, I must carry on.
I think you’re forgetting about one thing that carols can be nominated for: INSTRUMENTATION. For example the build at the end of Silent Night is perfect. The fact it was sung by a corny singer doesn’t change that. And you can’t tell me that the violin riffy thing in the chorus of Al Green’s carol isn’t one of the catchiest things you’ve ever heard. Listen again, me!
I don’t know if I would call Silent Night or it’s build ‘perfect’. Frankly, no-one from Frozen should produce a Christmas album. No offence. I just found Al Green’s carol a little repetitive. I do agree that there are some simply exquisite moments in the carols (loved the build in Mary Did You Know), I can understand why most of them were nominated. I just personally wouldn’t have nominated some of them.

I find your intuition and discernment empowering. If only we were all as good at sharing our opinions as exquisitely as you have.
There are some brilliant ‘traditional’ carols! Hard to split it. Good problem to have 😃
I agree! Excellent problem indeed!
I honestly wasn’t sure if there were going to be enough traditional carols to do a poll! I couldn’t think of any at all! (apart from one)
Voted.
Hmmm. Choices, choices, choices…
To whom it may concern.

In despondence,
Your fellow caroler,
Me.
Apology accepted.

Has anyone else noticed that re-arranging Santa becomes Satan
Next year we should have the best dubstep carol – like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgfMbo2NLko
Haha I like it.
what about the funniest carol or most annoying carol?
Hey did anyone else notice the really bored trombone player in the Mormon Tab Choir???
Ok, so maybe the carols aren’t that bad after all. I’ve re-listened to them.
