Christmas is a season filled with traditions, and one of the most beloved is gathering to sing carols – at home, at church or around the community. Certain songs have become timeless classics that return year after year, bringing with them memories, joy and a sense of togetherness. With that in mind, we’re inviting you to help us celebrate the music of the season by taking part in our Christmas carol poll.

Below you’ll find a list of popular carols to choose from. Simply select your favorite and tell us why it holds a special place in your heart – whether it’s a childhood memory, a stirring melody or lyrics that speak to your faith. We’ll share the results of the poll and some of your comments may be highlighted as well. We look forward to hearing your stories and discovering which songs mean the most to our readers this Christmas.

Also, be sure to check out some lesser-known Christmas favorites compiled by George Matysek here.
