Beautiful Christmas music

I love Christmas music, and listen to it online whenever I can during December.  While I’m ordinarily no fan of Josh Groban, finding his pop music a bit shlocky, I thought he did just a thrilling version of O, Holy Night, which I now pass on to you:

I continue to find it sad that PC-mania has pretty much wiped Christmas off the map at public schools.  I loved the Christmas season at school when I was a kid.  I never felt as if I was on the receiving end of proselytizing.  Instead, I enjoyed the secular American version of Christmas, complete with Santa Clause and beautiful music (including music that wasn’t so secular, but that still didn’t leave me feeling pressured to run off to a church and convert).  Our children miss out on a lot living in such a carefully sanitized world.
