I don't know Jennys mom...and I've certainly never thrown my leg over an old man just to oblige him...but I've been known to belt both out. Not much difference between that and Silent Night or Three Kings...to my mind.
What instrument do you play?

For those experiencing angst supporting Christers via Christmas music, try George Winston's December.
If that is too much, you can fall back to Winter into Spring.

I'm not very talented musically speaking (especially vocally) but I really enjoy much Christian music. I like Bach and Handel in particular. And I'm very fond of a number hymns. I like Gospel too.
Modern Christian rock and especially rap tends to be embarrassingly bad.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Haha, it is almost funny how obvious a christian rock song is within hearing the first few words of a song. They're quite the cookie cutter sort of music. There's many different types of cookies, but they all use the same mold. haha

I don't really care for most Christmas music, not on religious grounds, but on musical grounds.
But I've been meaning to work up a fingerstyle-jazz version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", I think that could be pretty fun.

I'm really not that talented. I'm pretty mediocre, actually.
