I think my favourite piece of Christmas music at the moment is Howard Darke's arrangement of 'In the bleak midwinter': -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYAv8xvBK74&feature=relatedIt's a new arrangement to me, and as much as I hated the choirmaster at my mother's church for picking it this year when I saw it (fiddly to get right and bits were too similar to the normal version), it has really grown on me with practising.Of course when I decided to record something on youtube for Christmas I sang something a little cheesier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_3s9FIl3Pc
