  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have my favorites. My mother liked secular ones. Her favorite was The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. Santa isn't Christmas to me. I have two favorites, based on lyrics not tunes: Hark the Herald Angels Sing and O Come, All Ye Faithful.

Also secular but I like "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" sung by Bing Crosby. My parents played that. His voice is so great. As a kid you always wanted snow too if you lived where that was possible.

I'm old fashioned! :)

Secular - I love White Christmas and Walking in a Winter Winderland.

Christian - I like nearly all the carols, especially O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. The words "born to raise the sons of Earth, born to give them second birth" are wonderful. Also Mary Did You Know and O Holy Night. But my favourite has to be:
