Which doesn’t mean anything except, I knows what I likes and have low tolerance for anything else.

I don’t like O Holy Night. Why? Because I don’t like operatic soaring and trilling and such. Don’t. Like. It.

I also don’t like pop/jazz/Vegas takes on my Christmas hymns, either. I like them straightforward.

But, even though I don’t like O Holy Night, I do like this:

And, okay, some people might call this operatic, I don’t know. But I like this, too:

And then there’s the fact that when I’m in church and we sing this hymn and we get to the third verse–

Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother; And in His name all oppression shall cease.

I choke up.

So I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t like O Holy Night.

Except when I do.

I’m very picky about my Christmas music.
