Then you have the carols, which one would suppose would be classier, musically much more interesting, and more true to the holiday's meaning. But if you really inspect these songs, you find that not only do they not have much more meaning either (except to say that a infant King was born in a manger), but that they also are just basically pop tunes not all that different from Jingle Bells (on my all time razz list by the way). So, carols may be a step above, but just a step. I'd rather listen to a soft Bach sonata over Silent Night any day, but then again, I am a snob as I have said.
