Lo! How a Rose e'er Blooming

True, I like the holiday songs that sort of make fun of the faux emotion associated with people who go to church twice a year.

Although I do like some traditional Christmas music.

I don't really like "Jingle Bells." Well, "Jingle Bells" is an okay song, but when I think about the Christmas songs I really like, I seek ones that aren't really popular. I've always been attracted to the obscure and unusual.

Such as "Lo! How a Rose..." I really enjoy the Sufjan Stevens interpretation. Much slower than how I play it on the piano and less methodical. I don't know if "methodical" is the correct word, but what I'm trying to say is that he counts notes and rests differently than what I've heard before.
