Peace on earth and mercy mild. God and sinner reconciled. I love "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" It makes me happy whenever I hear it. It encapsulates the religious side of the holiday for me: Peace, mercy and unconditional love.
It also reminds me of George Carlin's joke that it's really about listening for the LA Herald's softball team. And that always makes me smile, too.
I really like Good Christian Men Rejoice, With Heart And Soul And Voice... (although I prefer Good Christians All Rejoice, instead of Men).
