#but then at Christmas i just have zero patience for anything but the beautiful carols

[queenlucythevaliant]

All I want for Christmas is nothing but my favorite carols in church

#pro: the worship team is doing the first noel (my favorite) this week #con: we are also doing this ccm song i hate with really overcomplicated harmonies that no one has even bothered to write down #pro: we also get come thou long expected jesus #con: a steven curtis chapman song #i like to think I've gotten more tolerant of kinds of worship I don't vibe with as I've matured #but then at Christmas i just have zero patience for anything but the beautiful carols #like. Christmas has some of the richest and most beautiful music ever written for any reason. full stop #seculars and folks of other religions frequently agree on that #and for every generic ccm song we do at church that's a missed opportunity to do a carol #and like. I'm sure the ccm Christmas stuff moves someone #but i have yet to encounter a person who likes Christmas and dislikes the carols #and so so so many people have deep connections to them #idk #it's frustrating #pontifications and creations #unto us a child is born
