Once, many a moon ago, I arranged this for 4-piece choir and unleashed it upon my music theory class at UCLA.
I dislike Christmas music with a fairly intense passion, but I do make a few exceptions. When you're not a Christian sometimes this season feels like you're getting punched in the face every day.
That said, I do have a "Radio Free Xmas", that I will unleash upon you tomorrow.
As for the chorale, I got an A. I wish I had recorded her performance.
@Animeraider actually, that carol is pre-Christian in symbolism.
"invoked as a synonym for Christmas. Yuletide is the much older of the two words; its first half, yule, derives from an Old English noun geōl. Both geōl and its etymological cousin from Old Norse (jōl) referred to a midwinter pagan festival that took place in December."

Christian King Hakon of Norway passed a law that Christmas and Yuletide celebrations were to be celebrated at the same time.
