Pagan Solstice Carols

And it bugs me every time I hear the word "Christmas" in the music, which I actually do like.  I feel like I'm being beaten over the head with it: "You are the weird one for not following a holiday which has been twisted and commercialized from its original meaning on another holiday that has been plagiarized from your religion."  Yeah, I gots issues.  And Pagan versions of songs will most likely never be played on the radio, at least, not in my lifetime.
But I did realize in my singing along to the radio (don't worry, no one was present for the audial atrocity committed) that "Solstice" and "Christmas" rhyme.  So I substitued Solstice accordingly.  It's only taken me six years to figure that one out.  Yes, I are teh genius.
This website has some good Pagan-friendly versions of carols.  Such as using "Yuletide" in "Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas."  I figure it's only fair to use Christian carols since they did co-opt our holiday first.
