Do you find Christmas carols a bit depressing or do they fill you with some kind of joy?

Whenever I hear Christmas carols I feel really sad! I have no real idea why I should – I love songs and singing. Part of me finds them so meloncholic (thats spelt wrong sorry!). It is like some kind of haunting from the long distant past chistmas’ and a echoy sadness for the future christmas’ which will happen when I am long gone. I really cant understand where this extreme feeling of greif comes from in connection to christmas!!

Does anyone eles experience this or how do you experience the sounds of christmas carols? Carols are quite evoking of emotions it seems. What emotions do they evoke in you?
