Anyone Know the Name of Some Latin Christmas Carols?

I absolutely love Latin Christamas carols. People say Latin is a dead language, but I love hearing and singing in Latin in church.

1. Feliz Navidad
2. feliz navidad
3. Maybe try the web, or a catholic church for info.
4. Feliz Navidad is Spanish. Adeste Fideles is Latin. Though it does have an English equivalent.
5. adestedies fidalies- oh come all ye faithful
6. You might look up Adeste Fideles (Oh come all you faithful) - it sounds a whole lot better in latin.
7. I remember in high school the foreign language classes had to do a big to-do for christmas and everyone sung christmas songs/carols in the language they studied. my favorite latin christmas song.... tintinaculation --ie jingle bells. it was a lot of syllables jammed up together to the tune of jingle bells.
8. adeltes fidelis ave maria Veni, Emmanuel: (O Come, Emmanuel) Veni, veni Emmanuel! Captivum solve Israel! Qui gemit in exilio, Privatus Dei Filio, Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel Nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, veni o oriens! Solare nos adveniens, Noctis depelle nebulas, Dirasque noctis tenebras. Gaude, gaude Emmanuel Nascetur pro te, Israel. Veni, veni Adonai! Qui populo in Sinai Legem dedisti vertice, In Maiestate gloriae. Gaude, gaude Emmanuel Nascetur pro te Israel. Regis olim urbe David : (Once in Royal David's City) Regis olim urbe David, Sub bovili misero, Mater posuit infantem In praesaepi pro lecto: Mitis Maria mater; Iesus Christus is puer. De caelo ad nos descendit Deus, Dominus orbis; Ei tectum est bovile Et praesaepe pro cunis. Pauperum virum amator Sancte vixisti Salvator. Et puertiam per miram Observanter parebat Virgini eidem matri, Quae cum pepererat: Tentent et discipuli Esse similes ei. Nam exemplum ille nobis: Nostri crescebat instar; Parvus quondam, imbecillus, Flens et ridens nobis par, Perticeps tristitiae Idem et laetitiae. Tandem illum nos cernemus Ex amore aeterno: Puer enim ille parvus Summo regnat iam caelo, Atque eo nos ducit Quo et ipse praeiit. Nec in stabulo misello, Bubus prope stantibus, Tunc videbitur, sed celsus, Sedens Deo proximus: Comites tum coronati Circumstabunt candidati
9. Ave Maria is my favorite. It is just the most beautiful song. I have a collection of different versions of it on my hard drive. My favorite is actually done by Harry Connick Jr although Pavarotti (who's name I am sure I butchered) does an excellent version as well.
