Merry Christmas INFJs!
Well if there was any Christmas song written specially for us INFJs(or even NFs in general), this probably has to be it.
Whenever I'm feeling down, I always play this and it really helps console my soul.
So here's "Vom Himmel Hoch da Komm Ich Her" - "From heaven on high I come hither", the rendition from the Polyhymnia caduceatrix of 1619.

(singing doesn't start til about 3:10 into it)
Here's a translation of the lyrics:
From heaven on high I come hither,
Bringing you good news;
So much good news do I bring
That of it I will sing and speak.
Today a little child is born to you
By a chosen virgin,
A child so tender and fine
Who shall be your joy and delight.
He is the Lord Christ, our God,
Who will lead you out of all distress;
He will be your Saviour himself,
Cleansing you from all sin.
He brings to you all the bliss
That God the Father has prepared,
So that you shall live with us
In the kingdom of heaven now and for evermore.
So mark now the sign aright,
The crib, the wretched swaddling clothes;
There you will find the child lying
Who will preserve and sustain the whole world.
Then let us all be joyful
And go in with the shepherds
To see what God has granted us,
Presented us with his dearest son.
Ah, my dear little Jesus,
Make yourself a clean soft cot
To rest in my heart’s shrine,
That I may never forget you.
Thereby let me be joyful at all times,
Ever free to leap and sing
The sweet notes of apt lullabies
With heartfelt joy.
Praise and glory be to God on his highest throne
Who bestows on us his only son,
At which the host of angels rejoices
And sings to us such a new year.
