For Christmas, why are vestments purple/violet and not white or gold.

Could it be that being 20th December this Carol Service of course is taking place in Advent (not a Christmas Eve Midnight Mass)?

Beautiful, but seriously what's with the choir director and the moves?

He's learned from Stephen Cleobury of King's College Chapel. He too directs like a whirling windmill. Lots a "English" in those cues!

I know I'm just an organist. But isnt he supposed to be facing the congregation?

Landon Durrant He is directing the choir not the congregation.

He's directing a choir, not 'performing a spectacle in front of the altar of God'.

"spectacle" Why the harsh judgement.?. Are you a professional conductor? Are you an organist? Have you ever had to accompany a choir (as organist) seated at an organ console a city block away from the choir relying on nothing but a rear view mirror (or a cctv monitor at best) to watch a conductor.?.

As a retired choir director, (and far from being the be-all, end-all authority), I'm still a bit amused (bemused?) at the choirmaster's "wind up and pitch" when conducting the final descant. Really? I was always taught that less movement (well-placed and well-planned) is almost always more. Just my opinion. The choir sounds lovely, and the organist is certainly quite talented.
