My favorite Song for this time of the year is a German one: "O du fröhliche, o du selige!" I just love it because it reminds me of my childhood!

It depends of the year really... one song will raise above all every year. Last year, I couldn't get enough of "Baby it's cold outside" and they are numerous versions of them. I prefer the one with Anne Muray & Michael Bublé..the year before it was "Driving home for Christmas"... but my all time favorite is "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney. When I start hearing it, that means that we are starting the holidays season for real. Thanks for the giveaway and it was a great idea to ask this question. ;D

My favorite Christmas songs are all hymns-- they are so beautiful and FULL of meaning. Of them, I would say that "Lo, How a Rose" is one that can bring tears to my eyes.
Thank you for the amazing giveaways :) The kit is simply gorgeous!

Wow, that's a hard one. I love so many Christmas songs! Well off the top of my head I'd say Breath of Heaven sung by Amy Grant, and Silent Night on Christmas Eve at church when we light the candles in the last verse. :)
