These are amazing! I started digital scrapbooking earlier this year, and I would LOVE to take Jessica's class! Fingers crossed!
I have so many favorite Holiday songs, it is hard to pick just one! Silent Night is one of them, though!

I would love to win the photography class, but my favorite holiday song is for Thanksgiving is "The Gathering" by Wm. Acherman (Windham Collection) and for Christmas it is "O Come All Ye Faithful".

My hands down favorite is Silver Bells! It always takes me back to my youth and the memory of when me and my cousins would stand by the piano at my Grandma's house while she played this beautiful old song!

Silent Night is my favorite. We sang it in grade school in French when I was little and although the translation hasn't stuck the memory of it has.

In The Bleak Midwinter is a pretty amazing song- and I don't think I have ever been able to sing the last verse without tearing up. Maybe I am just a sap!

It's so hard to have one favorite. I think for now I'll go with Silent Night. But on the sillier side I do love hearing the Chipmunks and Muppets at least once during the season ;)
Thanks for the chance to win! All the give-aways look awesome this weekend!

I actually have a couple of favs---O Holy Night and Twas in the Moon of Wintertime. I just love Christmas music--just turn on the Christmas station on my Satellite radio.

I love "I'll be home for Christmas."

I don't think there is a Christmas Carol that I don't like, but Jingle Bells is a favourite and so is the Aussie version!

So hard to choose a favorite! One would have to be The River, and I love Sarah McLachlan's version on Wintersong. Such a soft mellow sound. If I were choosing my favorite fun song, definitely Baby Its Cold Outside!
