my favorite Christmas song of all time is the twelve days of Christmas sung by the muppets. Love it. My favorite part is when Beaker and Bunsen sing "seven swans a swimming" and you hear Beaker's "me me me me me me". I crack up every single time.

Wow! What amazing prizes you have this week. I would love to win any of them. There are quite a few Christmas songs that I love. I really love O Holy Night done by Josh Groban and White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby.

Yay! Love this Cocoa Daisy Kit! O Holy Night is my all time fave. Celine Dion does a good version. She does a good version of most any song.

I have a hard time choosing a favorite Christmas song. I love O Holy Night. I also love hearing the Hallelujah Chorus.

Melekalikimaka (or however it's spelled) is the Hawaiian way to say Merry Christmas by Johnny Mathis

I sing Silent Night to my boys all year long! and anything from the Celine Dion 'These Are Special Times' album are wonderful...her voice is so beautiful!

I think my favorite Christmas song has to be Silent Night sung at church with candles lit. That is one of my favorite childhood memories of Christmas.
Cool giveaways too!

Thanks for another great giveaway!

Loved skimming the many comments on this and seeing people's favorites and reasons. I like the light-heartedness of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

These are such great giveaways - thanks! My favorite holiday song is "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - I wish Dean Martin and Zooey Deschanel could do it together!

I love the song Mary Did You Know... Kenny Rogers has the most wonderful voice (and clay Aiken doesn't sing it too badly himself!). Whenever I hear it, I remember the reason we celebrate Christmas, plus I think of how special MY son is. Great prizes as always! thanks, Ali
