    I have a bunch of favorites. Right now, I'm ready to pull out Point of Grace's version of "Angels We Have Heard on High." It was played in my kid's first Christmas pageant, and makes me tear up every time I hear it. "O Holy Night" and "Breath of Heaven" are definite faves, too.

    My favorite Christmas song would have to be Christmas List. It's such an uplifting song no matter who preforms it, but my favorite xmas cd is definitely the 1st Mariah xmas album, she sings her heart out and so does my family when it comes on. ;)
