My favorite Christmas song is Jingle Bell Rock. I sang it as a duette in a Christmas concert once and it was my Mother's favorite song.

As always, lovely giveaways!
Right now my favorite song is "The First Noel" but that could be because I just had a daughter named Noelle so I sing that quite a bit!

I love "so this is Christmas". And "have yourself a merry little christmas" makes me cry everytime, but it also reminds me of my grandpa, since christmas was his very favorite time.

My favorite is "christmas wrapping" (I think that's what it's called) it's the one by the Waitresses with the line "You mean you forgot cranberries too?" ... It always makes me smile! :)

My absolute favorite Christmas song is I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas! I love it, because it brings back childhood memories. And now I love making new memories with my children listening to that song and many others. Thanks for the chance to win.

What wonderful giveaways - as always! And as always, I've got my fingers crossed! I am SO bad when it comes to having to pick a favorite anything, but if I really had to choose a favorite Christmas song it would be Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)...or maybe O Holy Night...or What Child Is This...

Ali great give away. Our family (2 grown children ages 40 and 38, both maried with children) started using a verse from Away In The Mangeras the bedtime prayer at Christmas time when they were little.and now our 2 oldest grand-daughters (ages 8 and 6 ) sing the verse for thier night time prayer. This has been a dear family tradition. It starts ...Be near me Lord Jesus...

Silent Night will always be my favorite. I think it is because I have great memories of many Chritmas Eve services where we ended the evening with the lights out, holding candles and singing Silent Night acapella. Love it.
