I love the old Christmas music...Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis. It is not Christmas in my house without their music.

My favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night" - I have memories of my mother belting it out and us all trying to join in... it's a challenging one to sing but so beautiful.

What a great giveaway! I love so many that it is difficult to choose....I guess it would have to be Silver Bells :)

I like Jingle Bells, because it's my youngest daughter's favorite and she's so cute when she sings it.

Silent Night

Have to agree...the Johnny Mathis CD is my all-time fave, but to narrow it down to songs, I'd have to say that it's Sleigh Ride for the last couple of years with Baby, It's Cold Outside creeping up in the ranks! Just got the Glee Christmas album, and love the Kurt and Blaine version! :D Thanks for the giveaway chance...really awesome this week!!!

I have so many favorites I must own over 15 Christmas CD's I love Santa Baby and The Christmas Song.

It has to be either "O Holy NIght" by Josh Groban or I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" from HOme Alone--never get tired of Holiday music! Thanks Ali!

Silent Night It's such a beautiful song and speaks right to the Christmas spirit.

Awesome give aways this week-end. I find myself singing Walking in a Winter Wonderland a lot this time of year. I think Joy to the World would also be a fave, but really it's so hard to pick just one because each brings different memories.
