    My favorite Christmas movie is a "Muppet Christmas Carol" which makes my favorite song the one sung by Tiny Tim: "Bless Us All" ... I look forward to breaking out the Christmas box to listen to it again :-)

    I can't believe all the goodies! Gosh, I'd sooooo love any of it!
    My favorite song is O' Holy Night. I first heard it sung by our preacher's son when I was about 8 years old and I've been hooked on it ever since!

    hI aLI! Thanks for the chance, great giveaways as always. My favorite Holiday song is Leja Dodi, it is really a Shabatt song, but in Jewish tradition Shabat is considered a Holiday.

    Being from Hawaii, I have to say my favorite holiday song is "Mele Kalikimaka". The song title means "Merry Christmas" in Hawaiian. My husband and I like to play music and we go to convalescent homes to sing at Christmas time. We have 6 gigs set up for the next three weeks.
    Aloha, Kate

    "Carol of the Bells" is a favorite. There are too many to mention though. "Let it Snow" is playing like a broken record in my head this week because I keep wishing for it to DUMP!
