My favorite carol is "O Holy Night". But, my kids and I LOVE Aly and AJ's "It's the Greatest Time of Year" that song makes us dance all around the house! One of our local radio stations started playing all christmas music November 1(till Christmas)...which seemed early, but it didn't take long for us to LOVE it. Thanks Ali!

I have not made it through a holiday season yet without shedding tears over "O Holy Night". This song just seems to sum up every emotion about the joyous and humble birth of our savior - the true spirit of Christmas Eve is wrapped up like a little package in its verses.
