    I have always thought that "A Spaceman came travelling" was an unusual song & I really like that, but the one that *always* makes me feel festive is the old hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful" when played by a brass band!

    I have three! The traditional one: Hark the Herald Angels Sing // the kid favorite: Rudolph, the Red nosed reindeer // the one that makes me sigh and creates this quiet, peaceful, snowed-in atmosphere: At Christmas (by Hanson) :) But just reading the first few comments makes all kinds of songs chime in my head - thanks everyone!

    Oh, so many but I'll go with Joy to the World. Mass always ends with that one and it never fails to make me smile. I also love the entire first Point of Grace Christmas CD.

    Ave Maria always evokes such emotion. Most Christmas songs bring me to tears. Not necessarily sad tears!
