Silent Night is my favorite to both hear and sing. Guess you could say it's my "go to" Christmas song out of the many many I love. Now if I'm in a not so serious mood...playful as it is...Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer would get my vote.

I love "Joy to the World". My bell choir plays a version that I just love. But, there are not too many Christmas songs that I don't like. Thanks for doing so many great giveaways!

'Celebrate Me Home' by Kenny Loggins. I'm not exactly sure why it's a holiday song but they only play it @ Christmas and I love it!
Great giveaways Ali!

I confess to a fondness for the heat miser/snow miser song in Year Without a Santa Claus, though I love many traditional songs too.

The twelve days of Christmas is my favorite right now. Singing this each year with my son who is now 9 years old and seeing how he improves each year on knowing the words to the song. Very funny when he was little.

For some reason, O Little Town of Bethlehem has been my favorite, ever since one day long ago when I was sitting in the library during college, looking out the window over the town just as all the lights were coming on in all the houses. Everything was snow covered, and that song just popped in my head. I've loved it ever since, and love dusk in winter. Second to that, 'Breath of Heaven' by Amy Grant.
