What a tough question - I like so many! I think it has to be "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing", as I remember singing it as a child for a church Christmas program while holding a lighted candle with hot wax dripping on my hand!!

I have to say Silent Night. I sing it when I want to make someone laugh. I also sing it at family Birthdays instead Happy Birthday - weird tradition.
I also love Do They Know It's Christmas and White Christmas and so many others.

I love Thank God for Kids by Alabama and Bing Crosby's Count Your Blessings. Two songs from nostalgic holiday moments at my house growing up. I remember listening to them in the car on cassette tapes and at home while we watched Christmas movies together as a family.

All time favorite is "O Holy Night" (sung by Reba McIntyre) and John Cougar-Mellencamp's rendition of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". The first one brings tears to my eyes and the second just makes me happy!!

I LOVE these giveaways and I LOVE Christmas music. Hard to say if I have a favorite, but I always love hearing the Peanuts gang sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing and a favorite moment of the entire holiday season is singing Silent Night at the 11 pm church service on Christmas Eve with only the candles and the lights on the tree lit. Thanks for a chance to win!
