Awesome give aways this week-end. I find myself singing Walking in a Winter Wonderland a lot this time of year. I think Joy to the World would also be a fave, but really it's so hard to pick just one because each brings different memories.

I'm another Silent Night gal. It is so peaceful. That song saved my sanity when singing it put my high energy newborn to sleep eight years ago. It still holds a special part of my heart because it pulls me back to the baby days on many levels.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway opportunity!

Great Big Sled by The Killers (by way of fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpXXpufFrP8
It has the cutest lyrics - "little boys have action toys for brains..."
Lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/a-great-big-sled-lyrics-the-killers.html
and like all their annual holiday releases, proceeds from this song went to AIDS charities as part of Bono's RED campaign.

My favorite Christmas song is "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree".
It was a Christmas my mom visited me and bought a snowman that danced to this song, really cute! The Snowman broke just last Christmas... My mom cried when it broke, she said it reminded her of the Happiest Times!
