Favorite - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Very special memories associated with that song. For fun, I love the Muppets' "One More Sleep 'Til Christmas."

I love the song "Candlelight Carol" that was written by John Rutter. My choir sang it in the Candlelight processional at Disneyland and it always makes me cry. I began to love it even more when Neil Diamond (my favorite singer) recorded his own version :)

What an amazing giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
Let's see, my favorite holiday song. That is a difficult one. Right now I think I'd have to say "Away In A Manger." My son has a little people nativity set that plays this song and my 11 mo. old twins LOVE to press the button to hear the music.

Tough to choose. Going to have to go with a traditional - Good King Wenceslas, and a modern - Christians and the Pagens. Both have good messages about how to treat your fellow man despite differences, and that chokes me up. Peace of Earth!

Blue Christmas by Elvis featuring Martina McBride, what a combination of 2 of the best voices. I grew up listening to Elvis music playing on my mom and dad's lp stereo at Christmas time so when they combined Martina's voice(my favorite singer) with my mom's foavorite(Elvis) it was magic for me and the video is just as cool!
