"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" is one of my newest favorite Christmas songs, especially the version redone by Casting Crowns- but honestly, most Christmas music is my favorite music :D

Does the whole Josh Groban Christmas cd count? His voice paired with traditional songs is a match made in Heaven. I really like his version of "O Come All Ye Faithful".

My fav song is Mariah Careys "All I want for Christmas is you". I like the beat in it and the lyrics remind me that I really don't need the material things.
