I have so many favorites for different reasons. The one that's been on repeat the most here lately is Lady Antebellum's version of All I Want for Christmas is You. I love the way they sing it.

I don't celebrate christmas..but love the music. My favorite song is Christmas Shoes. Very touching and displays the true spirit of the season. I am grappling with this season and how to celebrate the one year anniversary of my grandfather's passing on my mom's birthday (December 4th) and Chanukkah all happing at the same time. Grappling also with putting together a memory album of my Grandfather's life which I have pictures for, but it the hardest thing for me to get started on.
Ideas.

Alvin and the Chipmunks singing Christmas Don't Be Late is my favorite and has been for years. My poor dad would play that over and over on long car rides to keep me from getting motion sickness, whether it was Christmas or not.

I love Christmas and I love Christmas songs and Christmas Carols, done or invented! I love "Deck the Halls" (AKA Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la). I think it's very lively and jolly. Walking in the winter wonderland is also a fave of mine... I just love Christmas, such a lovely time of the year! <3
