Thanks for the opportunity. I love many Christmas songs but "O Little Town of Bethlehem" is always a favorite!

My favorite holiday song would probably be "O Holy Night", but a very close second would be "Carol of the Bells".

I don't know why, but since I was just a little girl, hearing O Holy Night gives me goosebumps.

I love the song Christmas Shoes. It reminds me to slow down and actually "see" what is going on around me. Not to be so wrapped up in buying gifts that I miss someone that needs my help.
Thanks for the chance!

There are so many songs that I like and I actually don't have a one and only favorite. But to pick one, this is one I like: "All I want for Christmas is you".
Happy Thanksgiving!
