A favorite song??? VERY hard to choose. I have great memories that warm my soul when I hear "Do You Hear What I Hear". I love to consider the true meaning of Christmas as the holidays approach!

My favorite is hearing my kids sing the 12 Days of Christmas. They come up with new lyrics each time they sing it. It is so funny!

I have to go back to my childhood for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman both sung by Gene Autry. These were new songs when I was very young so I grew up with them.
