I just love Christmas music so much that choosing just one (or even a dozen!) favorite(s) is impossible, but one that is very meaningful to me is called "Immanuel" by Point of Grace-in addition to being a beautiful song, it tells a wonderful Christmas story.
Thanks for the chance at the amazing prizes!

My favorite Christmas song is called "When the King was Born." It was written by a little independent Christian group called Freely Born. I heard them sing it during Branson show and was thrilled to find it available for download on their MySpace. I was listening to it today and got tears in my eyes. Excellent song.

I love all Christmas music, but if I had to pick I'd say "The Christmas Song" is my fav... although "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas" makes me laugh!

My daughter just turned 18 months. The day we were in the car and "Up on the Housetop" by Gene Autry came on. From the back seat I heard "Ho, Ho, Ho"...her first Christmas words. That's my favorite song right now! :)

I love "O come, O come Emmanuel". It is such a reminder to me about why I'm celebrating...plus I love the haunting melody. Next to that would be the soundtrack from "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

It's hard to narrow it down to a favorite song. But my favorite Christmas CD is "When My Heart Finds Christmas" by Harry Connick, Jr.
