Elvis Presley's "Silver bells" brings me right back to my childhood Christmas', smelling the ham cooking and hearing mum singing along in the kitchen.

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear I won't allow myself to listen to Christmas CDs until the day after Thanksgiving. We've also a station in the Twin Cities that plays nothing but Christmas songs between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's great. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

My favorite song is "Santa Claus" by Harry Connick Jr. Now, I will have "Happy Ho Ho Ho is you" running thru my head. (If you have not heard this, I highly recommend the catchy little song)

Oh I love so many Holiday Songs for different reasons. Silent Night in both English and Spanish. Joy to the World for lifting your spirits. Oh Holy Night for emotion in church. Heat Mizer for fun during the Holiday Specials. The Sounds of the Season make the season.

"Silent Night" on Christmas Eve at church, lights off with everyone holding a candle.
Or the "chestnuts roasting..." song for a vintage twist!
Thanks for the giveaways!

Love, love, love all christmas music. If I have to pick a favorite at the moment it would be Frosty the Snowman because my daughter loves dancing to it. Thanks, as always for the inspiration and joyful giveaways.

Sleigh Ride by Babyface is a winner. The jazzy breakdown at the 2 minute mark always makes me dance. But I think jazz + Christmas music = magic!
Thanks!!
