Hi Ali,
My favourite holiday song is 'Let it snow' which is REALLY weird becuase Christmas is summer here and we usually have a Barbie and go to the beach for Christmas.
But the idea of a white Christmas is so enticing - it would be really great to do it at least once!

"O Holy Night" holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my dad who is no longer with us and I also love "Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer (hee hee hee)
