Mary Did You Know? is my favorite holiday song. Makes me cry. But Bing Crosby's White Christmas is a close second.

Currently, its Jars of Clay's version of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day", but that usually changes from year to year. My favorite CD is Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve & Other Stories. It's been my CD fav since I first heard it years ago.

Like many others, my all time favourite classic Christmas song is Silent Night, it doesn't feel like Christmas until I hear it.

Any Christmas song sung by Bing Crosby. We love his Adeste Fideles and of course Jingle Bells featuring the Andrew Sisters is a family favorite. Thanks for the chance to win...have a wonderful weekend,

It's a toss up between Silent Night & white Christmas. Kenny Gee's holiday album is good too.

I love the Carol of Bells, but the really truth is they are all my favorites. My kids make fun of me because I get excited when a local radio station starts playing them a week prior to Thanksgiving.
