I think I'd have to say Silent Night too, although I have been able to sing the whole Messiah work with a choir and orchestra a few times at Christmas, and that is an incredible experience! Thanks for the chance to win!

What song to choose - I love Silent Night, Away In a Manger (now that I have kids!) and Good King Wenceslas. I do struggle with a lot of the traditional snogs now that mention snow and cold as I now live in the Southern Hemisphere!

I love Silent Night but "Rup up up up", Little Drummer Boy makes my heart sing because my youngest son (age 5) lights up when it comes on! He will ALWAYS be my Little Drummer Boy! (hey i just got a topic for one of my Dec. Daily's!) Would LOVE a photography class to go with it! ;)

The Huron Carol is my favorite from a musical standpoint--the minor key gets me every time. Lyrically, it would be The Christmas Song (chestnuts roasting).

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree! It reminds me of being a girl in the kitchen with my mom.....it would be blasting on the tape player and she would sing along to it! I thought she was a little crazy then, but what good memories now. :)
