My favourite Christmas song is from the album "The Christmas Piano" by Debbie Fortnum, and the song is called "The Music of Emmanuel". I hope you all are getting excited that Christmas is coming just like me!!!

I love anything Bing. But in all honesty, the one Christmas song I find myself singing all year?...."I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!"

Lots of likes, but a favorite has to be It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Thanks for all these posts--I'll be able to make a better Christmas CD for Secret Santa at work!

I've always liked the non-traditional songs, most that no one else even knows. Recently my favorite has been "It Was Not A Silent Night". I've also always liked "It Wasn't His Child" and "Thistlehair the Christmas Bear"

I love "Walking IN a Winter Wonderland" since it brings the essence of the season to its listeners. There is happiness,fun, laughter, snow, beauty, and romance all rolled up into one song. What a seasonal treat!

At the moment I'm loving "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" because I played it for my 5 year old son the other day and he's been singing it ever since. He still has his two front teeth but found it amusing listening to the original with the lisp.
