I don't have any favorite Christmas music because I can't hear those songs, but I like "Merry & Broght" for quote.

I discovered the song Virgin's Lullaby last year at Christmas and I love it. My overall favorite EVER, though, is Joy to the World. And I can never get enough of Kathy Mattea's Christmas album called "Good News" - her version of Christ Child Lullaby is beautiful!!!

It's a toss up between the sweet one - Oh Holy Night and the fun one - Baby, It's Cold Outside. It all comes down to do I want to cry a little or laugh a little :)

This is a tough one...I love so many Christmas songs. In the past, I would have said one of the songs from the album "John Denver and Muppets A Christmas Together". I think this year it will be "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" by the Nitty, Gritty Dirt Band.

Living in San Antonio where there is no snow it's gotta be "Winter Wonderland", it reminds me of home.

Hands down it is "Silent Night". I even made a cd with every singer I could find singing Silent Night. So cool to go from one style to another but with the same wonderful message.
Thanks for the chance for so many giveaways.

I've always loved Silver Bells - It captures the excitement I felt as a kid when everything around seemed to be so full of magic and anticipation.
