How does someone pick just one Chrisdmas song? They all bring back such wonderful memories of the season. But since your asking, today it would have to be Baby its cold out side. Tomorrow, it will be something different.

Great questions!
For spirit - A'Soalin by Peter Paul and Mary.
For fun, Baby, It's Cold Outside sung by Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews.
If you don't have it, Ali, you should check out the Sesame Street Christmas CD - some great songs for kids - my grade 6 class loves it!

Well not the ordinary choice but one a music-mad friend introduced me to in the 80s...Christmas at K-Mart...with its infamous line - "Well this must be heaven, cause hell is Christmas at the 7-11." It always makes me laugh and remember how good I really do have it.
Wonderful giveaways as always Ali!

I have so many favorite Christmas songs including White Christmas, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Silent Night and many more but I think Mary Did You Know? gives us a small glimpse of what we are really celebrating. Thanks for the opportunity!
