There are so many beautiful Christmas songs that it would be hard to pick one favorite. Any of the songs like Silent Night, or Away in a Manger.

Anything from the Mitch Miller sing along album. It came with song sheets and I would hand them out to my friends when they came over and my parents "allowed" me to use the giant record player to play that record during Christmas...I don't have a record player anymore and a friend of mind put it on CD for me a couple of years ago and it's a happy step back in time....

Its crazy, but I got a Kenny Rogers CD years ago called the gift, and I just LOVE the whole thing, all the songs are terrific, and I'm not even a country music fan. It comes out every year, and every year it's my fav.

I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24 (Instrumental)" song. We saw a beautiful light display, on a 40-foot Christmas tree, set to that song and it was truly beautiful. Every time I hear the song, it takes me back to that moment.

Great prizes! My favorite Christmas song is White Christmas from Bing Crosby. I used to listen to it as a kid with my mom. It was one of her favorites too.

"O Holy Night" is my favorite Christmas song if I had to pick one. "Silent Night" is right behind it. Merry Christmas (early) everyone! Thanks Ali.
