Ave Maria always evokes such emotion. Most Christmas songs bring me to tears. Not necessarily sad tears!

Favorite holiday song - so funny you should ask!! We have been blaring and dancing to Christmas tunes all day!! A favorite here is "All I want for Christmas is you" by Mariah Carey, "Another Christmas Song" Steven Colbert and of course "Baby it's cold outside". But around these parts if it's a Christmas Song it's a favorite (we even listen to them in July in the car - sshhh!) Love the giveaways as always! Thanks for the chance!!! And the tips on the great products out there!

For me, one of my favorites is Silent Night. It reminds me of the spirit of the season and instills a few moments of peace and quiet whenever I hear it.
