When I was young it was I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Now that I'm older I love Hark the herald Angles Sing. Especially with horns and trumpets playing.

For some reason, O Little Town of Bethlehem has been my favorite, ever since one day long ago when I was sitting in the library during college, looking out the window over the town just as all the lights were coming on in all the houses. Everything was snow covered, and that song just popped in my head. I've loved it ever since, and love dusk in winter. Second to that, 'Breath of Heaven' by Amy Grant.
