One Little Word class for 2012.
adfAliAlisTHE PROJECT
Ali says: “Last year I decided I wanted to do something even more tangible with my One Little Word. I’ve found that, just like a resolution, it’s easy to lose sight of the things you set forward to embark on as regular life gets busy throughout the course of the year. To combat this I plan to bring my word into my life more consciously and concretely and make it more visible by creating an album to hold my thoughts, challenges and inspirations”.
You’re invited to join me on this journey
Ali’s class includes:
-
Pre-class assignment available to you immediately upon registration for class
-
Monthly email reminder when the classroom has been updated
-
Welcome note from Ali in the classroom each month
-
One creative prompt per month: prompts will include printable elements (for use in both Photoshop Elements and Word) to create the interior pages in your album
-
Colorful handout detailing the prompt and the creative assignment
-
Monthly video message
-
Community building message board for sharing thoughts on your word
-
Gallery for sharing your word-related projects

My days are full of sewing, trying to enjoy home schooling, crafting, snuggling, avoiding the laundry, sneaking bites of chocolate, and wondering “Will anyone notice if I just take a nap?”. I am also the fabric-hoarding, late-night working girl behind the pleated poppy, my little online shop where i get to create bits of goodness and send them out to customers far and wide. I so hope you find a home in my blog, that you stay awhile and peruse through my archives – start with tutorials or birthdays – those are fun ones!

All you need to do to enter to win all FOUR of these prizes is comment below with your answer to this question …
What is your favorite holiday song and why?
Thanks so much to our FOUR FABULOUS artists!
~We’ll see you tomorrow~
am i the first one!! woo hoo!! well i love all the traditional Christmas songs and Hymns, but i have to say that among my faves are Joy to the world, Silent night and we Three Kings!! thanks for the great goodies!!
Definitely “Carol of the Bells”
My favorite Christmas song is A Cradle in Bethlehem by Sara Groves. I listened to this song a few years ago and have not been able to get it out of my head since. I actually listen to her Christmas album “O Holy Night” all through the year.It is that good! Thank you for a great chance to win a great giveaway!
Winter by Comateens. What, you’ve never heard of it? This is a song by an early NYC new wave group. It’s not a holiday song exactly, but it captures the often bittersweet nostalgia that winter brings. It throw it onto my holiday mixes for a little diversity. My traditional face is Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.
I love “O Holy Night” for a classic but for a fun, playful song I love “All I Want For Christmas Is a Hippopotamus” :) Thanks so much for the opportunity to win all these fabulous give aways :) Merry Christmas to you and yours!
LOVE Josh Groban BELIEVE! It captures the essence of Christmas with kids for me so beautifully! Polar Express is a part of our Christmas Eve tradition and I always feel warm and emotional when that song plays and I’m piled in the middle of all my littles on the sofa! Good stuff!
I really love most of them but with the weather today I have to pick Baby It’s Cold Outside. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have a gift for you …. Rum tu tum tum …. little Drummer Boy has been my favorite Christmas song since I first watched the movie on TV. Very inspirational. Thanks for all the gifts you give to others.
The Little Drummer Boy– as a little girl I remember my mom saying it was her favorite Christmas song – it became mine too!
Mary, Did You Know? would be my favorite Christmas song because without Jesus there wouldn’t be Christmas.
Favorite song….For laughs it’s Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. We used to listen to this all the time when we were younger & would use horrible country accents to sing it. Just being silly in the car on the drive to see family.
Otherwise. I love White Christmas. That’s just the song that’ll get me in the Christmas spirit. Still haven’t heard it yet this year!
I love, love, love Christmas carols– and my family can tell you– I start singing them every year before Thanksgiving and continue until New Year’s Day! They really take me back to my childhood and the joy and wonder that the Christmas season brings! :-) I think my favorite is Lullay, Lullay — it is soooo beautiful!!
Now, let me just say, “WOW!!!” What an incredible giveaway!!!! Thank you for giving us a chance to win one of these wonderful prizes!!!! :-)
Wow, another hard choice! I have to pick “Have A Holly Jolly Christmas”, because it reminds of when my boys were small and we would watch the Christmas cartoon shows on TV, leading up the the big day. It was so fun to watch their faces and see how excited they were about Christmas!
My favorite is def Mary Did You Know because it is a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. I love to close my eyes and listen to the words. Great song.
O Holy Night is my favorite. I haven’t heard a rendition of it that I don’t just love.
Great sponsors today. Thanks for the insights to these new artists.
Hard to choose a favorite… but right now “O Holy Night” comes to mind. The right versions give me goosebumps, and it helps me remember what Christmas is all about. :)
Thanks for the chance to win this generous giveaway!
It’s hard to choose a single favorite, but right now, “O Holy Night” comes to mind. Certain versions of it give me goosebumps, and it helps me remember what Christmas is all about. :)
Thanks for the chance to win this generous giveaway!
*blush* Oops… The first time I tried to comment, I got an error page, so I tried again… Sorry about the duplicate!
There are so many that I love. Two of my favorites are It Came Upon a Midnight Clear and Still, Still, Still.
Homeless by Michael McClean b/c it puts a different perspective on the reason for the season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2St75mAJqI
I agree with “O Holy Night”-gives me goosebumps!
I love O Holy Night. It makes me feel peaceful.
My favorite holiday song is “Baby Please Come Home”, the U2 version. I don’t know why I like it so much, but I listen to it everyday during the Xmas season.
HZ fabric get in my stash NOW!!!
Thanks for the chance!
O Holy Night
May favorite song of the holidays is: I’ll be Home for Christmas. It reminds me of my late father. I always think he is standing there right next to me when I hear it and all the happy memories come flooding back!
Happy Holidays!
-Diana
Mine is Harry Connick Jr.’s When My Heart Finds Christmas :)
Elvis – I’ll be home for Christmas! Love this one. thanks for the great giveaways!
My favorite is”White Christmas” sung by Bing Crosby. I grew up in Vermont, so I LOVE(and always hope for) snow at Christmas, and the movie that this song is from takes place(mostly) at an inn in Vermont. Every time I hear his voice singing this song, I am transported back to those wonderful, snowy Christmases of my childhood!
It would have to be Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, I love this song and I can remember hearing it all my life and it really puts me in the Christmas mood.
My favourite song is Little Drummer Boy.
I remember singing it in the school choir for the Christmas concert every year.
Quite a while ago:)
I love the song, ‘Sweet Little Jesus Boy’ by Casting Crowns. It’s such a beautiful song about Christ’s birth!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by N Sync – yes so teen pop from a few years ago BUT it is so upbeat and cheery and definitely friendly to other religious beliefs. While I’m a Christian I love that the song says “No matter what you’re holiday, it’s time to celebrate.” Also the song highlights that it’s a time of year based around the family which is so perfect. I love the holidays for being able to spend time with the family. My mom and I start the Christmas music playing in mid-November to my step-dad’s chagrin! ( :
I cant believe you have wonderful giveaways!! I hope I win!!
Oh I forgot to answer the question! Its ” You’re a mean one Mr. Grinch with Jim Carey. I just love that movie.
Oh I love ALL Christmas music!!! I wish it was socially acceptable to listen to it all year round b/c baby I would!!! My most favorite song is The Carol of The Bells… LOVE LOVE LOVE that song! I had to sing it in a chorus concert as a kid and have loved it ever since!
O Holy Night, because it just stirs my soul every time I hear it.
That’s a hard question. My favorite song changes all the time. But I think right now my favorite Christmas song would have to be “It’s About the Cross” sung by both Go Fish and the Ball Brothers. I really like it because it shows very well why I celebrate Christmas. :)
I like the traditional Christmas songs, but I do like Joy to the World, Silent Night and A little Drummer Boy. I remember the last as one I like as a child.
Thanks for the giveaways.
What talented ladies. Would love to win any prize.
Lucy & Linus by Vince Guaraldi. I love the Peanuts and as soon as I hear this on the radio, I know it’s Christmas time. LOVE IT!!!!
My favorite Christmas Song is Away in a Manger. It’s a simple song, but reveals the true meaning of why we celebrate Christmas – the birth of a child – Jesus. It’s a song that takes me back to childhood days. Here is a little more history:
Away in a manager is always the first carol that children are taught. Away in a Manger was originally published in 1885. The publication of Away in a Manger was in a Lutheran Sunday school book and this created the misconception that the lyrics of Away in a Manger were actually written by Martin Luther himself. The author is unknown. The music to the Away in a Manger carol was composed by William J. Kirkpatrick in 1895.
So cute. I love Silient Night…. I reminds me of the calm winter snow.
Wow this list of give-a-ways is impressive! Even winning one of these items would be great!
Silent Night… its such a peaceful song
My favorite holiday song is Oh Holy Night because i’ve heard it so many different ways yet it still makes me emotional when I hear the words of the song…”fall on your knees…”
White Christmas! hands down favorite. Nothing says Christmas for me like a croon by Bing.
Ha ha! My favorite song hands down is Adam Sandler’s the Hannukah song. Love, love that one. Great, great giveaway by the way.
The Carol of the Bells has always been one of favorites. I love the “twinkling” sound of the music. It always makes me stop and listen.
“O Come All Ye Faithful” has got to be my favorite … of course, all the traditional Christmas carols are wonderful. I love Amy Grant’s version of “O Come All Ye Faithful”, but I love to hear it sung by the Kids’ Choir at church too!
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, sung by Nat King Cole
Oh my this one makes me feel so warm and cozy when Nat sings, the melody of his voice is so soothing along with the beautiful cozy lyrics! It ALWAYS makes me feel at home, and makes me reflect on my childhood memories of Christmas pasts and all the family gatherings and dinners with the anticipation of Santa coming! I love love love this song!
Oh Come All Ye Faithful, beautiful and moving. I especially love the version that Luther Vandross sang, his voice gives me the chills. Perfect holiday song.
My favorite Christmas song is Good Kink Wenceslas because it remind me of being little again as I never hear the song anymore.
All Christmas music is wonderful and I have several favorites. Little Drummer Boy is a favorite from childhood. We had a music box that played that song when I was growing up. Hearing that song always puts me in the Christmas mood!
ohhhhhh…..the happy zombie is my fresh, new hero!!!!! would love her bundle!
My favorite Christmas song… Well. Id have to say ‘Where Are you Christmas’ from the Grinch soundtrack. =) I love that song.
Oops, I forgot to answer the question. My favorite holiday tune is “The Little Drummer Boy” as sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. But then I have always liked the music and the animated version of the Little Drummer Boy. My second favorite is the “Heat Miser/Snow Miser” song from “The Year Without A Santa Clause”. I suppose I like this one because the Heat Miser has red hair like my husband, and they argue just like my won teenage boys do.
I love ‘Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming.’ I think it’s beautiful! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
O Holy Night is my favorite holiday song – seems more like a hymn to me though. I’ve always loved it. I still get “goose bumps” when I hear it.
I love the classic song Winter Wonderland, because I can sing along and I know all of the words! I find myself singing it all year long, even in the summer.
My favourite song is Silent Night. It has beautiful emotion and really captures the meaning of Christmas :)
Sarah B – we posted the same thing at the same time…wow, that is weird and cool at the same time :) Merry Christmas to you! – catherine
my favorite is Silent Night – reminds me of when I used to live in my country “Mexico” and celebrated the posadas – nine days prior to the 24th with everyone in the community, and singing this song on the 24th as everyone came together to celebrate the birth of Jesus! I miss all these celebrations – and this song brings back all those beautiful memories I lived as a child!
Happy Holidays to all!
Silent Night…every time I hear it, I get all teary…every time. It reminds me of the true reason of CHRISTmas…our gift from God, His Son. Merry Christmas and thanks for the chance to win!
Santa Clause is Coming To Town! It’s my favourite, because he knows when you are sleeping, too. Heh, a little creepy, right? LOLS! Heh.
My favorite holiday song is “Jingle Bell Rock” by Brenda Lee. I love it because it’s so upbeat and it makes me smile every time I hear it. Thanks for the great giveaway!!
That is a very difficult question to answer. If you asked which I didn’t like, I could answere that much faster since the numbers are miniscule. I would say, my favorite Holiday Song is Sleigh Ride. It always brings a smile to my face and I remember playing that in the High School band during our Christmas Concerts.
“What Child is This” Whenever I hum this is the tune. I hummed it or I sang it to my daughter and then my grandchildren. I hum it while doing house work, I hum it while in the shower. Don’t know why for sure – I think it was one of my mother’s favorites.
Have to add a second one that is quite a bit different: “Ay, Ay, Ay, It’s Christmas” by Ricky Martin – makes me dance!
O Holy Night is beautiful and I love hearing it play at Christmas. I’ll Be Home for Christmas is another favorite.
Silent Night, because my mamaw taught me how to play it on the piano!
Why…. Deck the Halls of course! ; ) Nothing like the holidays to get your creative juices flowing and a festive tune to keep you in the mood for Christmas! Hope I win!
I must say my family loves “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!” It is a fun, catchy kids tune that I just can’t get enough of! It is literally the top song on our Christmas playlist and the one song my 6 and 9 year olds ask for repeatedly!
I love Carol of the Bells! It is such a happy song!
I love “O Holy Night” because it’s the song my mother sang when she was pregnant with me. My grandmother was in the audience and watched my pregnant mother sing this song a capella on the stage of an old mission in Santa Barbara. She kept poking everyone, “That is MY daughter-in-law!” She sang it to me all through my childhoold and I now sing it to my girls, I get teary-eyed every time.
Joy to the World. I would say because the song is upbeat, the meaning, AND its the only one I can play on the piano!
Jingle Bells is my favorite Christmas song, reminds me of being a kid!
All I want for christmas by mariah carey because its fun and upbeat as well as Silent night because its reflective of the season
My fav Christmas song is Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
My favorite holiday song is “So This is Christmas” by John Lennon. It’s a song that puts me in a good frame of mind – warms my spirit – and honestly just has a great message. Maroon Five also has a version of this song and I love it just as much. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide to women around the world.
Happy Holiday Creating, April
That is a REALLY hard question!!! I love ‘O Holy Night’. It’s puts me in the right mood for Christmas, but I really enjoy almost all Christmas music. Thanks for these goodies!
My favorite holiday song has always been Silver Bells. Just conjures up pictures of a snowy white Christmas! I grew up in snow country, but don’t see it anymore, so it’s nice to have the memories.
O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. My second favorite is Mary Did You Know? ….
both so moving and lovely to listen to or to sing.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
i think my favorite christmas song (i can’t believe that i’m picking just one!!!) is Carol of the Bells… it’s a tough tune, especially with the lyrics, but i don’t think i’ve ever heard a version that i didn’t love.
I love “Here Comes Santa Claus”….so upbeat and happy!
Aww, my favorite holiday song is “Jingle Bell Rock” – I can remember it being one of the first holiday songs my sister taught me to play on the piano as a kid, and I’ve loved it ever since. Awesome giveaway!
My favorite holiday song is “Dona Nobis Pacem” … and why? When I hear the song it reminds me of my school years & the nuns teaching us that song. For some reason it stuck with me and along with Ave Maria, I think those are the two most beautiful & amazing songs ever. Happy Holidays!
Right now I am really like Bruce Springsten’s version of Santa Claus is coming to town for a good get up and dance song :) I love What Child is this and so many more!!
Ditto The Little Drummer Boy. For some reason that one just grabs me and makes me listen to it.
O Holy Night. Just a classic that I have loved since childhood. It was the first song a sang solo at my church Christmas program.
My fave holiday song is “Santa Baby”. It’s my favorite simply because I like to sing it…in the car…loudly.
My favourite song is the New Zealand Carol: Te Haranui, there is nothing like singing a Christmas song in your local language.
My favorite holiday song is “Christmas Shoes” because it always reminds me of what Christmas is all about, giving and helping others. It also reminds me to hold my family tight and never take them for granted. Happy Holidays to everyone!
We Three Kings, I just love it!
my favs change from year to year.. one constant is V.Guaraldi – Charlie Brown Christmas… this year i’m enjoying Michael McDonald’s PEACE… i highly recommend everyone to take a listen… bring tissues :-)
My favorite Christmas song is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. I think it perfectly captures the warmth, longing, and sometimes bittersweet nature of the holidays–as I get older, the line, “Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow…” rings true with me, and it is kind of comforting to have those emotions acknowledged at holiday time.
Favorite holiday song is Johnny Mathis “Sleigh Ride”. Remember it as a kid and thinking it was so happy and marked the beginning of the season! :)
My favorit Christmas song is O Holy Night. For some reason i tear up everytime i hear that song. My second is Mary Did you Know similar response.
Regards, Lisa
My favorite Christmas song is “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presly because it is so over the top. No one could do the song like Elvis. It is supposed to be a heart-broken tale of unrequited love during the holidays, but I can’t help but smile when I hear Elvis sing I’ll-ll ha-ha-have a a blue Christmas without you…”
My fave song is silent night!
It is hard to pick one favorite Christmas song.But I would say O Holy Night and Little Drummer Boy.Another favorite is Oh Come, Ring Those Bells.Any song that tells the story of Jesus and His Birth are favorites.I like the Santa songs also.They bring the jolly into the Christmas time.Wishing all a Merry Christmas.
My favorite holiday song is “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” because it reminds me of my dad. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!!
The Christmas song by “Alvin and The Chipmunks”. It makes me smile, I love their voices and I love how Alvin gets distracted..sorta like I do. BTW, All he wants is a “Hoola Hoop”.
I love O Holy Night. My favorite version is sung by Martina McBride. It is so beautiful it gives me chills! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!
I’ve always loved “O Holy Night” as a traditional song. Yesterday I heard the most beautiful song called “Where’s the line to see Jesus?” The video is also awesome. You can google it, and see it on You Tube. The girl has an amazing voice.
White Christmas, definitely gets me in the holiday spirit! Thank you!
What is your favorite holiday song and why?
I love O come, O come, Emmanuel, I think mostly just because of the emotion it evokes. :)
I love just about all Christmas songs, but one of my faves is Hark the Herald Angels Sing. My brother Jim, misunderstood the words “with angelic hosts proclaim” to be “bread and jelly both proclaim” so that song always cracks me up. Thanks for the chance to win :D
I wish it could be Christmas everyday (by Wizzard)
I love the words. the tune, everything!
The Fruitcake song is my current one. I also enjoy Adam Sandler’s hannakah song.
Carol of The Bells is my favorite Christmas song. I just love how the parts move independently, yet are perfect together!
I love Little Drummer Boy. It is such a sweet song!
Silent Night. Growing up in a lutheran church, Christmas eve service always seems to end in everyone holding candles, lite by the ushers, and signing Silent Night. The kids then receive a brown bag full of fruits, nuts and candies :) Sweet memories!
My fav. traditional song is Silent Night. It is so beautiful !!!
My favorite song is “Last Christmas” by WHAM it reminds me of when I was a teen in the ´80.
Have A Holly Jolly Christmas, by Burl Ives is my favorite Christmas song.
Thanks!
I have so many it’s hard to choose. But the first that came to mind is ” Winter Wonderland”. It’s such a happy song.
Oh that’s easy, Jingle Bells, probably wasn’t before I had kids but it is post them. They love Jingle Bells, my youngest is particularly fond of the “Hey” bits.
i love many…. but ‘all i want for Christmas is you’ is one of my faves :)
My favorite song is Silent Night:) We sing it in English and in Russian and it brings me to tears no matter what language it’s in!
My favorite will always be “Silent Night”. Thanks for the giveaway.
Carol of the Bells for sure and Baby It’s Cold Outside. I really love nearly all of the traditional Christmas carols. My absolute favorite thing to do though is annoy my teenage daughter by making my own carols using everyday chores & things as the words to the traditional tunes :)
Wowee what a gorgeous bunch of prizes. My favourite holiday song is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll, why? because it’s untraditonally traditional and great to sing along too! thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite song is Bob Rivers’ 12 Pains of Christmas. Makes me laugh every time. :)
This Christmastide (Jessye’s Carol) written by Donald Fraser for Jessye Norman.
I first heard it when my father played it for me several years ago. It still brings back memories of a happier time: when my children were still small, I was in good health, and we lived where it was warm in Winter!
Santa Baby, no contest! It’s fun, cute, and light-hearted. Just what I need during the holiday stress.
My favorite is bing crosby’s “white Christmas” because of the movie adaptation of Kurt vonnegut’s novel “mother night”.
my favorite Christmas song changes every year, but right now it is Deck The Rooftop from last year’s Glee album. That song gets me moving and I can’t not sing along. I play it 5 or 6 times in a row every time!
“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” – It embodies everything I feel and always makes me smile.
My favorite is Bing Crosby I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas :)
My favorite Christmas song is Nat King Cole’s version of The Christmas Song. We had the album when I was growing up and remember all the happy Christmas moments from my childhood when I hear it. Thanks for sharing!
NOEL is my favorite holiday song at the moment! Thank you for a chance to win!
my all time favorite is ‘O holy night’. I don’t know why, It’s just beautiful.
‘Baby, it’s cold outside’ is second. If my hubby and I had a song, that would be it.
My favorite is We wish you a Merry Christmas.. especially when my 4 year old is singing it!
I’d love to be a winner in this one.
I Enjoy all the Happy Zombie posts.
hugs
Gerry
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas :) – don’t know why but I just love it.
Jingle Bell is one of my favorite songs at Christmas. I taught Preschool for 29 years and always loved to hear the kids sing this and see their excitement over the Holiday season.
Favorite song is Winter Wonderland because my kids walk around singing it for the entire month of December and I LOVE listening to their happy tune of Christmas songs.
Dorraine
Tucson,AZ
Any Christmas song sung by Dean Martin is a favorite in my book!
My favorite holiday song is “Baby It’s Cold Outside” It pretty much sums up how I feel about the winter!
LOVE MONICA’S COLLECTION OF FABRIC!
THANKS SO FOR SHARING!
Wow, what a fantastic giveaway!!! I love Winter Wonderland. Happy Holidays!
I came to see the Happy Zombie… and I see it was well worth the *click!*
My favorite holiday song is Winter Wonderland… reminds me of visiting my husband’s home state, Wisconsin, for the very first time, and being proposed to on Christmas Eve! The song brings back the magic of that night and all the lovely 8,738 days since!
My favorite song is O’ Holy Night. It just puts me in the Christmas spirit and makes me feel Happy. What a super wonderful giveaway! Thanks for a chance to win.
missmoozie/at/gmail/dot/com
.My favorite Christmas song is Shingle Bells because it reminds me of my childhood.
Shingle Bells?
Oops, I meant “Jingle” Bells.
Right now it’s Santa Baby…my kids (boy 5, girl 5, and boy 7) have always loved this song (the Ertha Kitt (sp?) version, of course)…but this year my soon-to-be-8 yr old figured out that it’s not about a real baby, it’s (in his what I can only describe as “hubba-hubba” voice) Santa *BABY*!
BTW, said 7 year old thought the name “Happy Zombie” was hilarious.
My all time favorite song ever is Oh Holy Night. It is all about the meaning of Christmas.
My favorite holiday song is … “Silent Night.” There are a lot of holiday songs that play over and over at work and grate on my nerves (I’m looking at you, Jingle Bell Rock), but this one never does. It’s beautiful and simple and always comforting to hear.
My favorite Christmas song is Mary Did You Know, it is just the sweetest song and always makes me a little teary!
“White Christmas” sung by Bing Crosby because every year at Christmas my mom, sister and I watch the movie White Christmas while making Christmas cookies or gifts. We can watch it over and over again all weekend and it never gets old. So whenever I hear it on the radio this time of year, it always leaves me feeling festive and excited spend quality time with the most important women in my life.
The Christians and the Pagans – Dar Williams
Makes me think of home with being so far away from home. Missing our families and knowing that I am separated from my husband for the holidays due to him being deployed. Makes me appreciate the little things more. The time we have with each other and the families more than before. Simply because we don’t know what year we will all be apart. Much love to everyone from us Germany and missing everyone in CA!
My favourite holiday song is “Carol of the Bells” I don’t really care who sings it or if it is instumental. I love singing it myself and having it played on actuall bells. I just love everything about it! Though I always hear the Jonny Mathis version.
Thank you for the givaway!
The first Holiday song that springs to mind is “I’ll be home for Christmas” because no matter who sings it, the feeling is the same…home, hearth, warm family traditions and love. That longing for the home that we remember and a promise to try to keep that spirit in ourselves even as we grow and start our own traditions. I’m such a boob, I get all teary-eyed just thinking about it. Yay for the Holiday Season!
Snoopy’s christmas – I could never get enough of that song but my dear husbands dislikes it. so it is a good one to have on hand to wind him up x x
I think todays guests all rock
My favorite holiday song is probably a tie between White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby in that deep romantic slathered voice and Rocking Around the Chrismas Tree which never fails to make me want to jump up and dance!!
Silver Bells. It is just so perfect, timeless, and wonderful. Everything I want from the holidays. These are fab giveaways, thanks for this contest!!
Silent Night, Holy Night is my favorite.
My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. Why? Because it always gives me goosebumps, makes me remember the season, puts things into a fresh and evergreen scented perspective.
Hmmm…there are so many that I like! But right now I would have to say Bobby Darin – Christmas Auld Lang Syne!
My favorite holiday song is Silver Bells and has been since I was very young. I have always loved seeing little towns with main street all decked out. Even as a child, that song would bring that picture to mind, so that is why I love it.
Right now my favorite Christmas song is “the Little Drummer Boy” simply because my lovely daughter learned the whole piece on the piano in under a week just to show her wonderful teacher that she could! I love your blog and these giveaways are amazing!
Fav Holiday song…..WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! I really do dream of waking up to snow….it’s rare in here in western Washington on Christmas morning. I think snow makes Christimas more Christmassy…and I love the oldies!!
I have a lot of favorites! How about “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway? Love it. :)
My favourite holiday song is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas…. I don’t really know why exactly, just because I think it’s beautiful and it always gets me in the Christmas mood.
The Little Drummer Boy… it brings back wonderful childhood memories!
I LOVE Silent Night!!! Eventhough I like Feliz Navidad from Jose Feliciano because it remind me about Puerto Rico where I grew up and live all my life until I moved to the USA 16years ago.. I really miss Christmas in PR…
Best regards,
Wanda
I love all the holiday songs! A favorite is Silent Night Holy Night
My favorite holiday song is White Christmas (though the Chipmunks are a close second). Growing up in Oregon, there were very few white Christmases, but the song takes me back to watching the movie on Christmas eve at my Aunt’s house. Black and white TV, cousins around, drinking cocoa; adults drinking their cocoa with something stronger, playing cards behind us. Simpler times. . .good memories.
It’s technically not a Christmas song, but it is played a lot during the season – I like the traditional version of “Ave Maria”. It is such a beautiful song, and honors our Blessed Mother.
I love Christmas music….Jingle Bell Rock and the Snoopy song are 2 of my favs, When you hear the Snoopy song here, you know Christmas isn’t far away.
I have so many fav’s I can’t choose just one. I like Angels we have heard on high, grandma got ran over by a reindeer, frosty the snow man and you can’t forget all i want for chirstmas is my 2 front teeth!! What i can tell you is my least favorite would be the version of Santa Baby sung by Madonna. worst song ever!!
Oh, that’s a tough question. I love so many! But, I would have to say – “Silent Night.” It reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas. :)
Right this minute it is Jingle Bells sung out of tune and quite loudly by my 2 and 4 year old grand daughters! The kids enjoy the song and the season and know that they are celebrating Jesus’ birth and that makes me happy.
Oh hands down my favorite holiday song is “Gloria in excelsis Deo”. I sang in the church choir when I was in school and I just loved singing this song every year!! It is just so beautiful!
My favorite Christmas son is The Little Drummer Boy because it relays the meaning of Christmas in such a humble way.
My favorite is The Little Drummer Boy. It is sweet, gentle & always brings out the spirit of Christmas in me. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have to say O’ Holy Night and Silent Night. They always bring tears to my eyes during a candle light service on Christmas Eve.
My Favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night” – I’ve never been into the “popular, cutesy” songs. This song gets me every time!
“We Three Kings” – I sang this song as a little girl in our church play. When I hear it on the radio, I feel like a kid again! :)
I love Hard Candy Christmas, just love Dolly :)
Do You Hear What I Hear is my favorite holiday song. My class sang it for the Christmas Program when I was in grade school.
How exciting! Among my favorite Christmas Carols, I’d say Silent Night is my favorite. It makes me think of the holidays, at night when everyone is curled up under their warm covers – everything is calm and quiet and the stars are out… Thanks for the great opportunity to share with everyone on these blogs everyday. ☆¨(✿◠‿◠)❀♫❤ ☼ ☯ ~Hobby
I have to admit that I still love all those songs sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks. I can still remember the excitement I felt at knowing my parents bought that record for ME, and all those songs were for ME to sing along to. One of my favorites on that record is Here Comes Santa Claus because Alvin just has to make it his own, and he does so. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! :)
“All I want for Chistmas is You” by Vivian Vance and the (something or others). Homegirl can sing!!
“Bring him home Santa” by The Song Trust is definetly my favorite Christmas song. It’s sad but anyone with a deployed spouse or military family member will understand why this song touches so many of our hearts. If only we could bring every childs dad home for Christmas.
My favorite holiday song is O Holy Night because it was the song that was playing when my grandmother passed. She loved this song so very much.
I love love love “Jingle Bell Rock.” It isn’t your typical holiday song and gives me a little pep in my step :)
I love Dean Martin’s “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. It puts me in the Christmas mood with the cooler weather and ya can’t beat his sexy voice either. LOL :)
My very favorite holiday song is “Jingle Bell Rock” sung by Brenda Lee. The way her voice scratches at certain parts is so so wonderful. This version makes me happy and uplifted.
I have been listening to Christmas music all day at work and I have to say I just love the song Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song) it is from Marys perspective and its a very beautiful song. It just touches me in such a special every time I hear it. Can you imagine what Mary was thinking and the faith that Joseph and her both had to have. It is an incredible song that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.
I love Christmas music but Let There be Peace on Earth is ONE of my favorites! Thanks for a chance at winning
Today I will pick “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” I can’t give you a reason, it is the first one that came to mind today.
My favorite Christmas song is Ray Charles’, “That Spirit of Christmas”. I am very sentimental and Christmas is a time that the world sets aside to celebrate the birth of our Jesus and spend wonderful time together with our families. I haven’t had a perfect life but my family has always carried on our traditions and I’ve been so blessed to be able to do the same with my children. Merry Christmas to all!!
Thank you!!
Oh, don’t you just love that. I listen to that song even during the summer I love it so much.
Happy Holidays,

My favorite, albeit non-traditional, song is Dave Matthews “Christmas Song” It makes me cry every time!
Oooh, another song I have not heard. Yeah, I just love finding new music. I have started a list now. Happy Holidays,

I love O Come, O Come Emmanuel, it’s the perfect Advent song and the use of descending minor harmonics is gorgeous. It can be happy or sad depending on how it’s performed, lovely.
Favorite holiday song – “In the Bleak Midwinter” It’s so quiet, peaceful, reflective and hopeful; the music together with the words help me take a needed deep breath and be calm, even for just a few minutes.
My favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night”. It is just so awe inspiring!
My favorite Christmas song is Jingle bells because it is a classic Christmas song and it is my 6 year olds favorite song that she loves to sing!!! :) So it has become a tradition to sing this song with family at Christmas time!!! :)
My favourite has got to be ‘Away in a Manger’. During the kids’ carol service at school, they sing the first verse so confidently but by the third verse, their voices have started to fade and the parents have to sing it for them. It always makes me smile, it’s almost like they’re letting us join in.
I really like O Holy Night. Thanks for the fun!
“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” Christmas is for children and the magic of the season…if we could see thru a child’s eyes.
I like Mariah Carey’s All I want for Christmas is You. I love spending the Holidays with people I love and this song helps get me in that spirit. (But not the Bieber version….sorry Bieber fans)
I have always loved Silent Night. I think it reflects the humbleness of Christmas.
I adore the song “O Holy Night”. Something so magical about it… I get goosebumps!
Walking in the air by the Snowman……… He’s real you know!
No doubt.

This is my favourite christmas song. As a student I sang in our school’s choir and love it ever since… It is called “Maria durch ein’ Dornwald ging”.
Well, now I’m going to have to look that song up. Sounds like something I need in my holiday collection. Happy Holidays.

To pick just one is difficult. Can I pick two? I love White Christmas, because this song reminds me of the wonderful feeling you get when it snows at Christmas time. Even though it doesn’t usally snow at Christmas time where I live. My second is Rockin’ Around The Christmas tree because we have had some of the best imprumptu dance sessions at our home when this song comes on.
Love it. I have a dancing Santa that I sit on top of buffet at work with the wassail and popcorn that sings that song. It plays until someon secretly has the nerve to get passed me and turn it off. Happy Holidays.

My favourite song is “petit papa Noel” ,in France, all kids know it and it’s cute to see their eyes shine when they sing !
My favorite holiday song is “O Holy Night” because it expresses the true meaning of Christmas to me and it moves me to tears almost every time I hear it. The tears are not sadness but joy! I thank you for the opportunity to enter this wonderful contest!
Of course Elvis’s Blue Christmas, weirdly cuz I have a picture of my daddy when he was 17 and he Totaly rocked the Elvis hair-doo! Some day that photo will be a tattoo on my left bicep, near and dear to my heart!
I love Jingle Bells-it always makes me think of the trips to my grandparents house on Christmas Eve. So much happiness!
I’ve got to say my favorite is “All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth.” After seeing the first-graders at Bethel Elementary here in the High Country of North Carolina perform the song last night, I fell in love all over again. Hope I get lucky!!
Oh Come All Yea Faithful
Baby It’s Cold Outside…the oldest version I can find…is my favorite holiday song. I love the beat and the naughtiness of it.
My favorite holiday song is Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano , we would always gather at my grandparents house for Christmas and this song was always playing. I’ve now this song my entire life and every time I hear this song at Christmas It takes me back to my childhood, I could smell the tamales, the smell of the X-mas tree ,dancing and singing this song with my cousins. I’m 35 and to see the little ones singing and dancing to this song and enjoying the song as much as I do is priceless.
My favorite Christmas song is ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas’. I have a daughter in the military and it is always so nice to have her be home for the Holidays.
My absolute fave is Carol of the Bells.
Simply Having a wonderful Christmas time by Paul Macartney
I love Christmas music, especially when they start playing it on the radio after U.S. Thanksgiving, this song though is so up beat fun and it gets my kids in the Christmas mood.
I’ve always liked the little drummer boy because of the percussion.
I love Danish Christmas carols…my mother-in-law’s family is Danish and we dance around the Christmas tree and sing on Christmas Eve.
Winter Song. I am posting a link so you can see why. It’s beautiful.

Rudolph the red nose Reindeer…….reminds me of when I was a Kid laying on the couch watching movies and drinking hot chocolate and there wasnt a care in the world. Just watching Christmas movies all day
I love the song, Baby It’s Cold Outside, the Lady A version…..I just picture me and my hubby dancing in the dark livingroom after putting the kids to bed, swaying in each others arms after a long cold day! Perfection!
The Little Drummer Boy. Its sort of strange because I never liked it when I was younger. Every time I hear it now I have to try not to cry!!! Love, love, love it!!! Thank you for the chance to win these great gifts!
Love love love John Lennon’s Happy Christmas! Great giveaway!
My favorite holiday son is “I Had A Little Dreidel”.
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas has always been one of my favorites…funny since I live in CA, where its rarely snowing…
My favorite “holiday” song is the Benjamin Britten Ceremony of Carols. Why? They are a blast to perform and almost as much to listen to. :)
My favorite song is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I remember singing this song when I was little in school…and even now when I hear the traditional version I always add the kiddie inserts to it. It’s fun to teach that to my boys :).
That’s easy! My favorite holiday song is “Baby It’s Cold Outside” performed by Tom Jones and Grace Slick.. Why? Well, it’s a little naughty (as in naughty & nice) , and, as I said, performed by Tom Jones, need I say more?!!!!!

White Christmas why because up until I got married I lived in Florida or southern California so I never had a white Christmas. and I also love the Bing Crosby movie.
I’ll be home for Christmas has special meaning for me. It was my mom’s favorite song. After she passed away, I would catch myself singing it at random times throughout the year. Now I just go with it and smile.
The always classic – Randolph the Red – Nosed Reindeer always brings smile to my face.
No question, “Whitw Christmas” by Bing Crosby. I have fond memories of watching that and decorating the Christmas tree. To this day it’s a tradition, that movie must be playing while we decorate the tree.
“O Holy Night” is my favorite religious Christmas song. it’s so beautiful, and it just gives me goosebumps whenever i hear it. non-religious would be “baby it’s cold outside.” it’s just so fun and cute!
My favorite Christmas song is River sung by James Taylor. I like it because it is mellow and I can listen to it all year long without people saying, “Why are you listening to a Christmas song now?” I also like Drummer Boy sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.
I like Carol of the Bells and Silent Night!
My fave holiday song is The Christmas Song, as sung by Nat King Cole. The words are so famliy oriented, and Nat’s voice is smooth and dreamy :)
I have always loved “White Christmas.” My Dad had it on record and every year while we were decorating our little house, he would put it on the turn table and we would all sing along. The funny part was my Mom didn’t really like the song but since it was my favorite she would grin and grit through it, it also seemed her egg nog would go down a bit fast too lol. I still listen to this song and it brings back those fun memories.
Well, I have to admit my favorite is “Do They Know it’s Christmas”. Not a traditional Christmas song per se, but as an 80s girl it couldn’t get any better. :)
I love the Little Drummer Boy! It makes me cry just thinking of a time when this happened it makes a lot of things seem so trivial.
My favorite holiday song is Bing Crosby’s version of White Christmas. Love the classics!
There are SO many wonderful Christmas songs! If it’sjust my personal – me only – enjoyment it’s gotta be “White Christmas”…I adore the movie (“Holiday Inn”), don’t you? I guess runnerup would be my granddaughter’s newest “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Rectangle”!! She’s in kindergarten and the letter R and the shape rectangle is being featured this week! What a hoot!
Keeping Christ in Christmas,

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving — NO GIFT GIVING and just simply a time to be with loved ones and thank the Lord for all that he has given to us…AND sharing good food at the same time – who could ask for better?
Silent Night…hard to sing, but easy to hum! :) I’ve been doing so for my boys since they were 4 mos. old in Dec. 98!
“The Christmas Song” is my favorite. It doesn’t matter who sings it, it just puts me in a holiday mood… chestnuts roasting by an open fire… :-)
Wow! How wonderful is this! All beautiful and creative. Thanks for sharing!
“Hark the Herald Angels sing”- I love the lines “God and sinners reconciled” and “born that man no more may die”- The true meaning of Christmas!
O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. It literally gives me chills when I hear the words to the song. It brings me peace.
Merry Christmas!
Lori
I just said the SAME thing, before I even read your comment.
My favorite Christmas song is “Christmas Shoes.” it’s about a little boy who wants to buy some nice shoes for his momma so she looks nice when she goes to see Jesus. You see, she’s in a hospital and dying soon. The boy doesn’t have enough money and a stranger in line behind him helps him buy the shoes after hearing the story. I love this song because during the holidays most people forget what Christmas is all about, they get greedy materialistic. This song reminds me of the meaning of Christmas and it gets to me every time I hear it.
My favorite holiday song is….It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The song that always gets me in the mood is “Dominic the Donkey!” Nothing funnier than my four kids ee-awing along with that one!
Love the giveaway and this site!
Oh Holy Night….It just gives me shivers every time I hear it. I wish I had a voice that could do it justice…………….
I LOVE any of the classic Christmas songs like White Christmas or Jingle Bell Rock sung by the original artists. I also love that one by Mannheim Steamroller, not sure of the name of the song but I love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Christmas song is, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”. I don’t know why, but the song just makes me so full of laughter and fun!! It perks me up when I’m a little low and always makes me feel like a kid.
Hope this Christmas brings you warmth and peace. May you listen to YOUR song over and over in your head.
Merry Christmas!!
I love Silent Night — just beautiful. Thanks for the give away.
Oops, can I add one more song? I absolutely love Transiberian Orchrstra’s song, “Midnight in Sarievo”. If you haven’t heard of them, look ‘em up, they are fantastic!
oooohhh! i can’t pick one!! i love o holy night… but i also love good christian men rejoice…and i love sooo many others!
My favorite carol is The Little Drummer Boy. It was my grandmother’s favorite and I have such fond memories of her singing that song along with the radio. Thank you for the generous giveaway and the chance to win.
My favorite Christmas song is Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella. It is rarely sung, but I love it. Kathie L in Allentown
White Christmas. It’s just a beautiful song and always gets me in the Christmas mood.
It’s actually ironic that I came across this question today in a giveaway. Just to explain why “Silent Night” is my favorite song….I’ll have to provide some details.
Today has been an extremely rough day; I am doing everything I can to occupy my mind. My Grandmother whom raised me as a baby is expecting to pass away soon. She played the role as my mother and father and we have always had a very close bond. When I got the call I was driving to pick up my daughter from school. I began reminiscing about the times my grandmother and I would decorate for Christmas, all the goodies we would make and how she would always cuddle me and sing “Silent Night”. I believe she even sang it during other months. I always loved the tone of her voice as she sang this song, more than any other song. I can still hear her voice singing “Silent Night” in my head. I now sing the song at night to my daughters and maybe one day they will do the same to their children.
For those of you who believe in prayer, I would greatly appreciate it if you could say a prayer for my family and I. I am praying that when she does go home to be with the Lord, that I will find the strength to carry on and to keep her spirit alive. I want my girls who are currently 3 and 5 to remember the amazing woman who raised their mother and why the song “Silent Night” is so special to me.
My favorite Christmas song is The Island of Misfit Toys from the film Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I still love that movie!
I LOVE Holiday music and my favorite song is Merry Christmas Baby…especially the rendition sung by the Boss himself. =)
I’ll have to pick “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” It reminds me of Christmas eves from my childhood when we’d go to midnight mass with my grandparents.
I love the Christmas song by the Waitresses because it is so catchy and upbeat!
I love Silent Night. It is just such a wonderful representation of the Holidays for me, sort of put you in a right mood.

No matter how old I get, or how many kids I have. A piece of my heart is always at “home”.
I’ve been singing Jingle Bells a lot because it makes my teething 6 month old giggle.
Favorite song is a parody of dynamite by the Maccabeats. It’s a catchy hanukkah song my kids love to sing and dance to.

Fav Holiday Song … Oh, Holy Night … because my brother who is mighty good on a trumpet would play this song at Christmas concerts as a soloist and it was so powerful the way that trumpet sound filled a church or a hall. The song gives me goosebumps to this day.
We Need a Little Christmas…it’s so upbeat and fun!! My family and I dance all around the kitchen when we hear it!! Oh my goodness…what wonderful gifts!!
It has to be “Oh Holy Night” because I can remember my dad singing it at the top of his lungs when I was a child. He’s gone now but I can still hear him every Christmas when I hear that song on the radio.
Oh hands down it has to be….Baby it’s cold outside! My daughter and I blast it and sign at the top of our lungs. Happy Holidays and thanks for the chance at winning these amazing gifts.
Generally it’s whatever song is playing at the moment! lol I love them all!
I especially love Silent Night, though, and The Christmas Song. These two just seem to embody the holiday season so well and make me extra excited about the upcoming celebrations.
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer – it’s a good sing-a-long song for our family.
I have 2 actually. “I saw grandma kissing Santa Claus” by John Mellenkamp; and “Santa Clause is Comin to Town” by Bruce Springsteen!!!
White Christmas is my favorite Christmas song, and I’ll tell ya why… Danny Kaye. Danny Kaye all day, every day and twice on Sunday. That is all.
Cheers!
My fave holiday song is Run,Run,Rudolph by Bryan Adams. Totalllllly takes me back to my youth. Actually any of the tackier 80′s holiday tunes would do. Makes me want to dance while I decorate the tree.
Silent Night. I’ve loved it since I was a kid and it just always represents Christmas for me.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in Ali’s 2012 class!

O Holy Night
especially when Josh Groban sings it!
chills all over my body!
thanks for the chance!
Okay I know you said one! Santa Baby by Eartha Kitts, Merry Christmas Baby by BB King and All I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey. BUT I attended a christian private school and every year we performed a Christmas pagent SO all the traditional songs are my favorites like Silent Night, Little town of Bethleham etc.
I think that my favorite holiday song is one that my boyfriend sang in chorus in grade school and he taught to me, 30 years later. I don’t know the name of it, but the chorus is, “Santa Claus, Santa Claus, you are much too fat. I was sleeping peacefully and now my bed is flat. Oh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, how much do you weigh? I’m glad I’m not a reindeer that has to pull your sleigh!” The verses are hilarious! He started singing in one time and I caught on to it, now we sing it whenever one of us needs to laugh.
My favorite holiday song is Winter Wonderland. It’s so romantic and classic. Great meeting all you ladies!
My favorite holiday song is Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song (chestnuts roasting…) because it reminds me of all of my childhood Christmases! xo
Silent Night is my favorite holiday song. I like when we sing it by candlelight.
My favourite holiday song is a tie between “Winter Wonderland” by Doris Day and “Only You” by the flying pickets – they make me think of crisp white snow and cosy fires and time to stop and enjoy the season (I’m not sure why they do, but they do)
Thank you for such an amazing giveaway!
It’s hard to choose, but I like “The Christmas Song” because it reminds me of buying roasted chestnuts when we lived in China.
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree! I can’t help but dancing and singing everytime I hear it! It puts a smile on my face.
My favourite has to be Jingle Bells. It reminds me of my childhood and I think it makes adults and kids smile and feel Christmasy.
Abbe
My favorite Christmas song has to be “Silent Night”. It shares the meaning and reason behind the season: Christmas!
Thanks for the giveaway chance.

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas – because it is classic and always brings a smile to my face!!1
Gene Autry’s “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”. We still have the album! This song brings back memories of my mother. In December, Mom had Christmas music playing when we got home from school, we baked cookies (little wreaths with cinnamon red-hots), made fudge and caramels, decorated…….all the usual stuff. Miss her every day, but especially in December.
Thanks so much for highlighting these creative women! I so enjoyed reading about them. My favorite holiday song is “Mary, Did You Know?” Have a great weekend!
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”……love the anticipation and excitement it invokes!
My favorite is “oh holy night” because I have great memories of singing it as solo in my choir as a child.
Do you hear what I hear…. I sing it everytime.
I don’t know know the real name of the song, but since having a child and watching a Charlie Brown Christmas we call it the Snoopy song, and just like when my daughter was 2 we get up and dance like crazy!!! What a wonderful memory!!
I’m all over this giveaway! Gorgeous things from talented ladies! My favorite holiday song would have to be Carol fo the Bells, I just love the way it sounds sung by a choir:>)
**let it snow**
because…i love winter evenings when the snow is lightly falling and the christmas lights are all lit up:)
I’m not hugely into carols, but when I was a kid my big brother and I used to love singing all 12 verses of “12 says of Christmas” to our exasperated parents & grandparents. Being Australian, I’m also partial to the Aussie version of this carol:
“On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me, an emu up a gum tree…”
Great giveaways, thanks for the chance to win! My favorite song is White Christmas because it reminds me of my mom and Grandma and growing up listening tout play on the record player.
I love love love Christmas songs! But put on Boney M’s Feliz Navidad and everything stops and I put on my boogying shoes and sing my heart out! Christmas isn’t Christmas without Boney M.
I love so many but I think Silent Night has to be my favorite. Such a Holy Night with the birth of our Savior. I just picture that special night whenever I hear or sing the song! And makes me remember the real reason for the season! Merry Christmas!
Carol of the Bells always gives me that Christmas feeling. It’s spiritual and melodic.
Little Drummer Boy, with all of the rum pum pum pums, rum pumpum pums, rum pum pum pums…..
My favorite holiday song is “I Believe In You” performed by Sinéad O’Connor from the “A Very Special Christmas 2″ collection. I love it because it reflects the spiritual nature of the Christmas holiday and it is a song that I don’t hear continuously so it is always special when I listen to it over the holiday season.
Wow what an amazing giveaway! I love White Christmas because it’s a beautiful song and all the memories of watching the movie during Christmas every year. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
There are so many great ones. How do you choose just one but I would have to say Silent Night is my favorite Christmas carol. It has such a wonderful message and represents all that Christmas is!
My favorite all-time holiday song is White Christmas by Bing Crosby. But there are so many choices; I love them all. What an incredible giveaway.
My favourite Christmas song is For Unto us a child is born, because for me, this sums up the real meaning of Christmas.
Silent Night Holy Night because it is translated into so many languages. I used to sing it in Hungarian as a little girl.
I love the sad and lonely Christmas songs, like Coventry Carol, Blue Christmas, Please Come home For Christmas – but my fave is River.
Good News by Kathy Matea. It’s one of the last Christmas albums my mother bought before she died and it’s her I think of when I listen each holiday season.
Love most all Christmas carol’s, but one of my favorites is “Mary Did You Know”….beautiful song!!!
White Christmas. I used to watch the old movie every year when I was little.
The Coventry Carol! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy1l1PAvXCA)
It’s so different from other carols in that it’s actually pretty sad, but it’s so beautiful. I could listen to it for hours.
I like The Little Drummer Boy, it reminds me to always be humble.
Those fabric make me happy :) Love all Cmas songs ……… Joy to the World is best
Carols of the Bells. I love how epic it sounds. It’s a powerful Christmas song and so very joyous.
In English I love the song O Holy Night. There’s just something awe inspiring about hearing it in a big church during the candlelight service on Christmas Eve. My all time favorite is En Stjerne Skinner i Nat. It’s a Scandinavian carol, originally Swedish I believe. Beautiful.
Fantastic giveaway!! My favorite Christmas song is Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire because it reminds me of Christmases spent at my grandparents as a child and as an adult.
It’s silly but I love “I want an Alien For Christmas” by Fountains of Wayne. I found it for my kids years ago and it still cracks me up to have my whole family dancing and singing to such a fun song.
My favorite is The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), as sung by Nat King Cole. It brings back to me the absolute best and warmest childhood memories with family during the holidays.
Silent Night because it is about the birth of our savior Jesus Christ.
I have many favorite holiday songs but Silver Bells is on the top of the list. As a little girl we would drive from Colorado to North Dakota to grandpa and grandma’s every year for christmas…that song would play often on the the static filled AM radio station that we would randomly tune in to as we would drive for hours. When we’d get to the little towns in North Dakota, that song was magic coming alive to me because in the big city you didn’t see ‘Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear” , there were ‘strings of steet lights, even stop lights blink a bright red and green” and the town just swinging in tinsel and outdoor christmas music and friendly townsfolk bustling down the crunchy snowy sidewalks, greeting everyone! It just seemed magical to a wide eyed city girl and I think of it every time I hear the song Silver Bells because it describes so much of that childhood memory in the song. I could have just cried when our teeanage daughter sang it as a solo last year at the school choir concert…beautiful!
thanks for a chance at a great give-away!
My favorite Christmas song is John McCutcheon’s “Christmas in the Trenches” about a moment of peace in World War I when soldiers from both armies laid down their weapons to sing Silent Night and play soccer. It is a true story and the music is beautiful!
Hark the Herald Angels Sing…….have always loved singing it!
I love Chris Rea’s Driving Home for Christmas – it sums up all those people in queues of traffic, all desperate to get home to their loved ones.
So many favorite Christmas songs- I’ll go for “Oh, Holy Night” because I can’t sing it. Not that I can sing anything.
My favourite holiday song right now is Christmas Shoes. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it and I couldn’t listen to it without crying while I was pregnant with my daughter. To me it just sums up the true spirit of giving and love. Thanks for the giveaways.
I Love The Pogues “Fairytale In New York” – not a real Christmas song but just love the vocals and the soaring chorus and it is seldom “re-hashed” by all and sundry. My most ever favourite carol is “O Holy Night” – again amazing soaring music
Wonderful, wonderful giveaway! I took Ali’s class in 2011. It was great! Thank you for the chance to win!
My favorite holiday song is wham’s last Christmas. Why? Because I’m corny.

Oh Holy Night! Because it is my Mom’s favorite
I’ll be Home for Christmas is my favorite song. Just makes me think of my family getting together. Fan4may at aol dot com
My favorite Christmas song is “Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella”. Why? I have no idea! I just really like the way it sounds and it’s so easy to hum along with.
Thank you for the great giveaways! :)
“I heard the bells on Christmas morn” because of the rich American history and the faith a father and husband can have in such a season.
Well from the Amy Grant, A Christmas album, Emmanual has long been my favorite but my new alblum, The Lower Lights, has the most beautiful In the Bleak of Winter and Oh Come all ye Faithful. I love Christmas music!
My Favorite Christmas song is Last Christmas by WHAM!!! I have loved that song from the first moment I heard it. It was a long time ago when music was helping build the person I am today! Music and Creativity go so well together, don’t you agree? This is also a song you can listen to year round!! LOVE IT ~
o holy night… just settles my spirit every time i hear/sing it. so much depth and truth and beauty in that one little song.
Santa Claus is back in Town by Elvis Presley, because I love Elvis!
Sleigh ride((Leroy Anderson) because it’s fun to play (I play clarinet in a community band).
So hard to pick just one! I love traditional carols and the new ones! Right now I would have to say my favorite song is “This is Christmas” by Kutless.
my faviote song is ” I saw momie kissin santa caus’ te reason is its one of a few songs for christmas that shows love in the family, and the kidds love it
Away in a Manger has always been my favorite Christmas song – it captures the meaning of the season.

Have yourself a merry little christmas by Frank Sinatra . . .always gets me in the festive spirit and White Christmas by Bing Crosby reminds of my childhood
Wow many great giveaways. Thanks! Love Ali.
Mary’s Boy Child by Harry Belafonte, this was played in our house when I was growing up and gives me wonderful memories of Christmas when I was a child.
I love to hear Carole of the Bells but my daughter is at that age where she is making up her own songs to known tunes so currently my favorite Christmas songs are ones she makes up or gets the words scrambled to.
Being Jewish, I don’t go for Chritmas Carols. However Santa Baby is very cute and innocently provocative!!! I’ve been singing it all week!
oh come oh come emmanuel is my favorite, it causes me to slow down and during such a busy time!
Silver Bells because it was my mother’s favorite song. I made her a wreath with silver colored ribbon, trims, bells, and she always hung it up after TG.
White Christmas is my favorite. We very seldom get a white Christmas here in Maryland but we did have one a few years ago and it is very pretty with all the lights in the snow!
My favorite Christmas song is the halleluja chorus (not sure if I spelled that correctly OR if that’s what it’s really called, but I’m sure everyone knows which song I’m talking about. I like it because it is so beautiful it brings tears.
My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night….. I love the lyrics and to sing along (even if I sound terrible..lol). Thanks for the wonderful giveaways!! Happy Holidays!
My favorite holiday song is White Christmas by Elvis Presley. No one can sing it quite like he did!
Little Drummer Boy–In high school I was in Pep Club and would lose my voice every
game. On the bus rides to and from the away games around Christmas time all my
friends would sing carols and would sing “Little Drummer Boy” for me.
Fun song “Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer.” Love all the giveaways. Great
sponsors! Thanks Ali for info on this one.
Silent Night. We sing it all year long. It’s our kids favorite bed time song.
My favorite holiday song has always been White Christmas. A real classis.
Wow, this is so fun! My favorite song is “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” because it’s so evocative and sentimental (and a little sad too!)
I love Ray Charles singing “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. Kind of a funky/jazzy mix for Xmas!
My favorite Christmas song is “grown up Christmas list”. It reminds me, that there is far more to Christmas than presents. It’s about doing our bit for those in need and about remembering that there is still war and poverty and what better time to send out a Christmas gift to those less fortunate than ourselves.
I really like “White Christmas” because it’s slow tempo reminds me of falling snow. I can see myself sitting at a window, watching the flurries fall when I hear that song. :)
Silent Night is my favorite song! It was my Grandma’s favorite too! When I hear it I always think of her!
My most favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night”….when Josh Groban sings it, it is amazing! Just brings me so much closer to Jesus and why we have Christmas.
My favorite song is Little Drummer Boy because it is so simple and sweet! thanks for a chance to win!
And, have a GREAT day!
kmassmanATgmailDOTcom
Santa Baby is one of my favs….no it doesn’t reflect the true meaning of Christmas, but it sure makes me smile and puts a little spring in my step! :)
My favorite Christmas song is The First Noel because I learned to play in on the piano. I’m not a good player and that was a huge accomplishment to learn that one song!!
My favourite carols are these ones: http://heathhill.blogspot.com/2005/12/australian-christmas-carols.html
I love the Carol of the Birds and Three Drovers but my all out favourite is Christmas Day (The North Wind). Very Australian, and the ones we played as children.
And I know this is totally wrong but I love The Pogues – Fairytale of New York – not sure why but I always think of this as a Christmas song.
My favorite is: Do You Hear What I Hear. I love the way it tells the story of how Christ’s birth was spread from person to person and always moving to more. It’s got such a great rhythm and tension that bullds. It’s a simple song that’s simply great!
Little Drummer Boy. Hands down winner. I love the message that EVERYONE has something to give. AND that gift is worthy.
These are all great give-aways. Thanks for the chance to win them.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire….it just sets the tone for a warm and cozy Christmas!
O Holy Night by Josh Groban–beautiful song AND voice!
I bought an album by “Straight, No Chaser” 2 years ago, and I could listen to the whole thing over and over again. “Mamacita (ooh wah ooh), donde esta Santa Claus? (oohj wah ooh)”
Dear Santa, I want me some Zombie. I’ve been as good as gold. Really.
I’m not sure why, but I have a special affection for New York City Christmas. It may be related to my childhood holiday memories of traveling to “the city” and perusing the windows at Lord & Taylor, Macy’s and Saks. Also, who could forget the “big” tree!
My favorite holiday song is Christmas Blue ( sung by the Tractors) Even though its a song about wanting someone for Christmas, the beat and melody with silent night is just the perfect mix and a great song. I wait all year just to crank it!
Love, love, LOVE Carol of the Bells. I have several versions of it on a playlist & play it while decorating. I just think it is so uplifting, etherial, and gorgeous.
This year my fave holiday song is Jingle Bells. My four year old loves the song and always wants we to watch his sweet dance moves when the song comes on.
Rockin around the christmas tree, by Brenda Lee!!! But there are so many
Silent Night ever since my brothers and I as children, learned it in German to sing at church.
Ring Those Christmas Bells by Peggy Lee definitely gets me in the Christmas Spirit!!!
Susan says:
My favorite holiday song is “O Holy Night”. I love the words and melody. It is a very majestic song of the birth of Jesus.
Fav Christmas song : Here we come a wassailing and here is the reason – it is the one song my girls sing at the top of their lungs with the windows of the car rolled down as we leave the church parking lot after Christmas eve service. We live in the cold north and it is totally inappropriate for the church parking lot which is part of the appeal. This has been happening every year since my oldest was about 8. She is now 27 and it is still happening… warms my heart.
There are so many christmas carols that I love to sing. But My favorite is Silent Night. I remember singing it as a little girl with my family at church and listening to my father’s deep voice. This song brings back so many wonderful christmas memories!
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas is my favourite song. I don’t know why. I grew up in Australia and have only ever had one white Christmas maybe that’s why. Who knows??
My favorite holiday song is definitely the 12 Days of Christmas – lots of family tradition associated with it for met
wow, more great things to win!
wow, more great prizes. Love Santa Baby and Baby, it’s cold outside….

I just love it!

Smiles, Cyndi
I love Good King Wenceslas which my Dad sings to us every Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Christmas song is: Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth by Bing Crosby and David Bowie. It is just a beautiful calming song. If I win the Happy Mochi Yum Yum Fat Eighths I will give them to my sister for Christmas! I love them as much as she does but she would be so shocked it would be worth it to see the look on her face. LOL
I love music, and I love Christmas. I can hardly be in a store with Christmas music playing. I have to sing along, and even dance. My favorite is Oh Holy Night. i will be singing it tomorrow night at our Church Christmas banquet. It’s a tradition!! My husband will accompany me on the guitar for the first time.
White Christmas. It reminds me of my grandmother since it was her favorite song. Thanks for chance to win.
“The Christmas Song” as sung by Nat King Cole is my favorite holiday song of all time. It brings back so many memories of my parents and all our wonderful holidays as kids growing up in Alaska — back before it was even a state! Thanks for such a fabulous giveaway.
I love White Christmas…..he makes me happy.
I think my favorite Christmas song is Silent Night. Mainly because it is sung in my limited vocal range! Thanks for the opportunity to win these fabulous prizes!

I love The Little Drummer Boy, every rendition of it. It was my mother’s favorite song and the only one I ever remember her singing along to. I miss her deeply :)
My favorite Christmas song is Away In A Manger. I learned it when I was a little kid and have always remembered and loved it.

So it actually feels and looks like Christmas!
my favorite holiday song is Jingle Bells just because of how my 4 year old sings it.
Several different songs for several reasons, but my all time favorites are Mary Did You Know? (the reason for the season) and Jingle Bells (I have an 8 yr old and she makes the season fun). Great giveaways – love, love Ali. Happy Holidays!
Joy to the World….it just makes me happy!
silent night.
I just love Born on Christmas Day. It is written by Brad Paisley (it’s on his Christmas album). He wrote it when he was a kid and on the album the song starts with him singing when he was 13 and transitions into him singing as an adult. At the end the two sing together. The words are amazing. Check it out if you have never heard it.
My favorite Xmas song is “Christmas Cookies” by George Strait. It’s a country song about a man who loves his sweetheart’s Christmas sugar cookies – it’s funny and sweet and reminds me of why baking cookies with my family is my favorite part of the holiday season.
My favorite Christmas song is Mary did you know. Its a different point of view of the meaning of Christmas. The first time heard it was when my Dad sang it in church. Beautiful song!
My favorite holiday song is Mariah Carey “All I want for Christmas is you!”. I love it because it makes me smile and dance and happy and sad and full of JOY for the holidays. Awesome giveaway. Thanks, Mary

My favorite is Silent Night. Such a beautiful song that I remember being sung at our church’s candlelight service.
Fabulous giveaway! So many favourite songs to choose from, but i think I’d have to agree with others who chose White Christmas.
I’d say my favourite Christmas song would have to be ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’. I remember singing it at school and now I sing it with my kids. There are a few different versions of it now and I like the traditional and also the Australian version of it.
I know that my favorite Christmas song is “Silent Night”. The reason is because my Grandma would always have my cousins and I to sing it every Christmas night at her farm house. Everytime I hear Silent Night I always think of those precious moments and her.
Joy to the World, and every time I sing it on Christmas Eve, I tear up as I can feel the joy of Christ’s birth overcome me!
My favorite song is All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. All my life I wanted to be a mom and this year my wish came true. My new adopted little 15 month old girl and I ROCK OUT to this song and she and I both love it. This will be the merriest of Christmases because I got exactly what I wanted!!
My favorite holiday song is Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”. I’ve been listening to this song for decades and I never get tired of it. What a voice that man had!
I like Jingle Bells. It was actually written in the town where I live. It’s about the sleigh races take took place just a few blocks from my house.
My favorite holiday song is We Three Kings because I enjoy playing it in the piano and singing with my family.
My favorite holiday song? Frosty the Happy Zombie!
My favorite holiday song is “The Chorus of the Bells” sung by a full choir. I just love that song and it gets me all choked up every time I hear it, when the whole choir gets going. Thanks for the chance!
I love “white christmas” I wish for a White Christmas every year… I love snow…I think that is why I love Monica’s fabrics :)
I have so many favorites! Oh my! But I always get teary when I sing, or hear anyone else sing, “Oh Holy Night”. I love the melody line and the sentiment and I love Christmas songs that talk about Jesus’ birth. Thank you for the chance to win. I hope I dooooo!
My favorite holiday song is The little Drummer Boy. It makes me happy and makes me cry all at the same time
Monica said, “GO!” So here I am. I don’t really have a favorite Christmas song. Hmmmmmm. I can say that I prefer carols as they are sung in church rather than the “holiday” music played ad infinitum on the radio and in the stores.
I have so many…but I think O Holy Night is probably my absolute favorite <3
I love ‘Christmas In New York’ by the Pogues. It reminds me of high school and singing it in the car with my best friend. She now lives half a world away, but when I hear it I always think of her.
‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’. I think I love it because it’s easy for me to sing. Must be in my key, lol. Or maybe it’s because of the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Who knows, I just love it!
Adeste Fideles because I can sing it in Latin and confound others!
Happy Christmas (War is Over) is probably my favourite modern Christmas song because it is something that we all want.
Silent Night is my favourite traditional carol…its always been there no matter where I am and no matter what language its sung in. Its just christmas for me.
Hugs, Sharon
Favorite holiday song…I think it’s called Blue Christmas…some of the lyrics: I’ll have a blue Christmas without you… reminds me of all the family I’m missing around the holidays!
“Its a Marshmellow World” by Bing Crosby has to top the charts for me as far as Christmas songs go.
My favorite Christmas Song is Oh Holy Night – I love the way it starts slow, telling the story, and then builds to this tremendous crescendo. It always gives me goosebumps.
My second favorite is The Little Drummer Boy because I remember taking my baby doll to school to play the baby Jesus and I was Mary, singing for the school concert. And then I remember both my daughters playing Mary too.
I love “Oh Holy Night” — thanks for this great giveaway — Merry Christmas to you!!!!
My favorite holiday song is, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”. When I was little my older brother was in the Vietnam war. My mom missed him terribly, and used to sing that song with tears in her eyes at Christmas time. None of us 5 kids could comfort my mom at Christmas while Gary was gone. Letters were far and far between, and we knew he was on the front lines fighting hard. Then we all got the surprise of our life when Gary walked in at Christmas time! The song took on a happier tone, and it has stuck with me ever sense.
My favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night!” I like the theme of this
song and we always sing it at our church’s candlelight service…
Many thanks, Cindi
Baby It’s Cold Outside. I like the jazz sound of it. Not too commercial and I like the fact that is a duet and when you see the song performed it is fun to see what actions are applied to the song.
Impossible to name a *single* favorite Christmas tune but I’m partial to “Gloria” by MercyME and “Christmastime” by Michael W Smith. Barbra Streisand’s version of “Jingle Bells” also makes me happy, and my December ringtones are “Mr Snowmiser” and “I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas.” The latter seriously ann
Errr… Jumped the gun in posting. LOL
My ringtones seriously annoy those around me. :-/
my favorite is carol of the bells cause it sounds awesome
LOVE the give aways – came from Ali’s blog.
My favorite song – when I MUST pick one and only one – is The Little Drummer Boy. In grade school, the girls in my class did a choreographed routine to the song. Ever since, it has been my most favorite. Though there are many close behind!
My favorite song during Christmas is Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.. its a beautiful bluegrass version that I play over & over. But the most favorite song I love is Drummer Boy..what can I bring him..my worship to our King! He doesn’t need our things.. he can use our hearts.
“Let it snow”. There is no christmas without it
I’ll be Home for Christmas is my favorite Christmas song. I’ve spent many years living overseas and this song always makes me long for home!
What a fabulous giveaway! My favourite holiday song, that always puts a smile on my face is Jingle Bell Rock! Fingers crossed!

My favourite holiday song is an Australian one called, “Three Drovers.” It makes me smile each time I hear it.

I love Joy to the World because I remember singing it in church as a young child. Thanks for the great giveaways. I would love to win a place in Ali Edward’s One Little Word class.
My favorite Christmas song is Silver Bells. The reason being is that my mother loved that song and I learned to plan it on the piano for her as a Chriatmas present.
I really like Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Perfectly unconventional and fun.
The 12 days of christmas is my favorite right now! It is fun to remember each days gift :) Easy to sing to too.
It would have to be carol of the bells cause it reminds me of Home Alone! One of my favouriite movies for the holidays. Thanks for the chance to win one of these awesome giveaways : )
My favorite holiday song is Little Drummer Boy – love the story!! Thanks!
I think it’s ‘O Holy Night’ but then the sound of a young chorister singing ‘Once in royal David’s city’ makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end! Oh, and I love ‘Have yourself a merry little Christmas’ too! Thanks for the great prizes!
*I’ll be Home for Christmas* is my favorite. It’s so touching and always captures the spirit of the season for me.
Not a traditional “carol” — but I LOVE “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”!
Hard to pick a favourite song, I love Frosty the Snowman.
I’ve always loved ‘December will be magic again’ by Kate Bush. Not a traditional Christmas song but one that says it all for me.
I think my favorite Christmas song has always been “Joy to the World”, it is such an uplifting and joyful song and it always feels like the sun is shining brightly when we sing it.
My favorite song is O Holy Night, because that depicts what this season is really all about. thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite Christmas Carol is Silver Bells – it reminds me of when I was little and we walked on snowy streets listening to the bells from the Church, from the stores and from the Salvation Army workers – bells everywhere!
My favorite holiday song is One Tin Soldier. It’s a bit sad, but the meaning behind it is what I like. It’s also something I remember from chorus in elementary school.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas……we always had snow when I was a child……..Enjoy….the coming year!
Well, I could make something up to sound nicer but honestly I really don’t care for holiday songs. So perhaps anything from “The Grinch” would be most appropriate? I do like to quilt though and Monica’s fabrics are great all year long!
Silent Night is my favorite holiday song. Fond memories of attending church with my Mother, the lights get turned out, we light candles and sing. It is beautiful.
I love Silent Night. Why, it makes me think of peace and quiet.. something that I find comforting and relaxing. It makes me think of happy times in my life.
Last Christmas by George Michael..it reminds me of my teenage years!
I love to sing Christmas songs but my favourite is Oh Holy Night especially Nsync’s acapella version. I love the Christmas message in it.
I love singing Deck the Halls when I decorate the christmas tree!
I’m a singer, so it’s difficult to choose just one! I love the traditional carols–my favorites are “Away In a Manger” with a lovely melody by William Kirkpatrick and “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming”, but Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” is just like snuggling up under a cozy blanket in front of a fire!
I love, love Oh Holy Night -even try to sing along with the radio when no one else is in the car!
my favourite christmas song is It Came Upon the Midnight Clear. it’s so bouncy and happy and warm… but i love listening to the Neil Diamond Christmas Album to get me into the mood pre-christmas. :D
My fav Christmas song would be “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas”. I love snow at Christmas it just feels more festive! Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite is hands down, “O, Holy Night”. I feel such incredible emotion in that song, and it always sends chills through me. Thanks for the chance!
Love this give away! So much inspiration!
Definitely ‘O, Holy Night’ and sung by my wonderfully talented husband!
i would so, so love to win a spot in ali’s class and, to boot, everything else looks amazing as well. thanks so much for the chance.
What fun! I like two songs, Rockin around the Christmas tree – sung by Brenda Lee, but I also really like Feliz Navidad. I like these songs because they are fun.
Wow, Wow, Wow… That’s all the words I can form. Thank you for a chance at these wonderful giveaways. I’ve been browsing Ali’s class for a few days now.
I love “White Christmas.” Who doesn’t love Bing Crosby? Living in Portland, OR, we don’t get much snow during the holidays, but boy, when we do, it’s pretty exciting!
My favorite chrismas song is “My Favorite Things”
I remember learning this song when I was very young and till this day, I will dig it up out of my old brain and sing it when I am having a bad day any time of year!
Brings me back to when I was young and life was easier!
Oh, so hard to choose! “Oh, come all ye Faithful” is probably my favorite especially when sung at the Christmas Eve service by all attending. I love the significance of the words as they remind all of the reason for the season.
We Three Kings – I love the tune, always have!
Nothing else has that sound.
I’d have to say “O Holy Night” with Nat King Cole singing…it’s just so heartfelt, emotional and beautifully melodic for me. Also, the Carol of the Bells is a favorite…I love to hear those combined voices keeping such amazing harmony and timing!
My favorite Christmas song is the one I loved as a small child, which captured the wonder for me of the real meaning of Christmas- Away in a Manger.
My favorite is Little Drummer Boy. It is such a touching song and I associate it with many good holiday memories.
My favorite Christmas song is “Away In a Manger”. The third verse always makes me cry. Always.
What a lovely offering…..like many others have said, I have many favorites. The one that always catches my heart is ‘Mary, did you know?’. I only discovered this song when my then-preschool tomboy daughter was asked to perform it in a Christmas program, but since then it has been a really special song to me.
O Holy Night – just about brings me to my knees every time!
I am dreaming of a white Christmas- has to be my favorite
Being from WI Christmas was almost always white and cold!
I’m here because Monica is very bossy and said I have to come and enter right away. Plus, I always do what I’m told. My fav song is Good King Wenceslas because it took me 20 years to learn how to say Wenceslas properly. For 19 of those years, I thought it was Good King Rents his House. Just kidding.
I like Jingle Bells! Its such a festive and cheerful song that reminds us to have some fun over the holidays and ring those bells! :) Thanks for a chance to win this awesome giveaway!
O Little Town of Bethlehem because it’s not over-played, I know all the words, and it gives me goosebumps when I sing it!

My favorite is Silent Night because it is so calming and what truly is important is the people in our lives and not stuff.
I like Grandma got run over by a reindeer… it always make the kids laugh
My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. My brother and I used to play duets when we were young. He played clarinet and I played organ and this was our favorite song to play. I imagine we probably sounded terrible…but oh the memories!
I love Frank DeLima’s Christmas songs. I look forward to the holiday season when his Christmas song is played on the radio. It’s catchy, funny, and really cheers you up. Christmas in Hawaii is the best–sunshine and snow and Santa comes in a canoe! Mele Kalikimaka!
I love “The Christmas Song”. Whenever I hear “chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”, it makes me feel all warm with Christmas spirit!
‘Oh Holy Night’ because that is really the reason for the season!
“i heard the bells on Christmas day” is fast becoming a year-round holiday favorite….for its message of hope in telling a complete story of life and its beautiful struggles :: God is not dead, nor doth He sleep…….
BandAid’s “Do they know it’s Christmas” makes you stop and think of others every time. We are so fortunate.
My favorite song is the Oh Holy Night. It is my favorite because it lifts my spirits and really makes you think about the reason for the season!
My fave holiday song this year is jingle bells. My 3 year old just learned the words and it’s so sweet to hear him sing it.
Love giveaways. Thanks so much!
My favorite is Mary did you know. It embraces the true meaning of the season.
Rockin around the Christmas tree!!!! It’s jazzy, snappy and makes me smile!
JIngle Bells…ol time favorite. Probably first song I learned as a kid and still love it!
My favorite Chrismtas song is Silent Night. I just love it. It sounds like a lullaby, and I can sing the harmony part which allows me to show off just a little! :)
I just have to throw in though that Martina McBride does the most beautiful rendition of O Holy Night-my second favorite Christmas song.
Oh Come All Ye Faithful is my favorite. It’s sung during Christmas mass every year. I just love it! Thank you for the chance to win.
Santa Claus is coming to town. I don’t really know why it is my favorite…I’ve liked it for years!
I really love the “Twelve days of Christmas” but I can never remember it all:) There is an ad on TV in Australia using this song as the theme so maybe this year I will learn the words!
Silent Night! I used to sing it as a little girl on our trip home from my grandmother’s house on Christmas night, lying in the back seat staring at the starry night sky.
My favorite record to listen to during the holidays was the one where the dogs barked all the Christmas carols. I don’t know the name of the record, but I remember listening to it throughout the holidays. It was always a family favorite.
my favorite holiday song is Silver Bells. we sang it in an elementary school Christmas program and I have loved it ever since.
I am probably too late for the gifts but I love the giveaways and putting in my 2 cents worth.
My favorite Christmas song is ‘Oh Holy Night’ The tribute to the Holy Birth but as I hear it sung I feel the Angels closer and my heart warm.
I also love ‘Silent Night’ (my nine year old daughter’s fave) , We Three Kings and Little Drummer Boy.
My favorite Christmas song is a 15th century German carol, “Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming”.
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
My favorite Christmas song has to be “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”. There are many others that I love, especially the hymns, but this one has such special meaning. I live on the other side of the country from my family, and due to money and circumstances, haven’t been able to share Christmas with them for many years. I also lost my darling Daddy in late September, so this Christmas will be especially hard for all of us. Thanks for the chance to win a great giveaway. Blessings!
My favorite holiday song is White Christmas because it always evokes the feeling of Christmas in all its glory.
My all-time favorite Christmas song is *Oh Holy Night*. The words and melody have always touched me deeply.
So many of the traditional Christmas songs are beautiful, but my favorite is John Lennon singing ” So this is Christmas”. Thank you all for a very generous giveaway.
Right now, my favorite song is Silent Night. I love it because my daughter is learning it on the violin and it is beautiful.
My favorite holiday song is Good King Wenceslas. I learned it very young and have loved it ever since… the rhythm, and the words combine to tell a story of caring and hardship that are as relevant today as ever.
My favorite is Away in the Manger — probably because it was one of the first Christmas songs I learned!
I really love Silent Night and O Holy Night. I like Grandma got run over by a Reindeer, that song always made my Grandma laugh so it reminds me of her.
My fav Christmas song of all time is “Oi to the World” by the Vandals. I like it because while it’s not a mainstream Christmas song (it’s by a punk band) it always gets me in the mood for Christmas and it ALWAYS has me singing along loudly with it!
It is 21 degrees here in Big Texas Panhandle so i would have to pick the same song Baby It’s CLOD outside I just all your fabrics and I would be so excited to win this prize in five days it is my birthday so i don’t anything better than fabric for my big day Thanks for all your time and talents I read your blog everyday When you are here in the panhandle it is get to have the internet A BIG TEXAS THANK-YOU TO YOU KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
“Silent Night” is timeless, meaningful and beautiful!
I love snow and so my all time favorite Christmas song is “White Christmas”.
Gee there’s some lovely songs listed but my favourite Christmas song’s would be “Six White Boomers” by Rolf Harris, very Australian, and I once heard “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer” and that made me chuckle.
Thanks! Tania.
I’m not sure what it says about me that my favorite holiday song is Weird Al Yankovic’s “Christmas at Ground Zero” because he’s brilliantly hilarious – simultaneously dark and chipper…. “All around the atom bombs are dropping/It’s the end of all humanity/No time for last minute shopping/It’s time to face your final destiny!” :D
Silent Night…true reason for Christmas
I love the beauty, simplicity, and message of Silent Night.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer because it reminds me of my favorite Christmas movie which is also the same name!
I am not sure if this is a holiday song, but it usually plays during the holidays – “Baby, it’s cold outside.” I love the juxtaposition of the male and female voices, the implied naughtiness mingling with the being a good girl. I am all about being playful, contrasts, and mystery! Love it!!!
White Christmas…because I am always wanting one! Silent Night is another fav!
I love Baby It’s Cold Outside, too. I can’t help but smile when I hear it.
favorite holiday is CHRISTMAS! Family, family, family!
oh, just saw it says holiday SONG… I’m lame. hmmmm, Little Drummer Boy, methinks. Reminds me of being pregnant with my boys and just BAWLING whenever I heard it! hahaha
my favoirte is Silent Night
Silent Night because of all of the beautiful memories it brings to mind.
Definitely Rudolf the red nosed reindeer, so cheerful & easy to sing loud!! Thanks for an awesome giveaway :)
My favorite Christmas carol is The Little Drummer Boy. I have memories of watching the show every Christmas with my mom when I was a kid. It was always one of my favorites that I looked forward to. I love the story and message of the song. I am not overly religious, but I love the fact that the Christmas story is said so well in that song. I also have this great memory of my little sister singing that song during a Christmas program when she was 12 years old. I love how it sounded in her young girl voice and I can still hear it in my memories today.
Honestly, a lot of holiday songs make me teary-eyed! So, I would have to say that my favorite is “Baby It’s Cold Outside” because it always makes me smile and there have been just SO MANY great covers of it! It never gets old!
thanks for the giveaway!
Dana
I love the 12 Days of Christmas. When I was in elementary school my friends and I came up with our own funny lyrics to the song.
I love Silent Night, especially when it is sung in candle light at church on Christmas Eve.
I get chills listening to Oh holy night. I also like listening to redone current christmas carols. thanks for the giveaways. kathy
My favorite carol would have to be “O Holy NIght” … always gives me goosebumps. Whenever I hear it I feel like I’m a kid again, at candlelight service.
I love many songs of the season, another favorite is the instrumental “Bring a Torch, Isabella”. I like a lot of the pop tunes too, classics and the newer ones.
What Child Is This? It has always resonated with me and I love it when we play it on handbells, but sometimes I get so caught up in the music I forget to play my part! :)
Christmas Card to You by…..drumroll…..The Partridge Family! Love the lyrics, love David Cassidy’s voice :)
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…….!!
That’s my fave at the moment because I love that time of year when it’s officially
Christmas season but with a fair way to go. So you can get right into the spirit of things with a couple of weeks to enjoy it all! That’s right about now, i reckon!!
Silent Night, we sang it in church when I was little……
Anything by Dean Martin. I have tons and tons of Christmas C.D’s… but I always come back to that one. He has the perfect voice for Christmas music!
I love the Little Drummer Boy version sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie….two smooth voices together. Lovely.
I don’t know why but one I enjoy is “Feliz Navidad”. I can’t forget “The 12 Days of Christmas”. But the one I like for this song is when they sing about The lights going out on the tree, visiting the in-laws. It is so true, especially the light problems. We have a GREAT New Orleans version of this song called “The 12 Yats of Christmas”.
My favorite holiday song has to be the Chipmunks Christmas song. It always brings a smile to my face. Whenever I hear it I remember shopping with my girlfriends at the mall for Christmas gifts.
As I am getting ready for the the holidays in styling the store we listen to so many but the one
that has always been the favorite is Bing Crosy’s Mele Kalikimaka. It is such a fun song to sing
and since I heard it as a kid I still dream of going to Hawaii or any exotic place that is warm.
Mele Kalikimake to all!
My favorite song is “Oh Holy Night”. It is sung every Christmas Eve at our church and it is always a special time.
What a fab giveaway! Thanks so much. I love Fairytale In New York by The Pogues and Kirstie Alley, I don’t know why, perhaps because it’s a little different? It gets me in the Christmas spirit every time!
My favorite Christmas song is definitely O Holy Night. It doesn’t matter who sings it, it is always beautiful!
LOVE the fabric, can see so many projects using it.
forgot to say my favorite song is White Christmas
Favorite holiday song? I can’t narrow it down. My favorite album (cd, whatever) is John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album. Makes me smile every time…
my favorite holiday song is Silent Night, it nearly gives me the chills and puts me at Peace remembering Jesus’ birth and how much He means to me. Amid all the hustle and bustle, it helps me remember the WHY and helps me slow down and reflect on what the reason for the season is truly.
My favorite christmas song is jingle bells
simply because one can teach the lyrics to a person as young as 2 .
At least the chorus. nothing is more fun than a group of little kids singing a christmas song.
Silent Night because it reflects the reverence for Jesus whose birth Christmas celebrates. Lovely giveaway = thank you.
Wow!! That’s a difficult one, there are so many. I think “O Holy, Night” would be on the top it’s what Christmas is all about.
Have a God Filled Day
Shirley
Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song. It reminds me of the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the opportunity.
I love so many, but I think my top two are O Holy Night and What Child Is This?–I heard both sung by an amazing alto when I was a child–I’ve never heard her equal (And I have no idea what her name is), but they always take me back to that memory.
‘Silent Night’ – it’s beautiful and tells the true story of Christmas. Just wish I did a better job of hitting those high notes :)
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
This is hard!!! I guess Jinglebell Rock. Silver Bells is a close second, and then the Holly and the Ivy. I really don’t think there is a Christmas song I don’t like – well the Grandma got run over one doesn’t twinkle my lights.
My favorite song is The Christmas Song – such a classic! Thanks for the generous give away!
White Christmas, it always takes me back to my childhood memories.
My favourite holiday song is Silent Night. I have always loved that song but it wasn’t until we had a baby girl born December 5, 1993 did it have special meaning. Our angel Laura was born with Trisomy 18 and she did not survive. This song gave me strength.
We now have four children who keep our Christmas spirit every day.
I love Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. I can’t hold a tune myself, but I love to hear others sing.
Thanks,
Peggy
http://keepmeinstitches-peggy.blogspot.com
I have two….”O Holy Night”, because it so gorgeously, perfectly represents the season in music and never fails to lift my soul. Then, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” because I live far from most of my friends and family, but I will be home for Christmas, “if only in my dreams…”
My favorite( and what I would love to be able to sing) is Oh Holy Night.
WOW All sorts of new artist to me. I’m making a list so I can go to all the sites and like. What a fun Christmas get away…
My favorite Christmas song is Silent Night. It brings me peaceful thoughts whenever I hear it.
Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win the great prizes.
I love any of the old Christmas carols. One of my favorites is Beautiful Star of Bethlehem. It always makes me happy to sing it.
My favorite Christmas song is “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” because it is the one I always sing at this time of year. It just pops in my head whenever I think of Christmas.
I love “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” sung by Burl Ives. It’s truly the “best time of the year”.
So have yourself a holly jolly Christmas this year!
My favorite holiday song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” because there is no better place to be for Christmas than at home with loved ones.
Dominic the Donkey! When I was a little girl, my mom & I would bake cookies and listen to radio. That song was so much fun! We would HEE HAW with the music! LOL
Many must have said already “Joy to the World”…if I had to pick my favorite “Joy to the World” would be it…. Reason why I love this song so ~ is that it announces to the World that Jesus was born & for heaven & earth to REJOICE…. this is the reason for the season & holiday… the song brings a warmth into my heart & soul & after singing it ~ it fills you with Joy & Celebration… thank you for listening… have a honey of a night ~ sweet dREaMs! Marlene
White Christmas. I live in the pacific northwest and white Christmas’s dont’t really happen for us.
Oooooo… I would love to win any of these wonderful giveaways. LOVE!!!
Lolol…oops sorry I forgot to say my fav’ song, my favorite holiday song is Carol of the Bells, it gives me goosebumps when it’s sung by a chorale in round. It screams Christmas to my soul. :)
What a great giveaway! My favorite Christmas song is Ava Maria, it is so beautiful and really makes me take time and reflect on the reason for all the celebrating that’s going on! Thanks again!
love the hokey song Blue Christmas, not really sure why. even love the porky pig version.
also love Good King Wencheslas, sure that is not spelled correctly.
Have a great Christmas!
Silent Night brings the spirit of the season to my heart and soul!
My favorite Holiday song would be O’Holy Night! It’s beautiful, and it gives the true meaning of Christmas!
My favorite song is “Winter Wonderland” because I began reading it to our fourth child when he turned one on November 20, 2005 and he immediately took to th song, memorized it and hasn’t stopped singing since… There’s nothing like a little opera and Elvis loving 7 year old to brighten a grouchy day.
My favorite holiday song is Mary’s Boy Child. I like both the modern Boney M version and the original. They really speak to the meaning of Christmas and have a great beat, too.
Silent Night! Especially love it sung at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Beautiful!
When I sing “O Come All Ye Faithful” – then I really know its Christmas! I love singing this song on Christmas Day with my family but even hearing it playing in the stores brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas. I am new to this givaway but am so pleased to be a part of it – thanks for the opportunity.
I reckon it’s got to be white christmas, because i love the snow, and that old fashioned crooner sound is just so gorgeous…
My favorite is “Mary did you know” because it tells the story of J Seuss Christ so beautifully.
My favorite Christmas song is Oh Beautiful Star of Bethlem. It is just a pretty song all year but is especially meaningful at Chrismas.
I love “Don’t save it all for Christmas Day that Celine Dion sings on her “These are special Times” Christmas CD. Such a pretty pretty song!
That is easy: Rudolph the red nose reindeer :) I sing and hum it all the time.
Thanks!
Susanne
My fave Christmas carol…and there are many… is Away in a manger. I remember as a little girl, my mum singing it to me at Christmas and I remember being so proud when I had learned all the words. Over the years it is the one I sang/hummed to calm my babies, the one that always brings a tear to my eye and the one with so many happy memories……
I love anything Frank Sinatra…his voice.
Donny Osmond’s version of Mary Did You Know? Says so much!!!
Would have to say White Christmas. Why – don’t know but have always liked the song.
White Christmas has to be mine. I love the old standbys!
I love “We Three Kings”.
First the tune. As a kid (and uh hem, an adult) I love the Christmas tunes in a minor key. Don’t know why. They’ve just always appealed to me.
Second, in fourth grade, we memorized all the obscure verses to this song. And I loved it! I still do. “Myrrh is mine, it’s bitter perfume, breathes of life of gathering gloom” A bit dark, but I loved it then and do now!
Wow! What wonderful give aways!!!
I love the song Silent Night – it is so peaceful.
My fav Christmas song is Snoopy’s Xmas as we use to sing it at school as a kid and absolutely love it
I love this song…I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!!
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Dream Big !!!
Boy this is a hard one, I can say O Come. O Come Emmanuel, has to be one of the tops.
I think my favorite holiday song is Carol of the Bells, because it reminds me of growing up singing it in choir!
Hark the Harold Angels Sing…by AMY GRANT …. says it all.
Andrew Peterson’s “The Ballad of Matthew’s Begats”. Dude, he made a catchy song of of Jesus’s geneology. It’s AWE-some.
My favorite holiday song is Our Love is Like a Holiday by Micheal Bolton. Not sure what it is about the song but everytime I hear it I just have to turn it up and dance with my kids. I just love that it is not your everyday holiday song.
I just love them all, so that is a tough question. I think Deck the Halls is a happy song and expresses the sentiments of the season. And I can sing along with it too!
My favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night” by Gary Morris.
It’s a simple reason, but there is beauty in simplicity…. I was home from college visiting my parents and my boyfriend (now my husband) had come home with me for the holidays. We went for a walk and commented on the cool night air and the starry skies of south Texas. All was peaceful and calm and all was right with the world. I went to bed that night listening to the radio and that song was playing. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face contemplating the beauty of appreciating those in our lives as our greatest gifts. Every time I hear the song “O Holy Night” I go back to that night so many years ago…
My favorite is Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. I love to sing this song, and, it reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas!
I only want you for Christmas by Alan Jackson
why? It just has the greatest beat to it and Alan is my favorite singer EVER
Happy Christmas! I just found you, after reading about you in American Patchwork and
Quilting!! My favorite song has got to be White Christmas with Bing Crosby; goes with my love of Retro…..
My favourite song is Jingle Bells because I actualy know the words!
“I’ll be home for Christmas” is my favorite Christmas song. Although I know my parents won’t be home for Christmas I still dream of them. How they loved the season! I lost them 14 months apart and Christmas was their favorite time.
Also I think of the men and women that have gone to war for us, hoping they will be home soon.
Merry Christmas!
My favorite is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen- love the sound- moody, Dickensian even. I close my eyes and I’m in 19th century London! Okay, maybe I’m the only one who feels that vibe but I still love it!
I LOVE all Christmas music, but if I have to pick just one song as a favorite I would have to say “Oh Holy Night” because that is what Christmas is about – our Savior’s birth. I never hear that song without shedding a few tears.
White Christmas! No one sings like Bing! I can’t decide each year if I love Holiday Inn or White Christmas the best, but they both make me think of those glamorous times and my favorite song.
“Jingle Bells”! Thanks for the chance to win)
What amazing prizes! Thanks for the chance to win! My fave holiday song is anything on any of Harry Connick Jr.’s Christmas albums!
While it is hard to pick just one I would have to say I love “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas” sung by Judy Garland the most of all it is beautiful and heartwarming every time I hear it. It is also one I can sing really well if I say so myself.
thank you for the chance to enter this lovely give-away. favorite christmas song is the simple classic, ‘silent night’, preferably sung by sinead o’connor.
xo
molly
I have to say silent night because my mom used to sing it to me as a child and……..I miss it :) !!!
Second would be frosty the snowman…just cause :)!!!!
favorite holiday song….. “Merry Christmas with Love” sung by Clay Aiken. Sad but a good reminder of the kindness we should always show to all.
I love What Child is This because it just seems to well up inside of me when I hear it.
“I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” brings tears to my eyes every time. I am not totally sure why I love this song so much. It’s just seems so powerful. Thanks!
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I’ll be Home for Christmas, brings back how happy I was to see my daughter return from the Airforce, safe for Christmas… and now with an over the road trucker husband, I look forward to him being home for Christmas,
Beautiful fabric.
Gladys
YAY!!!! Excited for the chance to win the awesome prizes! My favorite Christmas song is “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. I’ve loved this song since I was a little kid, I like the message that what makes Christmas special is the family and traditions we have together. Plus it’s pretty catchy and really happy sounding. Whenever I hear it I always get that Christmas Spirit feeling.
I have such fond memories of singing is a school chorus as a child
I got to sing silent night solo one night………It was a dream come true and I
did a good job too.
it is hard to pick just one favorite song because Christmas music is so much
a part of the holiday but that one does stick out in my memory.
thanks so much for a chance to win a prize from all these very talented designers.
Happy Sewing and Have yourself a Merry little Christmas…………..
Gloria, oh Gloria in Excelsis Deo because it’s been going through my head the past 24 hours.
Hello, My favorite Christmas song is White Christmas. This is so wonderful, thank you for the opportunity to win. I love seeing all these talented artists. Merry Christmas. Terri
White Christmas, by Bing Crosby.
My Dad would sing it to me…sometimes it can still make me cry…
My favorite holiday song would have to be “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel” a hymn written in the 1800′s. It has a haunting beauty, sung by a strong solo voice with chorus from a full choir or audience. “Rejoice, rejoice… Emmanuel has come to thee, oh Israel.” The One long waited for has come!
Silent Night. I just love the peace.
I know that this will sound funny but Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is it. It makes you look at Christmas with a funny aspect. I have always enjoyed and loved this song. You know that there is a cartoon and video. I love to watch them when they are on.
“Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” always makes me sing out loud, whistle or tap my toes. I just love the big man in the red suit. Are you on the naughty or nice list this year? I was always worried as a kid that I would make it on the naughty list, but never did. Whew! :)
I hope international readers can be included in this competition. I am so new to sewing (on the wrong side of 40) but so ecstatic to be learning from my gorgeous Mum! Somehow discovered the Happy Zombie and am soooo inspired I have to breathe into a paperbag!!!
Anyhoo, my fave Christmas songs are anything with an upbeat positive beat (Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree), because the slow melodious ones make me bawl my eyes out! Here in Australia, because it is so hot at Christmas an appropriate song is by a group called Hi-5 singing “Santa Wear Your Shorts”! Check out the lyrics. Very funny and the kids here love it!
Wow! What amazing prizes! I especially love Happy Zombie’s fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway!
And favourite Christmas song … Senor Santa Claus by Jim Reeves … we had the LP when I was a kid and it always was played as we decorated the tree. Cheesy, but fun!
The Christmas Song, by Nat King Cole is one of my favorites. his smooth silky voice, reminding us of what makes up the warmth of the season. It takes me back to a simpler time in life, were people paused to connect with one another through these simple things. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, jack Frost nipping at your nose, yule tide carols being sung by a choir.
Although it’s been said many times many ways ~~~ Merry Christmas to you!!!!!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer…. I love some of the more traditional ones too, but this one is my mom’s favorite and so it HAS to be played.. and sung along too.. LOUDLY .. at least one during the holidays. It’s hard not to like it when you have so much fun with it :)
Silent night is my favorite. It sets the tone for the true meaning of Christmas.
My favorite christmas song is baby it’s cold outside. I love a good conversation song! I have so many favorites but at this moment, it is my favorite! Thanks for the chance to win!
Silent Night! My mom used to sing it all the time when we were little. Now I sing it so much my daughter hates it. lol Maybe she’ll love it when she is the mommy! :)
Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song because it reminds me of our Saviors birth and the real reason for this wonderful season. God Bless and A Merry Christmas.
I like Jingle Bells..my mom said it was the first song i learned :)
JIngle Bells because I can remember both my daughters singing in when they were in preschool having their Holiday programs. So Sweet!
John Prine’s Christmas in Prison
“Rudolph the red nosed reindeer” if my favorite Christmas song. I have always loved the song and the movie as a child. I worked at Montgomery Wards in the office when I was in my teens. One of the Bosses came in one day who just happened to be Robert L. May who wrote the original Rudoph story. He gave me a signed copy of his story.
It touched & blessed my heart that he would stop and do this for me so much.
This year I have been loving Tchaikovsky’s, “The Nutcracker Suite’. The reason I’m loving it so much is because it takes me back to when I danced in Utah’s Ballet West production of ‘The Nutcracker’ as a child. I can still remember the dance choreography and have been teaching it to my 3 year old.
Let it Snow!!!
When you live in a land of Christmas in Summer you can only dream of cool snow as you sit down to eat your Christmas roast Dinner in blistering temperatures.
Merry Christmas and happy stitiching.
Baby it’s Cold Outside. I love this song because its slow and sweet. I love decorating to it because I can sing along and dance back and forth. You can dance with you love, whether its your spouse or your children. In the south we don’t always get the cold weather, but with this song its so easy to pretend that you are taking shelter with those you care about inside your house. It just brings everyone together.
Away in A Manager is my favorite Christmas song. I feel like it embraces the true meaning of the holiday and give me chills when I hear it.
Favorite Christmas songs are I’ll be Home for Christmas and Mary, Did You Know….love both of them!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Julie
There’s not too many that I don’t love, but I’d have to say that my favorite is Let there Be Peace On Earth….I keep hoping for peace in my family at least…I have a sister that has not been at a family gathering in about 25 yrs…so sad…I keep praying…
I love the David Bowie version of Little Drummer Boy. I think it’s the first modern carol I really ever heard.
I love the traditional oldies, but my all time fave is Madonna singing Santa Baby. It si just a cute song and reminds me of the “pin up” era.
The JInGLe BelL ROcK, of course! They are all great, actually. I am most fond of carols sung by my children. The way they misuse words, sing off key, and talk and yell the lyrics is music to my ears! :)
I love Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. Thanks for the giveaway
I have a newer favorite.. Faith Hill sings a song I think it is..Where are you Christmas..oh I so love that one!! Sarah
My favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night. I sang this song in honor choir thirty years ago and it has always been a special song to me.
I’ve mulled over this one for a few days. Christmas songs span over so many genras that’s it’s hard to choose, but probably the Halleluia Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. It always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
Rumpapumpum!! Little drummer boy!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen…because it reminds me of Christmas caroling when I was a child.
Ahh…my favorite holiday song is “Oh holy night.” I love the words, and when it’s played/sung just right, it gives me goosebumps. It’s what Christmas is really about.
My favorite traditional song is “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby(has to be Bing!)….but I’d have to say “Minnie & Santa” by Cindy Lauper. Every year, my partner & I start off Christmas decorating by putting on this song & singing /laughing at the top of our lungs. Such fun!
Silent Night.
My favorite holiday song is “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. It’s the Christmas song that always makes me smile.
Deb S.
I love all Christmas carols, would love to listen to them all year long. One of my favorites is “O Holy Night”.
way too many favorite songs! One of the top 10′s is “How Many Kings” It just speaks right to my heart about the sacrifice of our Savior
Nat King Cole singing “The Christmas Song” – and of course ANY carol that he sings! That is happy mochi yum yum! ( to coin a phrase!) hee hee! Happy Holidays!
Jude
“O Holy Night” is my favorite carol. It’s easy for me to sing along with and it gives me goosebumps.
Feliz Navidad is the fav at our house right now, and I really couldn’t tell you why except that when it come on all the kids want me to turn it up and we dance and sing at the top of our lungs ha ha. It’s been this way for the last 2 or 3 years, and I love it! Thank you so much!
my favorite holiday song is “mary did you know” I just love the sound of it sung traditionally. and the words make me want to cry each time I hear it – really brings the reson for the season to the front of my mind.
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
Breath of Heaven (mary’s song) Amy Grant it’s amazing

My sister and I always decorated the Christmas tree while dancing and sining along to the song “Santa Baby” – my favorite!

I don’t have a single favorite Christmas song but I do love listening to my “Christmas with the Rat Pack” album – always gets me in the mood!
“O Holy Night” just gives me chills when I hear it. It’s such a beautiful melody and tells what Christmas is all about.
Hi, Thank you for your part in the 12 days of Holiday giveaways. I have to say ” White Christmas” it is at the top of my list. Happy Holiday to You and Yours.
“O Holy Night” is my favorite traditional carol. But, growing up we had a record by the Peppermint Kandy Kids called “Rudolph’s Christmas Party” and the whole album is the best! I really wish I could find it so I could play it for my kids. I can still sing all of the songs…like “I’m Morris the Moose. Morris the Moose, that’s me.” So fun! Thanks for the chance!
My favorite holiday song is Silent Night. It just reminds me of what Christmas is all about and brings back memories of Christmas concerts as a kid.
My favorite holiday song is “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”. We’re a military family and that song really hits home (no pun intended).
My favorite song is O Come All Ye Faithful because I love to belt out the Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oria! part
Doh! I meant Angels We Have Heard on High… O Come All Ye Faithful was playing while I was typing…
My favorite song is O Come All Ye Faithful because I love to belt out the Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oria! part

O’ Holy Night This is the reason we celebrate the season. Thank you ladies one and all and happy holidays to all!
O Holy Night! It is an incredibly moving melody and the words explain why we celebrate Christmas. As well as, why Christ was born. I love it and every time I hear it, I cry.
well…….right now its the one Im learning on the piano….Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…………Im 58 and just started taking piano lessons, I know, Im nuts…BUT I wanted to play this song by Christmas, its hard, Im practicing, maybe I will get it!!!!!!
Thanks for the early Christmas with all these wonderful gifts. I love almost all Christmas music, but my favorite is Silent Night. It is one we sing each time we are all together for our Christmas celebration, and I love hearing my daughter play it on the piano and hearing the grandchildren singing along so sincerely and so sweetly.
I love the song away in a manger. It reminds us of the true reason for CHRISTmas.
I love the Carol of the Bells, especially George Winston’s version. Could listen to it all year long
My favorite is deck the halls. It reminds me of the my moms favorite movie the Christmas story, when they go for chinese food after there turkey is ruined and the restaurant owner tries to sing for them. We go for chinese food every christmas eve and sing this song :)
My favourite Christmas song would have to be “Let it Snow”! I live in Northern, Ontario Canada and boy does it snow here! The kids and I sing that song every snowfall!
Mary Did You Know? It gives me goose bumps every time
So many favorites, but there is nothing like Silent Night sung at our Christmas Eve Service amidst all the candlelight.
My favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night”.
Love Mary DId You Know. Just don’t hear it enough!
Away in a Manger because it is what the holidays are all about.
“I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” is my current favorite Christmas song. I know it isn’t a traditional one, but as a Pediatric Nurse, I love things that kids love. This is my ringtone during the Christmas season because it never ceases to bring a smile to my face!
I love any Christmas music by Mannheim Steamroller.
I’m not certain if the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah qualifies, but it’s my absolute favorite. It’s majestic, and it was always sung at Christmas time by the Choir I was in in high school. I cannot NOT sing it, if I hear it – Ii am COMPELLED to at least mouth along the words with a trickle of sound.
Second would be O Come O Come Emanuel. I love Enya’s rendition of it even better than the traditional version.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer! My grandma used to love this song and sing it all the time. It always makes me think of her when I hear it.
My favorite Christmas song is Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Maybe because I kow all the words & it speaks to all the good things about Christmas! Great giveaway – thanks for the chance to win.
I kind if love pretty much all Christmas music. Baby It’s Cold Outside is a favorite, but as for religious songs, I love Mary Did You Know?.
My favourite song is Silent Night. I also feel so calm and peaceful after listening to it. It helps when holiday time can be very stressful.
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas – growing up in the North East, a White Christmas is a must!
silent night holy night still sends chills up my spine. thanks, kathy
O Come, All Ye Faithful. It’s beautiful and it’s my mom’s favorite so it always reminds me of my childhood.
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. I just love the music and the words are wonderful too…..”And wild and sweet, the words repeat, of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Silent Night, Holy Night… by candle light at church… always brings tears of joy, memories, sorrow for the ones not present, hope for the future…
Coventry Carol, it is simply so pretty
I love Silent Night, always have and I think it is the only song I ever learned to play on the organ. What a wonderful giveaway, thanks!
Got to be “Let it Snow!”. I do love a white Christmas.
John Denver & the Muppets
Alfie: The Christmas Tree/Carol for a Christmas Tree/It’s In Every One of Us
Even as a very young girl this story and song showed me the importance of Christmas is of loving each other and giving to take care of each other.
Immanuel is my favorite song.
carol of the bells or o holy night- i love the vocal percussion in carol of the bells and the high, clear notes in o holy night.
Jingle Bells. It brings back childhood memories.
Deck the halls…simple and fun
Jingle bells!
Jingle bells- because each child has different words. I am sure they will learn the “right” words one day but I love the versions they have come up with
Santa Claus is coming to town – kids love it and I do to!
Oh, I love all Christmas songs! But especially Oh Holy Night – so powerful!
Favorite Holiday Song… probably a tie: White Christmas or Let it Snow. I’m from MN, and now I’m in central Illinois. And we get far too little snow here.
I love Silent Night, it is such a beautiful song and it reminds me of being in the Sunday School Christmas concert.
Silent Night. It brings back a fond memory of a late Christmas Eve drive with my dad.
It’s a Dutch Christmas song: de herdertjes lagen bij nachte.
It reminds me of my peaceful childhood.
I could never pick just one favorite! White Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Baby it’s Cold Outside, I could go on and on, I love them all!
My favorite holiday song is:
Santa Claus is coming to town.
why?
i have always enjoyed singing it to my children, and now my grandchildren to remind them to be good for goodness sakes!
I love the Little Drummer Boy. Something about that songs takes me straight back to my childhood. Thanks for the chance to win!
O Holy Night….I LOVE to hear this sung at Christmas Eve services.
I love “its begining to look a lot like Christmas!” it says it all ! Thank yoU!
My favorite holiday song is Hallelujah Chorus. It just sounds so majestic and you can’t beat all the funny videos of this song that people are putting up on YouTube now. It just adds to the overall “rush” I get every time I hear it.
Definitely in favor of all the traditional songs. I really like “oh Holy Night” and “Mary Did you Know.” Nothing like a true Christmas song in the midst of all the silly songs this time of year. I like those two songs because I believe they are great examples of the true meaning of Christmas.
“Away in a Manger” I have sung it since I was a child and used it as a lullaby for my babies. I still can’t get through it without tears coming to my eyes ~ our Saviour came to us as a babe!
I love “Oh Holy Night” and the version by Celine is amazing! It’s the “reason for the season”! Love Monica’s stuff!! Really great! :)
My favorite song is “O Holy Night!” It’s a beautiful song that is so touching, regardless of how many times you hear it. It’s always just as beautiful as the first time. :)
Frosty the Snowman- I relate it to watching the cartoon as a kid and see the whole story in my head.
The Little Drummer Boy. It reminds me of Christmas as a child and brings me back to holiday memories at my Grandmother’s house. She had an old stereo , one of those long cabinet type ones and this one Christmas album that I think we wore out when we were kids.
I love, love, love the song Walking In the Air from the movie The Snowman. It is sort of a dreamy, magical kind of song that transports me into the Christmas season.
My favorite holiday song is Santa Baby, by Eartha Kitt. My daughter (when she was 2) started calling the big guy “Santa Baby” every time she saw him because of that song. It was the cutest thing – everywhere we went that year she would say “Look Mama, Santa Baby!”
Hearing my 2-year-old daughter sing “Jingle Bells” is the sweetest sound in the world – so right now that is my favorite holiday song.
Nat King Cole singing The Christmas Song
Enjoy the day!
Erin
The First Noel
I like the melody of that one and the lyrics.
I love the entire Messiah, but my favorite single songs are O Holy Night and Joy to the World. I’m an organist and both of those sound fantastic on the organ ! Plus, the words aren’t too shabby either ;)
Oh Holy Night. The words of the song helps you to remember what Christmas
is all about.”Til He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth, A thrill of hope,the weary world
rejoices.”
“O Holy Night” gets me every time, just from its sheer beauty. Plus, it reminds me of falling asleep at midnight Mass as a kid.
“Silver Bells.” It’s the one I sing out loud when nobody else is around. :-)
The Hallelujah Chorus just makes my soul sing. Wonderful giveaways!
This song is associated with Christmas, but I love to listen during the holidays and anytime before or after when Vermont is getting snow. It is so appropriate. It is Let it Snow.
Baby it’s cooold outside. It always makes me smile. I love romance.
My favorite holiday song is “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The music just grabs me and is so relaxing to me
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas because it expresses the exact sentiments I feel this time of year.
“O Holy Night” because Jesus is the reason for the season.
my favorite holiday song is Little Drummer Boy as it always makes me think of my mother.
My favorite Christmas song is the First Noel. It just touches my heart and expresses the true meaning of the season for me.
Rudolf the red nosed reindeer! It’s such a great song to sing (an earworm I gladly entertain) with such a simple message – just be you. I loved it ever since I was a kid and hum it around this time of the year to no end. Drives my hubby bonkers :)

Anything Dean Martin!!! he reminds me of my childhood and I think he is dreamy, my 3 teenagers even like it.
Favorite holiday song is O Come All Ye Faithful, because a) it reminds me of my grandparents, and b) I actually know how to sing the harmony part! :)
My favorite holiday song is Jingle Bells. It just brings back happy childhood memories of my parents singing it to me and my 3 siblings.
Thank you,
ann
There are so many choices but White Christmas, especially if you listen the the Pre verse. It was written in Hollywood where he was wishing for a white christmas. We moved to LA when I was a kid and the one time a year you want snow – CHRISTMAS!!!! Still miss it to this day and thats a long time ago!
I love Little Drummer Boy–I guess because the idea of giving Jesus something simple and heartfelt appeals to me.
One more sleep till Christmas. Its so hopeful and sung by Kermit…how can you go wrong?
There are so many wonderful Christmas songs, but my favorite is The Little Drummer Boy.
There are so many, 2 that come to mind are, Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree and the other is a classic…Jingle Bell Rock.
White Christmas! It’s beautiful and who doesnt love Bing and Holliday Inn! Funny thing is that I don’t have white Christmas’ in Texas!
I love O Come O Come Emmanuel – both the words and the music. I love all the traditional Christmas hymns.
My favorite song this time of year is “O Holy Night” which I have like 50 different versions of and could actually listen to most of them all in a row! There is something beautiful about that song that pulls out all of my emotions and makes me feel..I don’t know, something I can’t explain I guess! lol.
I love the whole of The Messiah. This is the one time of year I’d have the patience to listen to it. And I love the message – straight from scripture.
I love the melody and harmony in Carol of the Bells. (Garmin has almost ruined it for me, but I try not to listen to that commercial)
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I love the vocals in Carol of the Bells (Garmin has almost ruined it for me, but I try to ignore that commercial)
These all look like lots of fun!
I love the instrumental bell version of Carol of the Bells. I always think about how much work it is to get all those bells and people working together to get the timing right.
I like the Raffi song, Must Be Christmas, because my daughter loved it, and I used to be a preschool teacher. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I love “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” There is such a sad story behind the song, but he manages to end on a hopeful, positive note. After the year I have had, that is what I am hoping for this Christmas also.
I like jingle bell rock, it reminds me of Lethal Weapon 1. :)
Jingle Bell Rock
I love “White Christmas” since living in Washington State we don’t usually get snow for Christmas and as a kid I always hoped for snow. Thanks for the great give aways!
The Little Drummer Boy. I’ve loved it since I was a kid.
Once in Royal David’s City…because of the words. It’s just so touching and so true all He gave up for us!
Any song my 4 yr old son sings to me, which is normally a mixture of 4 or 5 songs compiled into one, not unlike those old Ronco advertisements for record collections.
Joy to the World! Is my favorite one to sing along to. My favorite one to listen to is Jesu, Son Most Sweet And Dear – with Kathleen Frost singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Wow, it is ethereal and I could have it on repeat for hours as I drive through the snow layered ever darkening night.
I love all traditional Christmas Songs, one of my favorites is Santa is coming to town!
God rest ye Merry Gentlemen. I loved playing my part when the band performed it!
For beauty, I love ‘Silent Night” For fun “Santa Baby”
favorite holiday song…do you hear what I hear? among others…how can you pick just one? oh the memories!
I love Burl Ives’s Holly Jolly Christmas. The song is fun to sing and I’ve got my grandson learning the words this year.
WOW WOW WOW WOW What wonderful gifts. Any one would be wonderful but all of them would be over the top.
Let it snow let it snow let it snow~ Its such a warm butterflies in your stomach song. It never snows here in my country, so this song just bring me to a special place (which I imagine) and it really feels good….
