    My favorite holiday song would have to be dreaming of a white Christmas. Makes me smile every time.

    Silent Night! I love listening to children sing this one!!! They sound like lil angels!

    All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth – reminds me when I was 4 and fell down the steps on Christmas Eve and knocked out my teeth – I was so excited to see a family friend who came to visit!

    my favorite Christmas song is probably “Labor of Love,” written by Andrew Peterson, and performed by Jill Phillips. i find that i especially relate to it as a mother, having experienced childbirth ;) here’s a link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KY6Hov0wSc

    My favorite Christmas song is When Christmas Comes To Town, from The Polar Express. My daughter sung this in a concert and I have been in love with the song since. Have to admit, it may not be the song, just the way she sounds when sings it.

  15. josette November 16, 2011 at 6:22 PM #

  16. Jeanine L. November 16, 2011 at 6:23 PM #

  22. Amber November 16, 2011 at 10:46 PM #

    I have always, always loved rockin’ out to Trans-Siberian Orchestra while baking cookies – especially “The Silent Nutcracker” and “A Mad Russian’s Christmas.” My baking always turns out better with the addition of a little rock music…

  23. Diane November 16, 2011 at 11:18 PM #

    I love Little Drummer Boy and Silent Night.

  24. Tracy Finney November 16, 2011 at 11:29 PM #

  28. Kassie Budzinski November 17, 2011 at 11:08 AM #

    My favorite Christmas carol/song is Shake up Christmas by Train. Me and my little sister have it blaring while hanging up lights and decorating the christmas tree. Makes my heart Happy! Also love “Do they know it’s Christmas time”

  29. Caitlin Knight November 17, 2011 at 1:46 PM #

    Silent Night has always been a favorite for me. Puts me right in the spirit!

  31. Brandi November 17, 2011 at 8:35 PM #

    I love “The Christmas Song” sung by Nat King Cole.

  32. Jessica November 17, 2011 at 9:04 PM #

    I love Christmas songs, hard to pick just one! I think it would be Oh Come all ye Faithful because it reminds me of my dad singing in the Christmas choir at church when I was a kid.

  33. Catherine Bath November 18, 2011 at 3:39 PM #

    Joy to the World is the song that makes me feel cheerful and bright.

  34. Andrea November 18, 2011 at 3:49 PM #

    Tie between “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” sung by Frank Sinatra and “All I Want for Christmas is You” sung by Mariah Carey.

  35. Rachel November 18, 2011 at 4:33 PM #

    This is an easy question! I LOVE Rockin Around the Christmas Tree as sung by Brenda Lee. So much fun and makes me feel all warm and festive inside.

    • Sarah Bond November 18, 2011 at 5:23 PM #

      That’s my favorite too, Rachel!

  36. Katie Bradford Osborne November 18, 2011 at 4:54 PM #

    I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day which is basically a poem by Longfellow that was put to music. He wrote it during the Civil War, and it reminds me that no matter how bleak things look, especially sometimes at the holidays when you’ve lost those you love and we’re in times of war or upheaval, there is always hope and a reason to be happy.

  37. Carol November 18, 2011 at 5:34 PM #

    I must go with Hark the Herald Angels Sing

  38. jckwcs November 18, 2011 at 5:42 PM #

    Silent Night is by far my favorite Xmas carol. Gives me goosebumps every year.

  39. Melissa November 19, 2011 at 3:03 PM #

  44. georgiana November 29, 2011 at 1:58 PM #

    there are too many good ones to pick one, but i do love silent night and so do my children!

  45. Sara J November 29, 2011 at 8:39 PM #

    I am actually not a fan of Christmas carols, so I went on a search recently for those I could enjoy. I am in love with Ludachrismas by Ludacris… hysterical!! Slightly more traditional – Merry Christmas by The Ramones.

  46. Shana November 30, 2011 at 7:50 AM #

    I’ve always really liked “have yourself a merry little Christmas”. Such a simple tune.

  47. Brittany Snyder November 30, 2011 at 8:17 PM #

    Gotta love “Christmas All Over Again” by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
