My all time favorite is O Holy Night. There are so many versions but for some reason that song is just so uplifting (and I'm not even all that religious!)
And I "hearted" your Etsy Shop!
My favorite Christmas song is "O Come All Ye Faithful." It is a call to worship that I find meaningful. It's also a song my son used to ask me to sing to him every night before he went to sleep. He's grown now and no longer needs me to sing hi to sleep! :), but the memory is precious.
Love this bag! I'm going on a cruise in Feb. & it would be perfect! :-) My favorite Christmas song is Carol of the Bells b/c it is just a classic to me! So pretty! Thanks so much!

My favorite song is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. It has a catchy beat and when my kids were all still at home, it was on a tape we would play as we drove around the neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights
O Holy Night - b/c when I get to singing the part where it says: "Fall on your knees..." I always tear up. In that moment I always feel this overwhelming sense of surrender to God.
I love the song "how many kings" by Down Here.
I love the song "Go tell it on the Mountain"- because when I was little we were singing it in church and I was belting it out so loud the guy in front of my mother asked if I was part of the choir! Maybe I was getting a little too into the song!
the.ant.hil(at)gmail(dot)com
My favorite Christmas song is Rockin Around the Christmas Tree; it cracks me up and makes me want to dance!

texhelena(at)aol(dot)com
This year Jingle Bells is a favorite -- esp. when a just turned 4 yr old is interpreting the words!
My favorite xmas song is "all I want for christmas" by mariah carey. I usually don't like her music, but this song is so upbeat and happy. Makes me smile and sing along every time I hear it.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Mary Did You Know...it is interesting to me to think about what it must have been like to be pregnant with the Saviour of the world. And I think I'm under a lot of pressure! WEW!
