My favorite song of the season is "O Holy Night", but not just any version. I LOVE the one that they play in Home Alone where Kevin goes into the church...do you remember that scene? It was actually sung by the Trinity High School Choir (I just love Google!), and it is the most gorgeous arrangement of it that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, I can't find it on the little playlist finder thing, so I chose another good one from Home Alone, "Carol of the Bells". Sounds like I'm a little obsessed with that movie, huh? I'm really not, I just love the sound of a choir singing, and I think that this particular choir just sounds so angelic. Take a listen, and see for yourself!
I also love "Baby, It's Cold Outside"...but only the original version. I know, I know...I'm a little picky with my versions :) And, the Boston Pop Orchestra's rendition of "Sleigh Ride" is awesome too. It just really gets me in the mood for some hot chocolate! We heard it when we were in Hamburg, and I think I started dancing (Chris quickly told me to stop since we were in the middle of a hoard of people, and my dancing isn't too pretty!) And perhaps one of the sweetest Christmas songs is "My Grown Up Christmas List". I actually had it in my head when I woke up this morning, and it's what inspired me to finally conquer this whole Blog Music thing!
I'd love to hear what some of your favorite Christmas songs are, and why they hold a special place in your heart. I'll even add them onto my playlist (that is if I can find them!!)...there can never be too much of the holiday spirit!!
Happy listening :)

Aww! I love Christmas Music! I'm glad you have the Kelly Clarkson verison on your player, it's much better than the Amy Grant one.
My favorite song is Silent Night. It's the last song they sing at church every year while we light the candles! It's so gorgeous and when we were kids it was so "dangerous" to play with fire while dressed in our Christmas best. I love this song and actually sang it to Sawyer quite often when he was small because he liked it (it was a few months past Christmas, but you do what the baby wants if you want to get some sleep!)
O Holy Night - I normally don't care for much of her music, but I LOVE the Celine Dion version.
I also love Baby it's cold outside!! You got to throw in Wham "Last Christmas" too ;-)
And, you're not a true Texan without Merry Christmas Strait to You!
You also gotta have "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Vince Vance and the Valiants, it's my all time favorite. I must get it from my dad.
