  1. One of my favorite Christmas songs is 'Belleau Wood' by Garth Brooks. The power of a song can touch every heart, especially at the holidays- even in a war zone.

  7. I created a Christmas music channel on my Pandora radio today... It was so nice to have Christmas music playing in the background while I baked. It really gets me in the mood for the holiday!
    Thanks, Angela for stopping by today ;}

  11. I like Snoopy's Christmas. I never feel it's Christmas time until I hear this song.

  12. Oh Nadja, I can't name just one. I was a soprano in elementary school before my voice changed, and I loved having the solo for Oh, Holy Night. I was the only one who could hit the high note; ha, now I couldn't hit it with the help of a ladder!

    I do love Angels We Have Heard on High, too, again, because of the Glo-o-o-o-ria that slides down the scale.

    I love almost all the old carols, and a lot of newer ones. See, I can't stop!

  15. So excited about the possibility of free books! My favourite 'pop' Christmas song has to be Mariah Carey 'All I want for Christmas is you' and my favourite carol? I think it might be silent night. So peaceful and lovely.

    Forget to post about your 12 days of Christmas so will tweet about it now!

    Shelley - Snoopy Christmas is great! You have to hear that at least once during the season, right?

  20. 'O Holy Night' is another great one! Hope everyone stays safe this holiday season (seems like everyone loses the majority of their sanity in driving and shopping)... peace, love and joy be yours! Merry Christmas!!

  25. My favorite Christmas song in White Christmas. After every play I did in high school closed, we'd go around to the directors' houses and sing it while we TP'd their yard. (They expected it!) It just makes me happy.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I guess my favorite Christmas song is White Christmas too. I love to hear either Elvis or Bing Crosby sing it the best. (Although the video of Santa and the Reindeer singing it that went around a few years ago was priceless...heehee).

  27. My favorite Christmas song is "In the Deep Midwinter" (this rendition by Gloucester Cathedral Choir gives me goosebumps, so lovely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRobryliBLQ )

  28. My favorite song is Angela Lansbury singing " We Need a Little Christmas." It happened to be one song on a collection I bought for our first Christmas (19 years ago) and I'd never heard it before. But now, it's not Christmas until I hear it!

  29. My favorite song is Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song". I grew up in NYC and have memories of the chestnut vendors.; The song brings me back to cold nights on Herald Square smelling the roasting chestnuts. AM ramblingwitham.blogspot.com alanamautone@hotmail.com

  30. My favorite Christmas song changes every day, but today it's Oh Holy Night, simply because it's beautiful. :-)

    I hope this competition is open to foreigners.
