Default What is your favorite Christmas Carol?
My favorite Christmas carol is Bing Crosby and David Bowie's recording of The Little Drummer Boy.

Sorry, I think The Little Drummer Boy is the most annoying song ever written. Rat-a-Tat Humbug

Much better. Almost on a par with All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Classics.

Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer", Lennon's "Happy Christmas" and "Christmas Shoes". Thumbs down on "Little Drummer Boy"

I think my favorite is O Holy Night......but there are so many good ones!

A newer song that is my ALL TIME favorite is "Mary, did you Know". I could play it all year, and it brings tears to my eyes every time. I really like Kathy Mattea's version.

Mercy Me came out with another beautiful song called "God with Us". Very powerful.

Silent Night is right up there also. I love going to candlelite services and singing this as the sanctuary changes from darkness to light, all from candles.....

Here is a Youtube video of "Mary did you know" Embedding is disabled, but just click on it to watch it through Youtube. It is so beautiful and it shows all of the words. Very moving.....
