Default What is your favorite Christmas song?

I do not believe anyone has asked this here yet this season, so I'll start. Here is my all time favorite....

Mary did you Know? Written by Mark Lowry. Here it is sung by Pentatonyx...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifCWN5pJGIE

Kathy Mattea also does a nice rendition of this. So does Peter Hollens.

For something a bit less known and different, one of my favorite Christmas albums is Rodger Whittaker's Christmas album, done back in 1978 Here it is on Youtube;

I know there are many others....Karen Carpenter's Ava Maria gives me goosebumps even after all these years...

What are yours?

Frank

I grew up in a small German-American community and remember with great fondness the choir singing "Stille Nacht" every year during midnight Mass. I still get goose bumps when I hear it.

On the secular side, I learned to love "White Christmas" after spending Christmas with my Army buddies one year rather than being home for Christmas.
