Is there a favorite song you love to hear at this time of year because it "touches your heart" and gives you some holiday spirit? For me it's: Little Drummer Boy ~ Bob Seger and O Holy Night ~ sung by anyone with the pipes to do it justice!

I love Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and adore the Mel Torme and the Cincinnati Sinfonietta Christmas album. This is more than one song but these are my go-to collections, and never fail to get me in the "spirit". Great musicians, great music, and the holiday vibe.{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I love Chiristmas music. The Hanson Christmas cd is my favorite. It is just fun. I also love the songs Baby It's Cold Outside & Santa Baby.

My favorites are "My Grown Up Christmas Wish" by Barbra Streisand, "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band-Aid, and "Joy to the World". For the fun songs, I love "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and "Jingle Bell Rock". {#emotions_dlg.thumbup} Sorry, too many good songs to narrow down to just one.

My all-time favorite Christmas song is ""Silent Night"". That song can bring me to tears. It just brings back the memories of attending Midnight Mass with my parents when I was a child.

During the holiday season I listen to Jim Brickman's ""The Gift"" and Kenny G's version of ""Silver Bells"" over and over again. Another favorite of mine is Trans-Siberian Orchestra's ""Christmas Eve and Other Stories"" album.

This time of year is all about Thanksgiving, we don't sing Christmas carols while we eat Thanksgiving dinner.

I just got Idina Menzel's new Christmas CD as a gift, and her version of "Do You Hear What I Hear" gives me goosebumps. And yes, that's my very favorite holiday song.
