- Someday At Christmas- Stevie Wonder because its a classic, I love his voice, and its about putting down the weapons, ending the wars, and filling the world with peace on Christmas and remembering what its for.
- It Came Upon A Midnight Clear- Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra because two oldies but amazing singers, and we played the song in band and I… I just get the chills when I hear it
- Christmas Shoes- Newsong Tear Jerker
- A Child Of The Poor/What Child Is This? Because it reminds me Christ was, well a child of the poor! Christianity is the most accepting religion and the most forgiving.
- Mary, Did You Know? (I like the Cee-Lo Green one) Because, well its a good question! Gabriel touched on shes going to give birth to the Son of God, but does she know that He is going to save the world! Haha

Mary’s Boy Child.
It’s been my favourite Christmas song since I heard it first in childhood. As an adult, I think it’s the steel drum bands. They make such a celebratory sound and for some reason I can imagine steel drum bands announcing Christ’s birth very vividly when I hear them.

I like “Joy to the World”. I always get a little choked up singing it because it is SO, well, JOYFUL.
I also love “Violet in the Snow” but I haven’t heard it since I was small.
“Oh Holy Night” I’d absolutely beautiful when sung by the choir at midnight Mass.

Wait. There was a question for why
Adeste Fideles– No particular reason, actually
Stille Nacht– Whoever says German is a harsh and guttural language has never heard this song in the original German
Christmas Shoes– Personal reasons, but not what you’d immediately expect
Christmas Canon– I’m a sucker for musical canons

Twelve things of Christmas that are such a pain to me…well, just because…

Ahh, so many. I like all of these songs anytime, but especially performed by the mentioned artists.
What Child is This by Josh Groban - my favorite Christmas song combined with his amazing voice…beautiful!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman - it’s got a nostalgic feel to it, I can’t explain why I like it.
Do You Hear What I Hear? by Bing Crosby - again, a great voice joined with a great song. It’s such an innocent, sweet song.
Carol of the Magi composed by John Rutter - a contemporary piece written for a choir. The lyrics are from the perspective of the three wise men, and the melodies/harmonies are lovely. A new favorite.

A great song. For a few years, I would play this on the piano at Mass, with my mom singing, for the Epiphany. I love the counter-melodies of the singing and the piano accompaniment (and What Child is This? is a favorite of mine).
