It's that time of year--the decorations come out, shoppers increase, and you hear Christmas music everywhere.

So...what's your favorite Christmas song?

First I have to say- great topic! Was thinking of starting this myself!

I have a lot of favorites but these are my stand outs-

My favorite is "It came upon a midnight clear" but it's by Hall&Oates.

Please listen if you haven't- it is simply beautiful.

I have three honorable mentions, in no particular order-

Santa Claus is comin' to town by the Boss (my sons fav growing up)

Christmas, Baby please come home by U2 (Bono kills this song)

Do they know it's Christmas? by Bandaid (an incredible collab imo)

🎄⛄️🎁🤶🏻

Almost forgot about this song until watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation last night (IMO the funniest Christmas movie of all time)

The Spirit of Christmas by Ray Charles (1985)

Such a beautiful song that captures so perfectly what Christmas is all about

My favorite sacred carol is - Silent Night

And this is the most beautiful rendition, and unique arrangement that I've ever heard. It's by Celtic singers, Steve McDonald and his daughter, Hollie Smith.

Pretty paper. Although I do like the Willie Nelson version, Glen Campbell's version is so nice. Another talent lost to Altzheimers in 2017. RIP Glen

Back in the 60's, we used to get a free album w/purchase from a local store. It was a compilation of Christmas music that ranged from symphony orchestras and opera singers to pop and folk singers. There were a few songs on those albums by The New Christy Minstrels that I learned and loved to sing along with. Well, I found them on iTunes the other day and now they are on my Christmas playlist. I started to play them and after all of these years, still remembered all of the lyrics! If you've never heard them, they are pretty little songs with beautiful harmonies.

My favorite Christmas song can be found on Barbra Streisand's 2001 "Christmas Memories" CD. The song is "One God." Every time I hear it, the experience brings tears to my eyes because the lyrics are so simple yet profound. In this world of ours, imagine living in unconditional harmony, respecting the differences and actually practicing faith, hope and charity. To hear this classic, go to YouTube.com and type in "One God" by Streisand. It begins like this:

Millions of stars placed in the sky's
By One God
Millions of us lift up our eyes
To One God

So many children calling to Him

By many a different name
One Father
Loving each the same

Many the ways all of us pray
To One God
Many the path
Winding their way
To One God

Brothers and sisters there are no strangers
After His work is done
For your God and my God
Are one ..............

My No. 1 favorite is O Holy Night by Seline Dion.

Also, Silent Night then Mary, Did You Know by Mark Lowry and One God by Trisha Yearwood. I watched the CMA Country Christmas this past week and enjoyed Trisha's performance of it.
