    I've recently been exposed to a Christmas song that's fairly new: Hope For Everyone. It's sung by Matt Maher of Casting Crowns. It has inspiring lyrics starting gently then coming to a climax powerfully! Very heart moving and contemporary Christmas song. It's definitely worth listening to on YouTube if you haven't ever heard it. This is my favorite contemporary Christian Christmas song.

    I have some favorites- Drummer Boy- makes me cry everytime I hear it. Jose Feliciano- Felix Navidad- makes you sing the song out loud everytime with everybody! Another one- Grandma, got run over by a reindeer- now that I'm a Grandma it's halarious! Makes you smile and laugh.

    Another one from Hawaii- Mele Kaliimaka is the thing to say on a Hawaiian Christmas Day-makes your Heart fill with so much Love and Compassion.

    I just finished reading Stories Behind The Best Loved Christmas Songs by Ace Collins. This book added so much meaning to our favorite songs. The man that wrote Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer wrote it because his wife was dying of cancer and all their money went for medial bills. They lost their home and were living in the slums. They had nothing to give their young daughter for Christmas, so he wrote a book for her Christmas gift.  This sad beginning turns into a true miracle when the book is turned into a song and becomes the second most popular song ever recorded, after White Christmas.

    He gives the background on 31 songs, believe me you will never listen to these songs again without thinking of their true meaning.

    I have several favorite Christmas songs, the first being "Little Drummer Boy."  I also love "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", although it is king of melancholic, and another, "I'll Be Home for Christmas."  And of course, "White Christmas." and  "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire).   Oh Heck, there are just so many great Christmas songs, who can just stop at one?

    I love Johnny Mathis Christmas music. My Mom would put him on during the season at night after I went to bed while she did her Christmas stuff. I fell asleep listening and loved it so much. My favorite by him is "Sleigh Ride"
