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?

The Christmas Shoes by NewSong. The story of the little boy trying to buy his dying Mother a new pair of shoes on Christmas Eve. He doesn't have enough money so the man in line behind him steps up and pays for them. It shows the true meaning of Christmas to me. Watch the video on YouTube, you'll be crying before it's over

MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!  
⛄️🎄🤶🏻🎁

My favorite is "Christmas ( Baby, Please Come Home )" by Darlene Love. Especially this year; my brother died in June, and now there is only my mother and I. Darlene Love (center), with her group The Blossoms.

Snoopy's Christmas by the Royal Guardsmen

My husband passed last year. He wasn't a fan of most Christmas music but he loved this song. Everytime I hear it, I know he's still watching over us

My favorite Christmas song is I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.

It talks about war and injustice but in the end peace will prevail.

Christmas Time by Bryan Adams 

[BeatleloverKT]

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"

[bgsdaughter]

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?

[BeatleloverKT]

It's the most wonderful time of the year by Andy Williams. He sings it the best imo

[MaVolta]

You Make It Feel Like Christmas - Gwen Stefani, ft Blake Shelton

Rockin' around the Christmas tree by Brenda Lee. No one else sings it like her

[CherylR914199]

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.
